From page three of the "Alternative Mounts" thread (where, incidentally, my mention of the war elephants used in Greater India and by Hannibal spawned off a bunch of posts composed of complete awesome, but these are not them) comes this little exchange:

EDIT:add explanation part to quoteSalmoneus wrote: Really, the government approach to data security is like a drug-addicted vagrant telling you why you shouldn't give drug addicts money:
"Can I have some money?"
"Oh, sure..."
"Thanks. You know, you shouldn't give out money to drug addicts. They'll just go buy drugs."
"Oh! Good point. So can I have that money back?"
"No."
"Oh, ok. Well, thanks for the advice."
"No problem. Can I have some money?"
"What? No!"
"Awh, but you're just going to give it to undeserving drug addicts... why not give it to me instead?"
"Because... what...? What are you... No, sorry, just go away."
*snatches at wallet*
"Money! Mine! Give me money!"
"What? No, go away!"
"If you don't give me your money, somebody might steal it!"
"Nobody's going to steal it. Look, it's secure!"
"It's not secure! If you keep it in your wallet, any madman could steal it at any moment. Look!"
[*tries to steal wallet*]

I was amused by Schwatever's elaboration upon Pthag's dismissal of a question about why the long mark used in IPA is a, "triangle colon," instead of a, "dot colon."

That is why they have different shapes.
That is why they mean different things.
That is why they are used in different contexts.
One looks like the other.
As a consequence, they can be confused easily.
This is sometimes convenient.
