I can't think of a day when it is NOT the right day to celebrate chocolate--but it's nice to know the days where I can eat chocolate guilt-free!! (well, more-so that usual) Thanks for the scoop on chocolate.

Editors--we need a chocolate icon in the Fodors smileys!!

I am at this very moment having the most delicious eggplant roti ever imaginable. I will have terrible heartburn when I'm done...but...it's uselessly worth it!

There are 10 kinds of people in the world - Those who understand binary and those who don't.

I apologize in advance as this may turn to be useful...

P_M, this is complex, but this may do... while we don't have a chocolate icon

Hmmm, Faina, this is complex indeed and you've got my brain working to solve this puzzle. :-?

BTW, getting my brain to work is no easy chore. People who live or work with me are already well aware of that, but around here, it's just another useless fact.

My nickname is "Schnookie".

It is also the screen name of a poster. But I've been called Schnookie for many, many years.

It is not advisable to put prosthetic body parts into your checked luggage.

razzle, are you sure ?

Miscellaneous information..probably also useless:
If there is a crazy person on the streetcar, and I get on, eventually, he will gravitate to me.
I have many crazy friends now

You too Scarlett? All my friends make fun of how the crazy people gravitate to me. Especially since my friends know I'm a bit of a germ freak and hate it when they try to shake my hand or touch my arm.

Now for something really useless.

Left-handed people are more prone to suicide then right-handers.

P_M & Faina:

~o) Icon for hot chocolate perhaps?
Chocolate milk ?

Just ate chocolate icon ?

Smiley for : "Can't eat chocolate because of 10 pounds gained from recent chocolate binge"

: Smiley for "Don't mess with me...I haven't had any chocolate today!"

How do we get more e-cons on Fodors?!!

I beg to differ, dear LoveItaly. My info was useful only to those with prosthetic body parts. If everything you've got is the original, then this is useless info.

These are some good ideas for chocolate icons.

Ouch GeorgeW! Hope you got good drugs!

Mr.GoTravel did the same thing with a fan belt on the roof of his restaurant with his left index finger. He couldn't figure out what he used the tip of his left index finger for until the day he pulled up the the ATM Machine and his car was 1/4 inch too far away.

What's with the new ATM "enhancement" thing that a voice says "You've got to be kidding" when you try to make a cash withdrawal?

GoTravel, my injured digit was the lowly pinky and only the top of it was amputated. The doctor said I could play basketball in a month if I want. As for pain, I've had little and have considered offering my stash of prescribed oxycotin to Rush Limbaugh!
