I think it was four beers versus a cup of coffee. That would explain the stupidity in the OP.
This is one of those threads that make me want to push a new policy out there. When you have an idea for a thread, go ahead, write it up. Then, take a nap, sleep on it and have a cup of coffee or two to help you sober up. Then read your post again. If it still looks like a good idea, go ahead and post it.
I really feel that course of action would prevent a lot of this kind of stuff.
