Oooh, sparkly! My thanks to everyone! I appreciate it! I actually had a Dalek cake for like my 5th grade birthday cake! I've got the photo somewhere. I'll try to post them. I also had Davros, a Cyberman, and K-9. All based on the entries in the Doctor Who Technical Manual. If I have them, I'll post them, too!

Check your last reply and hopefully, once the sweet smelling smoke clears it will all become clear.

Supposedly, a theatrical version release of Jeff Wayne's musical is on the way.

I thought it might have something to do with the Python language, as well. Strangely, I believe I tested Python by itself and it worked... oh, well. We can always add Python and Python control codes, too, I suppose.

Are you an expert on salmon parasites?

Hey, er, sorry I easily fly off the handle like this. But, I think you can understand my frustration. A string phrase like Python_ being flagged as a false positive security issue. I'm just trying to use a simple word from English that is not ending a sentence in my case and it causes me all this trouble. Little things like this that keep building unrelentingly for 23 years have just taken their toll on me.

Monty Python_ (The underscore is necessary because of an apparent and rather stupid false positive flag by something somewhere stating that the phrase Python_ with the underscore replaced by a space is an illegal key word. That it somehow, in someone's deranged imagination, represents a security issue. SHEESH!) sketch. Where Britain has to deal with a sudden outbreak of cannibalism during an expedition to Lake Pahoe.

Never mind... The problem is with the word Python if some things follow it, apparently. Like a space. So, try Python_ but replace the underscore with a space. SHEESH!

I need someone else to test this for me. Please try to make a reply with the term "Monty Python" without the quotes BUT include a space after "Monty Python" and any of these letters after it: s, k, e, or t. My tests have returned 403 errors trying to post those 4 tests.

GOOD GOD! The phrase M_o_n_t_y__P_y_t_h_o_n__s_k_e_t_c_h. without the underscores IS the cause?!

Still can't reply to that one thread with the simple phrase <DELETED PHRASE> Testing it here.

I would wager my English is better than yours! I'm the one who, thanks to idiots raising the curve, scored 130% on my English mid-term in 11th grade.

I tried Back, Refresh, Add Reply, Fast Reply, etc. it always does the same thing. I didn't use anything out of the ordinary, unless M_o_n_t_y__P_y_t_h_o_n__s_k_e_t_c_h. without the underscores, of course, is considered somehow a character combination that's a potential security issue. I tried it just with those 3 words and the period at one point and still got the error. And only on that post.

Receiving intermittent errors trying to reply here: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=3067&st=20 So, I tried a post to Test and a reply to it. Worked damn fine, naturally. So, I tried more tests in the thread. Got ONE time it accepted a test that it won't let me edit or reply to. Maybe someone can tell me what a 403 Forbidden error on accessing /index.php means? Is it just a temporary database error and I should try again later? Or something else. Cleaning out the cache doesn't help.

I just got through a hundred cakestack of Sony's and only had 2 that had to be reburned. That's a 98% success rate. Not bad IMO. As for the RW logo, I do believe, yes, that they chose it to trick just that many more people as they could into picking up their brand and getting the license fee for themselves.

Not in the Royal Navy, I am reliably informed. They're too busy dealing with outbreaks of cannibalism.

A knocking shop?!

Why? Did the other thread go... tits up?

Well, you've come to the right source. I consider myself the world's unofficial expert on Frankenstein. Frankenstein had no assistant in the original novel. He had to do the job on his own for obvious reasons. In Universal's first Frankenstein movie, Frankenstein had a hunched over assistant named Fritz. He even had a cane. Fritz was played by Dwight Frye who would, interestingly enough, return in the sequel, Bride Of Frankenstein, as Dr. Proetorius's assistant. Ygor was a shepherd who the villagers attempted to hang and broke his neck. But, he survived and per the usual customs with hanging, if the victim survives he is "cleared" of his crimes; it is viewed as the will of god. Ygor was played Bela Lugosi and would return in the sequel to Son Of Frankenstein, The Ghost Of Frankenstein. In that film, he manages to trick both the Monster and a surgeon (Played by Lionel Atwill who was in every one of Universal's original Frankenstein cycle except for the first picture.) into putting his brain into the monster's body. So, interestingly enough, Bela Lugosi ends up playing the monster in the sequel, Frankenstein Meets The Wolf Man, where Lon Chaney, Jr. who had played the monster in Ghost, appears as Larry Talbot. So, what happened was a case similar to how public conception has equated the name of Frankenstein with his monster. That though the creature never had a name, people call it Frankenstein even though that's the name of its creator. A similar situation has occurred with Igor. Because there was a hunched over assistant in the Frankenstein movie, and Ygor was assisting the son of Frankenstein in the movie of the same name, and Ygor had a hunch deformity, people have equated Fritz with Ygor and both together. Since most people's interpretation of Frankenstein comes from the Universal movies, they have it printed in their memory that Frankenstein had an assistant named Igor. And, in popular culture, the word Igor has come to have that connotation. When you say Igor, you immediately think of someone's hunched over slave, taking orders from a mad scientist.

Ah, but, Igor (Originally Ygor.) had nothing to do with Dracula. Ygor first appeared in Son Of Frankenstein. The closest thing Dracula would have had to Ygor is Renfield.
