Did you miss adding a smily or do you not see the irony of this statement.

Nothing ironic about some poor punter blowing up like a balloon because someone put nuts in his path.

Its a bird feeder for putting nuts in................
Therefore when used as instructed, i will contain nuts.
Even people in the GD forum would find that funny ;)

I think it depends on what you're feeding, no? They don't always contain nuts. Whole grains are the safest general purpose bird-feed. Some things are downright toxic. It's a bit like people feeding ducks and swans bread. They lack the alpha-amylase to break it down, so it gums them up. It can actually be lethal to small waterfowl. Don't mess with a qualified avian nutritionist ;)

Now, if you want to laugh at someone with a nut allergy, then you should be laughing at the South American guy who bought a particular brand of condoms because they used a lubricant with traces of brazil-nut oil. This gentleman was sensitised to brazil-nut oil and he used to swell up most impressively apparently :eek: . Now that's self-inflicted and therefore, funny.

Can rats have a nut allergy? if so how can i warn them of the dangers.

It's OK - so long as you leave the wrapper on, they'll spot the warning notice and leave it to the rats that don't have a nut allergy. Obviously. :rolleyes:
 
[well aware this is completely OT but an important issue]I have a nut allergy and the warnings are very important. Not for intelligent people like you and I, but for the one chance in a million that someone will not think and eat something that obviously contains nuts. A small amountcan be fatal for someone with a severe allergy and, as such, it's not funny :) .[/well aware this is completely OT but an important issue]

Of course you are 100% correct, and being 100% right and just a little 'righteous' you and I will take a hefty slagging. :rolleyes:

For the middle 8 years of my career I audited food factories and the funniest and saddest thing in one vision was seeing the reaction on people's faces when I told them they had to take the Marathon/Snickers bars out of the vending machines in the canteens and breakrooms. No more Cornetto's and we even staged a 'raid' once on staff lunchboxes to check no-one was bringing anything in that had nuts in it. And of course they were. Marzipan slices. Her face was all innocence. "Does it contain nuts?" :rolleyes:

And it's not just nuts - wheat, eggs, shellfish - all kinds of stuff has to be declared as an allergen these days.

Im not saying its funny, weve gone from this
Conclusion is its a 32 and 64 bit capable Cpu and thus can be run on 32 or 64 bit OS'es that support it. Nothing to argue about.
