Illuminati-R-Us

Oh, don't worry. They'll botch it when the time comes.

Although they DID beat Fuerth the day before yesterday

That's really strange. True, I am an unassuming user - I sort my e-mails into folders like "Private", "Professional", "Kindergarten", etc.. Otherwise, not much differentiation. But still, it is as if you were describing a totally different software. Whatever I did worke...

It's so good to see that no single religion has a monopoly on producing the most laughable nonsense.

No no, thread was what I meant. However, the degree of seriousness is debatable.

concessum, non oblitum.

KLA2, I don't know Dada as a person. I was referring to Dadaism. That any help?

Ever heard of Dada?

That is just appealing.

I think this thread has a lot of original artwork in it!

Never let facts stand in the way of a good prejudice.

I was thinking along the same lines, KLA2 - I even wrote a post to that effect, but I erased it just before submitting because I realized that the 105 users were the most users at any one time, while the statistic you cite gives the cumulative number of users over the current day.

Same with me, see USA! USA! thread. :D

Ah, I see your point.

Very hard to beat.

What do you mean by that? AFAIK the N. Korean military is anything but a carnival puppet show. Aren't the South Koreans pretty scared of them (with or without the Bomb)?

I really didn't want to downplay the importance of being curious and creative in the sciences. My point was that I am convinced that if something is real, better and better evidence of it will eventually be forthcoming, and it will make itself known. The UFO/ET stuff may have had some marginal credi...

Hey, you been on Spring break recently?

Don't exaggerate. Being stuck at an East block border was/is an unpleasant experience, but there is a certain (as Mactep said) Kafkaesque orderliness about it. Mostly, it is just boring and unfreiendly. And entering the US as a furrne, lemme tell ya, can be quite unpleasant and kafkaesque, too.

I don't count myself in that number. WRT "extraordinary things", I am as cold a fish as can be. Reality has the uncanny knack of making itself known beyond belief.

I think the gift shop makes for great satirical gifts. My parents had friends who had a Soviet constitution hanging in the guests' restroom. I once read a travel report about North Korea in my preferred quality newspaper . The writer actually recommended to take the trip. Food was plentiful though n...

The big writing you see at the right of the billboard is a Russian transliteration of Joe ("Dsho") Cocker ("Koker") - who happens to be the elderly gentlemen whose picture we can see at the left of the billboard. You see? Joe Cocker - as an old fart - being announced - in Russian...

"Dark side" sounds so sincere. Gives our Bullshit Bill too much credit, really.

This guy is flat as piecoe of paper. And the colour on it is brown.

I LOVE transliterations!

There was a case locally where... And let me add that the death penalty in the hands of a very faulty justice system like that in the US is a very, very loose cannon. It doesn't modify my being against the death penalty. It sure reinforces my notion that the US is performing terribly under par cult...

No acrid rebuttals from me. You see, a true tree-hugger hugs everyone who disagrees wih him, too. I am against the death penalty on principle (or is that "out of principle"?), and that needed saying. The particulars of any specific case are of no interest to that opinion; however, the case...

OK, let's say she was "er weng schlicht" (a bit simple), as we say in Franconia. My use of the terminology was less circumspect than you would expect from a professional, so, sorry. I stand by my judgement that executing this particular person makes the US's handling of the death penalty m...
