They do get ghoti flavoured food though...

Are homoeopaths paid in millionths of a penny for their medicines?

Mmm, that's a good point. When paying for homoeopath 'medicine' we should hand them a bottle of water and say "Well, I dipped a £10 note into there"

I wanted to rep Frank for this but cannot.

So I have paid it forward and repped Abysinth instead for an equally good laugh.

fish?

I thought I knew the answer to this puzzle but I'm glad I Googled. The answer is that the food might taste of fish, or it might not taste of anything at all...

gh as in though (/ðoʊ/) ;
o as in people (/'piːpl/) ;
t as in ballet (/'bæleɪ/) ;
i as in business (/'bɪznəs/)

Congrats to Cathy... and Frank even if he had to google, but yeah.... fish.

Yeah learning phonetics is really handy and impresses the hell out of students.

Seeing it's no longer the Royal Mail, are we going to have a new picture on our stamps? I propose Rich Uncle Pennybags, the top-hatted bloke from Monopoly.

One thing about Monopoly, how come there's only the one boardgame that involves property trading?

When you find there is nothing is nothing to talk about, that's a vacuum in the conversation. Nature, as any scientist will tell you, hates a vacuum. So Nature will create things for us to talk about to fill the vacuum in the conversation ....

So why do we get awkward silences?

A cat's sense of smell is fourteen times more acute than a human's. Why does my cat follow me into the toilet?

In my case it's probably so our cat can have a good laugh.....

In my case it's probably because that's exactly the opposite of what I want her to do.
