      Tell that to this guy. He claims to solved the riddle of time. I don't agree with everything the guy says, but there is some insightfull stuff their, and he offers $10,000 to anybody who can disprove his theory (no takers so far).

      One time, these two girls were talking, and I asked them if they ever kissed eachother. One of them slapped me, and they both walked off. So I looked where they were sitting to see if there were any wet spots, and there weren't, or not that I could see. So I sat there, to see if anyone would notice that I was sitting there instead of the girls. A few people walked by, but no one looked at me. So I started grunting really loud. All that did was make me pass out. Then I woke up in the gutter a few feet away from where I was sitting. My pants were gone, and everything in it. And my underpants were gone too. This was a problem because I was miles from home. So I got up and started walking in the direction of home. I walked past some people and they looked worried. I kept forgetting why they were worried, and I'd say "hi" to them. Then I'd remember my lack of pants/underpants. This gave me a hard-on because ... I'm not sure why. But it was cool, walking around with a hard-on outside - I never did that before. Then the cops came up to me and asked me to get into the car. So I did, and they took me home, which was nice because of my lack of pants/underpants. No one was home, so I just turned on the TV. Eventually, my sister came home, and she saw my lack of pants/underpants and I asked her if it turned her on. She told me, "No you sick psycho, did you take your meds?" Or something to that effect. That's when I remembered that my meds were in my pants, so I went to the bathroom for my other bottle. And I took my meds, and I felt better. My head hurts.

      Is this trolling? No.

      Is this insightful? Yes. Because time is unstoppable, abd fighting against it is futile.

      It IS better acting within it, realising our place in the universe. I guess only Star Trek freaks will mod this as troll as it shatters their dreams.

    NECROPHILIA by Theoderich
    The information contained is anonymous and was supplied by an9420@anon.penet.fi

    I: Introduction
    Very few text files have been written regarding the sexual tendencies and practices of necrophilic's. While most people would prefer to believe that we do not exist we most certainly do as is obvious to anyone who visits a cemetery during our nightly rampages. Necrophilic's prefer to go about their business alone; sharing is not a part of this alternative lifestyle as the corpse usually wears out fairly quickly. This is not to say that the occasional orgy involving four or five necrophilic's and about a dozen or so corpses does not occur, but it is very rare. In this file I will describe common (and some uncommon) techniques which necrophilic's use to gain satisfaction from their stiff partners. Hopefully these vivid descriptions will encourage you to go out to your local cemetery and to join our ranks!
    II: Finding a partner
    Finding a partner for your necrophilic activities is definitely the hardest part. You not only have to gain access to the corpse but you also have to find one which suits your tastes. Granted, some necrophilic's would screw road kill if given the chance but most of us are more discriminating. Your chances depend upon where you pick up your date. If you have access to a morgue it would definitely be your best bet as the corpses there are usually the freshest and have not yet been treated for burial. They may be a bit chilly because they've been lying in the meat locker for days but that really shouldn't make a big difference to the determined necrophilic. Cemeteries are a bit harder to deal with as finding a screwable corpse is harder to do. However, if you know how to interpret signs this shouldn't be a problem. If a grave consists of a mound of fresh dirt and is covered with flowers, chances are that the stiff hasn't been laying here for too long. Rotting flowers on the mound usually hint to the state of the corpse as well. Some people are exclusively into 'porking the bone', i.e. sex with skeletons. In this case you can dig up almost any grave and hope that the inhabitant hasn't yet disintegrated into dust. Try to scope out a fairly secluded cemetery for your passions unless you like a sense of danger to go along with the sex. Having anyone catch you in the act is NOT fun, and if you're picked up by a cop chances are that you won't be able to screw anything but Bubba behind bars for the next few decades. People are generally not understanding of the necrophilic lifestyle, so it will probably be a long time before we can come out of the closet.
    III: Preparation
    Depending upon where you are at this point you'll have either a little or a lot of work to do. The person in the morgue will obviously have to do little more than to open the locker, pull the corpse out and bang away. If you're one of the cemetery people you'll have more work to do. An experienced necrophilic is always equipped with the bare essentials: a shovel, vaseline and a box of rubbers. Why the shovel is needed should be obvious, but if the ground is hard then you might need more equipment to dig up your date. Vaseline is used to loosen the corpse up a bit. This makes it less likely for a body part to break off while you're having fun and it also prevents your mantool from becoming too irritated while screwing the dried out pussy. The BOX of condoms is used to play it safe; no necrophilic should be without it. You never know which STDs your partner had during his/her lifetime, and believe me, it doesn't get any better after the person dies. You can put on more than one rubber for extra protection if it is warranted, but screwing a corpse without protection is just plain stupid unless you want to be the next date for a necrophilic. If you're in a cemetery try to drag the corpse out of the grave and behind a bush or to another secluded place. Pumping away in the grave may seem more convenient, but it's a severe disadvantage to you if you need to take off in a hurry. Sometimes the corpse is to
