But you'd be living among THE FRENCH! And Our Leader has shown them up for what they are! You'd be eating nothing but snails and fren...freedom...fries! And you can't drink the water so you'd be drinking wine all the time, even bathing in it! And they got these funny toilets there that are part toilet and part drinking fountain!

I know these things because not only have I experienced them personally but I listen to Our Leader.

A beastly habit, that, mon vieux. I am practicing my French. I have been invited to move to the wilds of Normandy and live in a chateau. I am seriously thinking about it. I think MOAB has your number, Rapaire. 666 to the 6th. 8.72661E+16. Or, to put it another way, 87,266,061,345,623,600.

I'll never trust anyone ever again. I won't believe anything every again. Except what the President says, because you can't be President if you don't tell the truth. George Washington and Abe Lincold both showed that. And the Pope. You gotta belief what the Pope says because he's infallible. And maybe Amos. But that's it, except for my wife and my mother and any other mother, because if you can't believe some mother who can you believe? And politicians. You gotta believe politicians, too. And anyone who plays a banjo because a banjo is a sign of veracity.

I see. Well, I seem to be more toward the Mac-type then...but I am using Windows here. Can that create a conflict in interest? Should a Mac-type get involved with a Windows type? Is it safe to throw Macs out of Windows?

I've got a Unix-type body: old, creaky, but still works well -- and both the Mac types and the Windows types derive from it.

It depends on whether you have a MAc-type or a Windows-type body. They are grown from different strains of meat-virus in the Cosmic Archetypes and Research Labs on Spicus IV. The Mac types tend to stay lean, be self-healing, resist viruses and colds, and not bloat. The Windows type bodies tend toward various degrees of excess weight, aesthetic offenses, or logical compromises of one sort or another, and need constant handling. Sometimes the shortcomings are buried deep within the CNS pathways. And there are dramatic exceptions, of course.

It turned up in a new IE browser window. Must have been a glitch.

Browser windows I'm not short of--I think I have four right now. IE, Netscape, Firefox and Opera. Don't use Opera and Netscape much, but I should compare. For some reason IE shows MOAB as two lines on the screen, and until I imported all of my IE settings into Firefox it showed it only once. So there is some IE glitch I have to figure out.

Yeah, that's what Larry called it: waxing his board. We'd say, "Did you have a good time last night?" and Larry would answer with a wink, "Waxed my board, heh heh." Once a California Girl dropped by to see him while he was "waxing his board." She was so disgusted that she'd simply turn pale whenever she saw Larry and would NEVER talk about what she'd seen.

Eventually, I understand that she took a vow of perpetual silence and joined a clystered nunnery, the Sisters of the Holy Shit!.

Electile dysfunction is a serious problem here in the US, no mistake.

But getting elections more often, if the fundamental process is not healthy and working well, just exacerbates the situation and its concomitant frrstrations.

Besides, I never really believed in the electron. What we consider electrons is actually just the absence of positrons, just as photons are the absence of darkons.

In other news, I commend to your attention a NEW interpretation of the universe as a sort of noodle soup:

"An Important Matter

A 25-year-old experiment is turning everything we know about matter upside down, and may even have demonstrated an example of an entirely new state of matter. The US researchers have dubbed this new state "string-net liquid', and even speculate that the entire universe could be made of it. Others may even have found a candidate for such a material: a dark green crystal called "herbertsmithite", found in the mountains of Chile in 1972".

The details are here and I urge you to understand them. Not that I do. But I think this could be important, you see. An opportunity to be skeptical about electrons doesn't come around every day, after all..


And JUST for my ole cyberpal BWL, this spicy discovery:

"FOR a century, they have been on display in the Louvre museum in Paris, labelled as Canopic jars holding the embalmed innards of the great Egyptian pharaoh Rameses II. But the four pots, covered in hieroglyphs, are not what they seem.

An analysis by French chemists has revealed that the jars in fact contain ordinary cosmetics, produced at a much later date.

The blue jars arrived in the Louvre in 1905. They carry the name of Rameses II, and seemed to contain embalmed organs, including a trace of what appeared to be heart tissue. Yet Rameses's actual mummy still has its heart - the one organ ancient Egyptians left inside mummies so it could be weighed in the afterlife by the god Thoth. "The jars look like the pots of unguents found in King Tut's tomb, among others, not like other Canopic jars," says Jacques Connan of the University of Strasbourg, France.

With the Louvre's permission, Connan's team sampled traces of material in the pots, and analysed them using mass spectrometry and chromatography techniques used in the petroleum industry to identify complex organic mixes.They found no evidence of beeswax, bitumen or other materials Connan says were common in Egyptian embalming. Instead, the ratio of non-radioactive isotopes of carbon was typical of animal fats, while the fatty acids matched pig fat."

Hahaha!! The revered cremains of the Great Pharaoh turn out to be Maybelinne pig-fat!! Ha! Ha ha!!

But the pots are something ole BWL would know about.
