11 Jun 07 - 11:09 PM (#2074335) Subject: BS: How fast do you drivel? From: Bee-dubya-ell I drivel at roughly twice the speed of sound. I used to drivel at slightly more than the speed of light, but someone told me that nothing can exceed the speed of light, so I had to slow down. Didn't want to break any laws, especially the laws of physics. But, you know, maybe they're wrong. I mean, physicists are really smart people, and smart people don't drivel. It takes a real idiot to drivel. For example, this post was started by an idiot and look at how its driveling rate is accelerating! It started out being merely inane and pointless, and now it makes no fucking sense at all! Hell, it's driveling along at near light-speed and still has one wheel stuck in a rut! And, also, when they talk about nothing can exceed the speed of light, they're talking about light moving through a vacuum. Light can be slowed down. All you have to do is catch the light in a jar of mollasses (treacle to you Brits). A snail crawls twice as fast as a sunbeam caught in a vat of treacle. (I've decided I like "treacle" better than "mollasses". It sounds more disgusting.) Even a smart person can drivel faster than that. Drivel safely and don't forget to buckle up. And, for God's sake, eat your cucumbers! |

11 Jun 07 - 11:24 PM (#2074351) Subject: RE: BS: How fast do you drivel? From: Bee-dubya-ell You're right, Rapaire, there must be some sort of connection between treacle and driveling, though the exact nature of that connection is somewhat enigmatic. Maybe the cucumber knows. |

11 Jun 07 - 11:32 PM (#2074355) Subject: RE: BS: How fast do you drivel? From: Rapparee I think that we must conduct an experiment: someone will jog through a vat, a veritable sea, of treacle and in so doing will determine the connection between treacle and driveling, for only the running knows. |

12 Jun 07 - 06:20 PM (#2075215) Subject: RE: BS: How fast do you drivel? From: Liz the Squeak I can drivel at about 60 words per minute - 85 if they're small. 100 if they're not spelled correctly. My tits like to do it upsidedown. Mind you, the feeder has been empty for a few days... I must fill my nut pecker up too. LTS |

12 Jun 07 - 10:25 PM (#2075384) Subject: RE: BS: How fast do you drivel? From: Rapparee I have a big piece of pipe in the back yard, the mast for one of those old, huge satellite TV antennae. Other day a wood pecker was beating away at it. I don't think he'll reproduce.... |

12 Jun 07 - 10:53 PM (#2075402) Subject: RE: BS: How fast do you drivel? From: Bee-dubya-ell That type of woodpecker behavior is called "drumming". It's not pecking for food, but pecking to show off. The idea is to make lots of noise and sound cool to woodpeckers of the opposite sex. Canister-type electrical transformers are quite popular among sonically adventurous peckers. You should be pleased that a woodpecker thinks your TV mast has a pleasing resonance. |

From: Scoville My maternal grandfather once told my mother that my dad's epitaph should be, "He never used a sentence when a paragraph would do." Man, can my dad talk. He's brilliant, but I would say he can give anyone a run for their money in the driveling department. |
