oops, writing & n b sp ; actually makes one. do'h. posted by dabitch at 2:02 AM on April 7, 2005
it goes deeper than you think, dabitch — observe:
& n b sp ; actually stands for "&nevar-forget bovine spongiform-encephalopathy ;", where the semicolon [;] stands for "kill all humans". No wonder they want to keep it hidden. posted by taz at 3:17 AM on April 7, 2005
To write the ampersand in one has to use &.
So to write you would have to write   .
Note that when you hit preview your & will be eaten, so you may wish to use copy/paste accordingly.

If you have a PC, you can also do this by holding down the alt key and pressing 255 on the number keypad (not the numbers above the alpha keys). posted by dg at 5:41 AM on April 7, 2005
* Should your enemy approach you when you are alone at the wedding reception, make a quick move for the cake knife and strike strongly and smoothly at their neck. Two strokes should be enough. Any more than that and the blood splatter may ruin the cake, and the bride will be terribly upset.

yeah. and hildago (hidalgo?, nunca puedo acordarme...) will be here next telling me i'm asking for stupid enhancements.
we should'a got matt drunk and then slipped him off to the vasectomy clinic, i'm thinking. but no doubt that simply reveals by abiding baby-hatred.
is there an alternative to mefi for obsessive intolerant impatient programmer/physicists, where children are verboten and character entities handled correctly? is that too much to ask, dear world? posted by andrew cooke at 8:37 AM on April 7, 2005
Seems a bit unfair to blame me when Daddy hasn't fixed it in nearly six years of childlessness. posted by mathowie's baby at 9:08 AM on April 7, 2005

Speaking of BSE, I saw headlines claiming the USDA is repressing reports of mad cow outbreaks. Given how lousy the US meat inspection system is (judging by the number of investigative reports that say so), this doesn't surprise me. posted by five fresh fish at 10:37 AM on April 7, 2005

Me gets a bit suspicious, and wonders if this mysterious Mefite is here primarily to propagate the obvious viral marketing campaign now underway. Check out the content of his/her/its comment in the BovineUnite.com AskMe thread. posted by ericb at 11:41 AM on April 7, 2005
five fresh fish: indeed, here in the U.S., the meatpacking industry is not legally compelled to announce or recall tainted meat; it a completely voluntary decision.

An explanation for when none is necessary, in the hope of alleviating the suspicion that I am a virus viral marketing campaign.
Up until recently I could not post as the elegent code that matt had designed would not allow my... unique name to get through the posting system.
However, since the implementation of the forced-preview method, my name is now allowed to post. I only noticed this recently.
I have spent too much time on the blue, so instead I am here to answer people's questions and hopefully give helpful advice along the way. Thank you all for noticing the obviously splendid job I am doing so far. posted by at 3:37 PM on April 7, 2005
