    I am a big fan of semicolons; they are underused.

    Lacarnut uses it correctly, as a separator of two distinct and stand-alone thoughts within one sentence.

    Those who spelled "grammar" as "grammer" should consider themselves slapped.

    Did you see this from the same website?

    Why we should be eating horses

    Our horses ate a lot. When I say a lot, I mean all day, every day. They didn't nibble or peck - they vacuumed food up like a bulimic does after watching "America's Next Top Model." This resulted in a constant river of crap firing out of their asses. They'd also usually stand in the corner of the corral which was closest to the food supply, which caused the poop to all be concentrated in a single place.
