A visiting professor at the University of Alabama is giving a seminar on the supernatural. To get a feel for his audience, he asks:
"How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands.
"Well that's a good start. Out of those of you who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you've ever seen a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands.
"That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?" 15 students raise their hands.
"That's a great response. Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" 3 students raise their hands.
"That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?"
One student in the back raises his hand. The professor is astonished. He takes off glasses, takes a step back, and says,
"Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have slept with a ghost. You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience."
The redneck student replies with a nod and begins to make his way up to the podium.
The professor says, "Well, tell us what it's like to have sex with a Ghost."
The student replies, "Ghost?!? I thought you said 'goats'."
Do you think Bob Hope should be allowed to be buried in Arlington National Cemetary?
I think so, and President Bush should issue an executive order allowing Bob's family to bury him there if they wish.
Don't worry, CNN will give you fluff pieces on John Kerry's haircut, and how much better for the economy it is that George Bush's haircut.
I know this has been covered, but Boromir (of Company of the Ring a.k.a The Nine Walkers fame) was the brother of Faramir, and the son of Denethor II. See here
These was another fellow with the name Boromir from Gondor, but he was the son of Steward Denethor I. Neither Boromir's became king of Gondor--they were of the line of Stewards since the last of the kingly line was killed. See the The Encyclopedia of Arda
That and the Tweens can only buy so many carppy disks.
I went to battle MC Escher, but drew a blank
HAHA, you troll! You left out the line breaks! HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Best part:
"What do you think should of happened to Microsoft? Are they a threat to the open standards nature of the web?
I think it would have been great for Microsoft to have been broken up into an operating system company and an applications company. It would have ended up...."
Incorrect usage of "of" instead of "have" in the question. O'Reilly's answer starts with an unusual number of "haves." Coincidence? Or subtle joke?
C'mon, simpletons, you who are spending all these points so you can mark everything "offtopic"... what does that do for you tools? Does it get you off? Who fucking cares? Why stymie conversation, the flow of ideas?
Really... go fuck yourselves.
