    Sim, why do you have a semi colon on this board's front page:

    Just curious if it's an IPV6 thing or some other reason?

    Because hyphens are so last year.

    (Seriously - I just thought it looked better, no other reason)

    So, if we had a double semi colon, would that just make a single colon?

    ;; = :

    ("semi" meaning "half")

    Not sure, but if you have 4 semi-colons (or 8 commas) you get this: ҉

    It's a "Combining Cyrillic Millions Sign"
    Not to be confused with the "Combining Cyrillic Hundred Thousands Sign": ҈

    It's the view you get when looking at the end of your colon.....where it exits your body. :p

    Not from personal experience but is it intuition that tells me someone's getting a colonoscopy? :eek:

    A colon doubling in size sounds serious....may require a colonoscopy?

    But isn't a colonoscopy going to cause exactly the same problem of a double colon?

    Oh hangon - that would be a coloncopy - my mistake.

    Last time I was dealing with double colons I was being hassled by a couple of A***holes.

    If I had a butcher shop, I would specialise in more unusual foods and totally call it "Roes and Colons"
