MAN! That was too funny. I'll have to forward that one to my nephew. He's a HUGE fan of the big guy. He has two budgies...one is named Darth, the other Vader, and he's been donning the cape and the mask of DV the past four Hallowe'ens running.

Wonder what he's doing for this year...

LOL! Jedi as a religion--that's a good one. And my mom thought I was nuts for calling my border collie Elvis (and yes, it's after the man himself). However, in retrospect, I should have called my dog Tommy Lee as he's a little too amourous. I commented to my husband that it wouldn't surprise me to see in a few years moose and bear wandering out from the bush with border collie ears and colouring!

From Wikipedia:

Not to be confused with compliment.

In many different fields, the complement of X is something that together with X makes a complete whole, something that supplies what X lacks.

Not to be confused with Complement.

Compliment may be
An expression of praise, congratulation or encouragement.

Not that I'm rubbing it in, or anything. LOL

Minor detail. Sadly though people won't use this valuable information and we'll still see poor Nato cutting and pasting this link throughout countless threads.
