    @Ofelix:

    How about "the" and "thanks"? Or "though" and "think"?

    "Then" is voiced, "thin" voiceless. I'm under the impression that French doesn't have those consonants, hence whenever some comedian does an exaggerated French accent, they say "zen" and "sin."

    You can actually feel the difference. When you pronounce th as in then (only pronounce the th otherwise the rest of the word obscures it) you should feel vibrations in the throat area, when you pronounce th as in thin (again, only pronounce the th) you shouldn't feel anything.

    @Shell - An honestly there is no pun intended...

    The reason you don't have a good hamster is probably because you didn't choose the blackbear breed of hamster. No, I'm not kidding, blackbear are a fairly new breed of hamster. They have been around for about 20 years I think. Anyway, blackbear hamsters are very very gentle and rarely bite. Ours has never ever bitten and he was not tamed when we got him. He is now almost three years and still going strong.

    Most hamsters need a lot of persuasion and handling when you get them so they learn how to be tame. They are not noted to be friendly from the start (unless it is a blackbear hamster).

    I'm mostly done with my photoshop project, howerver I truly doubt I'll have enough points for it, it's unlikely I'll pass this class. Oh well it's not a prerequirement for any next term's class. It seems I'll spend some more time in this college than I had thought.

    Still it is in my ability and my heart to provide thou with good spam.

    Pro SPAM et Sper poblo et nostro commun salvamen :pope:
