I'm sure he Newton's of good cuts and unified them, so give him his due Prof's.

Maybe, perhaps he was a relative.

Water is heavier than butane because butane is a lighter fluid.
The less you need, the more you have.
Why is there a "Highway to Hell" and only a "Stairway to Heaven"? A prediction of the expected traffic load?

Which means water is also lighter than water. It simultaneously weighs nothing and accounts for all mass in the universe.

Obviously a lack of coffee. Good eye.

Reminds me of this one: What is the difference between a hippo and a Zippo? The one is heavy and the other is a little lighter.
|
|
|
|
|
Which in turn, reminds me of this one:
What is a hippo? The hippopotamus, also called the hippo, common hippopotamus or river hippopotamus, is a large, mostly herbivorous, semiaquatic mammal and ungulate native to sub-Saharan Africa.

It's always a good time to use ungulate in a sentence.

... too quiet
10 hours without a "do my homework" request (or any other request) in QA? 
Where is the real Codeproject, and what have you done with it?
[edit]
Question posting isn't working - I tried and failed.

Possibly because of this[^].

|

Maybe all the "do my homework" questions will now be posted elsewhere (look out SO, etc.).

Summer break?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Remember we cannot see your screen. Where did it fail and what were you doing? We are happy to help if you tell us what you have tried, and what error you are getting.
Sorry ... couldn't resist

I tried to tell you but it failed when I tried.
Can't you just fix it for me? plzzzzzzzzz ... I gotta hand it in tomorrow ...

("1".ToDec() * 100M).ToString() == "100"
("1.10".ToDec() * 100M).ToString() = "110.00"
And because PayPal wants integer amounts (hence the multiplier by 100), it bombs when it sees a string amount containing ".00".
Fix:
("1.10".ToDec() * 100M).ToString().LeftOf(".00");
Yes, copious use of extension methods, but really???
public static decimal ToDec(this string value, decimal defaultValue = 0)
{
decimal ret;
if (!decimal.TryParse(value, out ret))
{
ret = defaultValue;
}
return ret;
}
Why, after multiplying by 100M, would ToString() behave differently when the original value had "cents". It makes no "cents" to me!
I guess it's because the decimal type originally had a fractional component to it, and that somehow gets preserved when multiplying by 100, so the ToString() behavior changes.

You can remove decimal part if you divide the number by 1.000000000000000000000000000000000m

Well, that's a different solution!

Or preferably:

Ha! You beat me to it! "###0" is the best answer.
