Damned 32-bit time_t overflow made the world go crazy.

He had one positive test and one that was 'irregular'. That one positive might have been a false positive. If he has had the virus recently and recovered, he will have antibodies, and I believe a specific antibody test exists. Essendon should have him tested for antibodies and if that comes...

If Conor tests negative for both the virus and antibodies, surely the only conclusion is that the positive test was false, and that both he and Stewart can play?

We lost the first 5 games I saw live, and I thought I was a jinx. Only saw them rarely then, living in Tasmania and Sydney. Finally had a win on number 6. The first game was in '86 and the Krakouers carved us up, and despite the defeat I enjoyed watching the game. Losing got old after that.

First sentence or second? :)

AFAIK? I thought vegans never left anyone in any doubt.

Why would anyone identify with such a small portion ( < 1/64) of their ancestry? I think that when a person is raised in a particular culture they will probably identify as being of that culture, regardless of whether they share much ancestry with other members of that culture. But if someone...

Aspro clear. Always works for me but Panadol never.

OMG, If Amanda Vanstone makes an appearance, I'm out.

Agreed. Its just not a football issue. We don't test players for STDs, but that doesn't imply approval. Cue the role model argument in 3.. 2.. 1..

So you're OK with PEDs that help a little bit; that's not cheating? Are you OK with PEDs that help a lot? If not, where do you draw the line? I acknowledge there is a line to be drawn, but for me that line is crossed when you take non-food substances for the purpose of increasing athletic...

I'll spew if Sharapova doesn't get a two year ban. It will just highlight the harshness of our penalty.

Apologies if I'm labouring the point, but the human body contains 50,000 different proteins alone (http://www.innovateus.net/health/how-many-proteins-exist-human-body). And that figure is counted conservatively, considering very many chemically different proteins to be the same (see remarks re...

Unprocessed meat, fruit, and vegetables contain tens of thousands of compounds. Everything you can touch is made of (gasp) chemicals.

I'm hearing good things about that new Prent Brismall guy at the doggies.

I don't agree with whitelisting. Ordinary food contains at least tens of thousands of different compounds, and it would be a nightmare to identify and list them all. A blacklist is far easier.

Yeah, you'd be stumped by it.

He repays the third party, who has probably asked him to appeal.

And we care about that why?

Are you a horse? Nay. I'm none the wiser.

If by some fluke we win a game this year, should we sing "See the Bombers Fly Up" or should we sing "Who do You Think You are Kidding Mr Hitler?"

The whole 'strands of cable' thing is bewildering. 1. The players' advocates didn't object to something that was so obviously dangerous to their clients. 2. The panel wasn't entitled to 'prefer that analysis' regardless of the facts. Sometimes a subset of facts should be treated as links in...

I haven't checked my ticket yet, so I can maintain the fantasy. Daughter has ticket in NY. Can I trust her ...

Perhaps there are grounds for appeal. In the Chamberlain case (2nd) the court said that the proper approach for evaluating circumstantial evidence was to apply the standard of proof to each purported fact, and if each fact did not pass muster it was to be discarded from consideration. Only...

Assuming it was the truth, good on him.

Time to find a new sport to follow. I'm done with AFL.

There's a 5 AM? Who knew.

My F5 key is dreading Tuesday.
