I don't recall my game crashing at that point, but I do remember the circuit puzzles being really hard. They drove me nuts. Shocked

Ouch. OK, I stand corrected - crash is definitely a bug.
Hope the patch works, and doesn't invalidate your save games.

Haha... just read a funny story... and to avoid a double po(a)st to the
"Right Now" thread, I decided to post it here into this anyway already
derailed thread lol... Very Happy

(there's no source available, it came along with a daily digest lol...
maybe anyone of you know it already... )

GRANDPA'S IRS AUDIT

The IRS decides to audit Grandpa and summons him to the IRS office.

The IRS auditor is not surprised when Grandpa shows up with his
attorney.

The auditor says, "Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and
no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win
money gambling. I'm not sure the IRS finds that believable."

"I'm a great gambler and I can prove it," says Grandpa. "How about a
demonstration?"

The auditor thinks for a moment and says, "Okay. Go ahead."

Grandpa says, 'I'll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my
own eye."

The auditor thinks a moment and says, "It's a bet."

Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it.

The auditor's jaw drops.

Grandpa says, "Now, I'll bet you two thousand dollars that I can
bite my other eye."

The auditor can tell Grandpa isn't blind, so he takes the bet.

Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.

The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three
grand, with Grandpa's attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

"Want to go double or nothing?" Grandpa asks. "I'll bet you six
thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk and pee
into that wastebasket on the other side and never get a drop
anywhere in between."

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully
and decides there's no way this old guy can possibly manage that
stunt, so he agrees again.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants. Although he
strains mightily, he can't make the stream reach the wastebasket on
the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor's
desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a
major loss into a huge win.

Grandpa's attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

"Are you okay?" the auditor asks.

"Not really," says the attorney. "This morning, when Grandpa told me
he'd been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand
dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and
you'd be happy about it."

Doug is the real last digit of Pi.

Also Chuck Norris is just one of the many avatars of Sharper, some others being Mister T, The Hoff, Santa, Superman, Thor and Ghandi.

Also loved the gag Jana Wink :d

Doug Sharper prefers to iron his clothes while he is still wearing them.
