Brummie and RubyTuesday:
You hit the hammer right on the head. The doctor is his mother.
has anyone ever heard this riddle?
it's been around a while, and it goes like this - a surgeon, named mr. william jennings, decided one day to take his six-year-old son for ride in the family car to buy some ice cream.
tragically dr. jennings' automobile was broad-sided by another car travelling at a very high rate of speed.

Has anyone ever heard this riddle?

Tragically Dr. Jennings' automobile was broad-sided by another car travelling at a very high rate of speed. As result, Mr. Jennings was killed on the spot; he was pronounced "dead on arrival" at the hospital. However, the little boy - thanks to his seatbelt and shoulder strap - survived the accident and was taken to the emergency operating room for life-saving surgery. As the little boy was being put on the operating table, the operating surgeon comes in, looks in shock at the little boy, and yells out: "I cannot operate on this child!! He is my son!" Explain how this could be.
the concept of life on other planets really fascinates me.
the thought of intelligent life even more so.
so, whenever i read headline.
Dear Spanner:
You say that you have heard that it is impossible to accept the concept of extra-terrestrial life and still believe in God. Well, pray tell, I want to ask what does belief (or non-belief) in one have to do with belief (or non-belief) in the other? As far as I know the Bible is wholly silent on whether we share the universe with other sapient creatures or not. I do know that traditionally the Catholic church was against the notion of life on other planets. I have read a very interesting treatise on this very subject by an eighteenth-century French writer named Fontenelle. He wrote on the the "plurality of worlds" - "Entretien sur la pluralite des mondes." The church was against this treatise; it claimed that Christ's sacrifice was a one-time-only deal that could never be repeated. However, as regards what the Bible says it must be admitted that the scriptures are silent on the matter. Moreover, I don't accept the Church's thinking on the matter. Anyway, I'm just curious as to what argument could be used to show that the belief in God is mutaully exclusive with belief in extra-terrestrial life.
Cheers
ok guys, (simon probably won't like this thread) what's the worst thing you did as a kid to a defenseless animal?
me, i liked to throw rocks at frogs.
my mom was so mad when she saw me..... the girls are gonna be pissed..... rotfl
Trou de cul:
You ask me how many hours I needed to go through a dictionary to find out what "that" (your nic?) means. Well, by your question, I see that you are one stupid piece of shit in addition to being a sadistic coward who gets his rocks off torturing frogs. When I said that I could put a few sentences together "en francais," that means that I speak French. In fact, I am a professor of French and I lived two years in France. Therefore I immediately recognized what your nickname means; I needed no dictionary. My only question to you is: "Why in hell do you call yourself 'asshole'? Then again, I imagine someone who tortures small defenseless animals cannot have a very positive self-image. In other words, you're a sad, dementic fucker and you *know* it!! Alors, espece de con, vas te faire enculer. Tu n'es rien qu'un salaud! Et c'est une putain, ta mere!

Trou-de-cul:
The act of torturing animals - performed at *any* age, by *anyone* of either gender - is a nauseating example of sadistic cowardice in its most debased and craven form. It is certainly no more a rite of passage than are murder and rape of one's fellow human beings. Animals are sentient creatures that suffer pain as accutely, or even more accutely, than humans.

That's an interesting nickname you have, trou-cul. As a matter of fact, I can put a few sentences together "en francais." So, let's see...I know that "trou" is the French word for "hole," and that "cul" means "ass" (in the anatomical sense of rump or buttocks). So, do really mean to say that your nickname is actually "trou de cul" = "asshole"? If so, then I must admit that it's quite an appropriate nickname for such a sick little dipfuck such as yourself. In your opinion, torturing animals is just a boyish "rite de passage"? Did it ever occur to you that the next logical step in this progression may well be the torturing and killing of one's fellow humans? I guess those two little scamps - Ed Gein (rhymes with "mean") and Jeffery Daihmler - were just engaging in a little "rite de passage," huh? You sick fuck. If I ever catch you, or anyone else, torturing an animal, I'll be sure to tear you a second "trou-de-cul."

Dear Spanner:
Regarding the word "copasetic," I went to the best search engine - Google.com - and typed in "etymology of the word copasetic." It came back with a slew of interesting information. However, when "boiled down" to its essential core, we get the same info: namely that scholars are unable to definitively provide a true etymology. This word is of highly disputed origin. Some say it comes from Harlem gangster slang via Italian. Others say it is of Louisiana Cajun origin. While still others say it comes from Hebrew. Moreover, there are many different ways of spelling this word. Anyway, if you are interested, go to Google.com and type "etymology of the word copasetic." You should get about two pages worth of websites.
Cheers.

Dear Spanner:
Being highly interested in morphology and etymology myself, I consulted a 1969 desk-top edition of the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language. According to my dictionary, the origin of this strange word is unknown. Moreover, according to this same dictionary, this word has three variant spellings - "copasetic"; "coposetic"; and "copesetic." It's interesting that my dictionary offers three variant spellings of the same word. I'm going to check my much larger Webster's Third International Dictionary, and maybe I'll do some on-line research.

Dear Spanner:
The word "copasetic" is not used very often. In fact, the first time that I ever heard the word was in the lyrics of a song entitled "L.A. Fade-away" by the Grateful Dead - "...But the pay was pathetic, I wish those boys could have been more copasetic." So, in this context, it could mean "generous" or "kind" or "nice." Basically, the word has a broad range of meaning and can find its gneneral equivalent in the term "cool," which - as every American knows - is the opposite of "sucks."
dear spanner:.
i was not trying to give you a logical explanation, i was trying to give you a psychological explanation while avoiding the so-called supernatural.
and often psychology is not logical; often its downright bizarre.you said that he was real, very real.
Dear Spanner:
I was not trying to give you a logical explanation, I was trying to give you a psychological explanation while avoiding the so-called supernatural. And often psychology is not logical; often its downright bizarre.You said that he was real, very real. I could not agree more. Never did I mean to imply that he was not real; he was indeed quite real. Just let me state that I very much believe that what is commonly called "reality" is nothing but a construct, a fabrication of our own mind - the universe within. So, for you, that man - that projection - was as real as the floor that you stand on. Also, let me say that I don't think that you were hallucinating as the term is commonly understood. By the way, I'm no psychologist. Actually, I'm a professor of literature. However, I do know enough about the human brain to realize that it is infinitely complex. It will many centuries - if ever - before we know all its mysteries. Meanwhile, let me reiterate and say that I reject the idea of a wholly independent reality common to all people. Each person, through their senses and experiences, constructs their own reality.
