    lol@Nikkiee…
    now there’s a thought for some consideration but I can’t say I’m too keen on exploring the Russian adventure. All that Cossack dancing after liberal consumption of 80% proof vodka…. well, they just might forget themselves ‘in the nest,’ so to speak? Perhaps a mild mannered…. hmmmm, this is going to require substantially more consideration than first acknowledged.
    .
    Ok, freshly showered, doffing my ‘international law’ hat for today, who needs it much as less takes any notice of my pearls of wisdom? Cracking open the first wee bottle….ahhh. Enjoy your water, Nikkiee ;) I will ponder the husband importation alone until such a time as you are ’suitably hydrated,’ and can join me in this quest. I bet we could find the odd willing and able toy boy….
    .
    Slurp, slurp….ahhhh…..tis good, no? :))

    specifically @ alche.
    (In an epiphany of genuine philanthropism, TAW realizing the shortage of lizards in tykeland gathers up all the scurrying skinks, replete with buttons, in her back garden and wraps them lovingly in her tin-foil hat. Places package in Tupperware container (where is the **** lid…) and dispatches them, snail mail to Alche.)
    .
    I inquired about skink mail but was met with blank stares and then a string of rather acrimonious invective, Polish I think? It appeared the postmistress was having less than a perfect day, silly old cow. I bet she is single-handedly destabilizing the tropospheric ozone from behind that counter as we speak; certainly that resonant rumbling wasn’t from the air-conditioning unit!

    I really need to stop going away for a few days at a time, damn projects, since TAW asked, I’m doing aeronautical eng, so if you suddenly develop a fear of flying in a few years…

    @storm… lol….and let that be a lesson to you!
    .
    Fear of flying? Forgive the ingenue in me but isn’t that why they serve a never ending supply of alcohol on flights, or could there be another, less transparent reason? Just keep me posted on which particular aircraft you’ve had some input , however insignificant this may seem at the time. Serial numbers and all identifying marks, please.
    .
    Little requirement for the bunson burner then? What a drag but trust your eyebrows will be eternally grateful. :)

    I have promised pretty much everyone who knows me here to put a easily visible identifying mark on any plane I have a hand in designing, haven’t decided on it yet though, but when I do, I’ll be sure to warn you ;>
    .
    A group of us were flying from Cork to Luton a couple of years ago and one of the guys was afraid of flying, it being a short flight, he went over sober, on the way back we were all in the bar for a while before the flight…he was drunk before we got on the plane and then wanted a window seat so he could see everything, but got on too late for that.
    Soooo he sat beside one of the other girls who was beside a window seat, and kept jumping around trying to look out, I was the other side of him and thought it was hilarious, she didn’t find it quite so amusing

    I really can’t understand why? One more indication of another dispossessed of their sense of humour! Who took all the smiles away? lol

Purchase the Gospel

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
