or, what I consider to be an outstanding SF song, "Who Needs The Peace Corps?" by Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention...

"Well I hope you live long now, I pray the Lord your soul to keep
I think I'll be going before we fold our arms and start to weep
I never thought for a moment that human life could be so cheap
'Cos when they finally put you in the ground
They'll stand there laughing and tramp the dirt down"

Contact with Humans outside of a Prey-Predator context has likely started the whole language thing.

They are not that far off from us. We learn by observing, and SO DO THEY!

We have culturally infected them so like in the Laurie Anderson song - Language is a Virus

Weird. The firts thing I though about when I saw that story is the Vegetable song from the arrogant worms :)

Carrot Juice Is Murder

Dying souls indead!

maybe his brother really was a half brother

You mean Bob?

Seriously though, I think you're right - there's no way they'd admit that the stole the whole Jesus thing from the Zeus/Alcmene/Hercules myth.. (There are WAY too many similarities for it to just be coincidence..)

So The Doors were in on this from the beginning.

Very interesting.

The real question is: will it just be a 20-minute endless tape loop or are they actually going to have a live week-long game?

(Hey, someone should tell Frank Black about this channel.)

The last time I went there it had an annoying popunder advert, but it's a good resource nonetheless.

Another resource is www.sing365.com - seems like they have a good selection.

What, are you the Fresh Prince, pre-BelAir?

you know... i'm a geek... a flamer/troll, but i'm a geek alright... and what i fucking hate... are women... the ones who fuck with you... they say you're a sweetheart, a cutie, one of a kind... blah blah... all that bullshit... next thing you know, they break your fucking heart... pfft... some "nice" girl she is... every woman, literally, i have met has done this to me... i'm 20... a virgin... a loser not to mention... and every fucking girl i meet... dumps me... fuck em!! all of em!! at least i'm a geek true at heart... i may be a social outcast... a descent of my own... but FUCK YOU!! you don't know as much as me bitch... BOW DOWN BEFORE THE ONE YOU SERVE!!

That's why porn is so rampant on the internet. That's the only way that a geek can ever see a naked woman from the comfort of his bedroom. Well, that is without having to pay $150-200/hr which cuts into the hardware budget.

Given Hank Sr.'s Nobody's Lonesome For Me, it's not a new phenom. Women have been treating geeky guys like shit for centuries. I bet the guy who designed the Pyramids had to buy a slave girl in order to get laid.

Oh, sure, Blame It On Cain .

Another problem with this whole approach to hyperlinking is the lack of context. Since the SmartTag parsing engine is simply doing a keyword search, how accurate can those links really be once you drift away from things like proper nouns (Microsoft, Ford, Tupperware, Scientology, etc.)? But can it tell the whether I want to fold an origami crane or the fact that they'll need a crane to pick the broken ruins up again. These are the kind of smart tags that could be potentially useful. Anything less is really just advertising.

Do I want to turn Japanese, no.

Are you sure?

The song, incidently, has nothing to do with Anime.
