The most sensible and succinct post on the subject so far. Well said Sir. (guessing the Sir bit.)

I'll then start looking for the Daphne Boson, she has to be pretty close by.

The poor go to church not to get god but to "GET WARM" cos that's where most of them are, and a bit of singing doesn't do any harm either!

Surely the females are, rightly, termed asstronauts, it's the males that are wrongly named......they should be Dickonauts! No!....OK never mind.

without mankind trying to wipe them out......there must have been a shitload of those big bastards wandering around happily eating grass and leaves, shitting and farting all day......what effect did all the farts have on the climate? The noise and smell must have been awesome. Maybe fartification wiped them out!

Be more specific. With a Cucumber? Broom Handle? Butternut Squash? Live Squid? What?

Pineapple should do the job.

Just when I thought Iran was the safest place to stash my money now THIS happens? Where should I go next? Somalia?

No!!!No, No, No!

Nigeria is the country where your money is safest. Here's what you do: Send the money to me personally and I will place it with all the other money I have for distribution on behalf of "Lotto"winners", "Deceased Estate Distribution A/C's" etc, you money is safe with me as I am a very honourable person, do this quickly before someone tries to cheat you out of all your money!

This is not like finding the Higgs Boson

That's just the bong talking man.

Nope: if it was the bong talking he would be looking for the Hoggs Bison, and that's one huge mass of "Dark matter".

then you wouldn't egg on someone to commit suicide, precisely because you *don't* know if they're serious or not.

By the same token how did the "committer" know the "egger" was serious.... or not?

I'm sure you will see posts soon like "My grandpa uses (a) Linux (PC i set up for him, which he turns on once a month, and he doesn't know the difference)!"

  I am a Grandpa and my Son set up my old machine with Linux, which I now never turn on as it fucks up my blood pressure. At my age I don't have time to work out how to do shit like that...can spend that time working out how to catch grannies! (Bought another old machine with XP on it and works fine for me!)

Sure, DARPA is mainly about weapons, but this would have been a great opportunity for Mitch to suggest and perhaps even influence the development of non-violent weapons and other defense-related research.

Sorry...but I'm a bit confused about "non-violent weapons" bit. Could you point me in the right direction here, Taa.

porn, Facebook, both the same thing in this context.!!!

How dare you equate porn with Farcebook, and not give it a capital either!!! Porn is far more entertaining, and for those of us over 70, far more useful too!

Dear Person, go and listen to Victor Borge on U Tube and learn what a true "inflationary language"sounds like. He invented it.

Do you enjoy the taste of Ass Burgers?

Not on topic but.... can you eat a syndrome?

So the USA is a third the size, with a third the population, but they are more than 3x richer ...the real issue

OK, how bout we send you 2 thirds of the people here, that should even things up for a while!
