Sorry about the kittens, but didn't Van Gogh cut off his right ear? Or did he paint his self portrait looking in a mirror?

I see what you did there. For someone with only a left ear, you're saying the audio lead should be white not red.

But if you're mixing a mono signal, it probably doesn't matter hugely.

The cost of joining the Roman Numeral Society was exactly £499
They wouldn't let me in because I didn't have ID.

499 in Roman numerals is CDXCIX, not ID. You only put letters before or after other letters which are one step away in their power. so units on tens, tens on hundreds, hundreds on thousands etc.

So you split it up to write it. so 499 is 400 (CD) then 90 (XC) and then 9 (IX)

Sorry to be a geek but if I can't be one on this thread, where can I be?

Scalpel...retractors...kitten.....watering can

You have to be near Roman age to get the last reference probably, but I appreciate the geeky correction

Using your Roman numeral method, I assume they would have let you in if the cost was £495.

This didn't get the recognition it deserved. It took me a minute but it was worth it!

Looks like a 32 bit PCI (not PCIe) or ISA Soundblaster card to me. You know, the ones with the 15 pin D-sub analogue joystick port.

Just cos I didn't find that funny, there's no need to go off on a tangent.

That's acute way to react.

The exact opposite of how I thought that joke would go

So are you being obtuse?...

Back on the roman numerals jokes...

The Romans had 4 kinds of poisons, poisons 1, 2, and 3 killed you, poison 4 just made you itchy
