Cool. Nice action sequence, but I don't know what Spider Solitaire is. Well,
obviously some kind of solitaire, but why is he saying "you're *welcome*"?
What is it Mandy should've thanked him for..? I don't get it. :\ Since lou
liked it I guess I'm just slow or something.

Spider Solitaire is a solitaire variant supplied with Windows XP, and is
highly addictive (says my Wifely Person - couldn't prize her off it most
nights).

He's just been flying-kicked in the head.  He's not all there...

I'd have drawn little cartoon birds circling his head, but can't make 'em
that small  :o)

Nope, Greenland is the worlds largest island. Had Greenland been a
continent of it's own, it wouldn't be counted an island...

Obviously some propoganda going on here since I was taught in Geography 
that Australia is the world's largest island :-)

Well, at least you can boast your unique plant and animal life. :)

I live in Australia and I think over here we claim to be the world's 
largest island and a continent to boot :-) Not even the dictionary bears 
that out as an island is a landmass entirely surrounded by water (but 
smaller than a continent). I don't care either way 8)

But then some history books over here say we had the worlds only 
"peaceful" settlement of a native population... by the English - which is a 
load of bollocks!

Not to mention Antarctica's an island and a continent and is clearly
larger than Australia anyway.
