Not sure if you have ever checked out this site, if not you may find it very interesting, useful and humorous. I check every month for the "Don't Do That".

Thanks for posting, Joannabanana - what a hoot!! I remember visiting the site a few years ago, but now I'm going to bookmark it. He backs up his humour with some great info.
Here's the funny portion of an article on PH:
Quoting:
The number 7.0 is considered neutral, ground zero, neither acidic nor alkaline. Don't ask me why they chose 7.0. Some scientist was tired of using 5 or 10 as medians, I would guess. These scientists were obviously not card-counting blackjack players either, because the simplest thing in the world would have been to make neutral zero, then go -1, -2, etc., for acidic and +1, +2, etc., for alkaline, a sort of gardener's Hi-Lo, which would have been much easier. It would also make it so that you double-down an eleven versus the dealer's ace only if the blueberry plants were dead, and stand on 16 versus dealer's 10 any year the azaleas bloomed, but enough of this. Here I am at midnight writing humor for the .05 percent of my visitors who are card counters. Of course, if you are a card counter, that was very funny stuff. I am going downstairs for a cup of tea.
He then goes on to give some great information. Going to read more ... He kills me!

Most of his writings are full of laughs. There is a link on the main page of his history. He spent some time in Thunderbay years ago.
What a hoot! Thanks for that link - I'd never heard of him.
