That's the weird sensation you feel when you're so afraid, that your anal sphincter starts to quiver and twitch...

...here's a list I found - http://www.elizabethcastro.com/html/extras/entities.html

Character entities are used in coding HTML and XHTML documents, but they can be used here by simply typing the entity or number for whatever character you want to use, and it'll show up in your post.

See the chart at the link, you'll see what I mean, easier than me trying to explain it here.

Find "Character Map' in the Accessories folder of you program menu.

Holding down ALT while typing a four-digit code gives you all sorts of great characters:

ALT-0193 = Á
ALT-0201 = É
ALT-0205 = Í
ALT-0211 = Ó
ALT-0218 = Ú
ALT-0209 = Ñ
ALT-0225 = á
ALT-0233 = é
ALT-0237 = í
ALT-0243 = ó
ALT-0250 = ú
ALT-0241 = ñ
ALT-0161 = ¡
ALT-0191 = ¿
ALT-0182 = ¶
ALT-0174 = ®
ALT-0169 = ©

And if you really want to go nuts:

ALT 1580 - جحخدذرزسشص - 1599
ALT 1360 - 1367 - ՐՑՒՓՔՕՖՙ

Go crazy exploring the ALT codes. It's fun. Somewhere in there are the Greek alphabet, the Cyrillic alphabet, the Arabic alphabet, and dozens more.

Newt Gingrich is a dark-hearted scum blister, Ron Paul an insane, racist pig-fucker and Mitt Romney the deformed spawn of a religion founded by a raging psychopath that gives women the same legal status as cars
