Pregnancy

An 18 year-old girl tells her Mum that she has missed her period for two months. Very worried, the mother goes to the Chemist and buys a pregnancy kit. The test result shows that the girl is pregnant.Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did this to you? I want to know!" The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.

Half an hour later a Ferrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man with grey hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of the Ferrari and enters the house.He sits in the living room with the father and the mother, and the girl and tells them: "Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem. I can't marry her because of my personal family situation but I'll take charge.I will pay all costs and provide for your daughter for the rest of her life. Additionally, if a girl is born I will bequeath her 2 retails tores, a townhouse, a beach front villa and a $2,000,000 bank account.

If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a$4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and$2,000,000 each. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?"

At this point, the girls father, who had remained silent, places ahand firmly on the man's shoulder and tells him, "You fuck her again"

New Computer

So, I did manage to get a new computer system over the holiday season:

Shuttle XPC SN25P
AMD Athlon x2 3800+
nVIDIA GeForce 7800GTX OC
2GB Corsair ValueSelect RAM
500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 HDD <-- this thing is loud..is it meant to be so?!

Along with my new Belinea 20" WideScreen LCD..everything rocks and is as it should be. I also have the Logitech G15 keyboard and the G7 mouse, both rock and are highly reccommended.

I also recently received an XBOX360 Premium as a gift, I managed to pick up Condemned: Criminal origins and PGR3 with JadeEmpire too. I use the VGA Cable to connect to my LCD, there are several issues with this none which can be solved by myself, it's all up to Microsoft.

1) Contrast - this is not normal, it is too high or something, colors aren't very colourful :)
2) Size - Surely you can support a proper 16:10 resolution? They have 1280x768 but not 1280x800 so my cars are all stretched!
