Marty scored very heavily with me with that quote. It was clever of him to
think of it.

Vino is always the best provided it does not give you a headache or worse. I
had to search for quite a spell until I found a vino which did not give me a
headache. It turned out to be the cheapest vino in the local municipal
liquor store, a Livingston Cellars Red Rose. It is a semi-dry, the only way
to go.

I hope all you Aussies know when I am being serious and when I am not being
serious. However, sometimes I don't know myself whether I am being serious
or not. I just say whatever pops into my head and let the chips fall where
they may. I do find you Aussies much more forgiving of my escapades than I
do the English. It may be that there is such a thing as national
temperaments.

Now you have touched a very tender spot. My sentences always work because I
see to it that they do. The above sentence was connected to something that
Dave had said about you in a previous post in this thread concerning a trip
of his to London where he mentioned you. If you had read it in that context
(a discussion of names) it would have made perfect sense to you. I can think
of you as a name and nothing else if I so choose.

Well, for heaven's sake, if you like someone than you must admire them. If
not, then you need to rethink your likes.

The Nobel Prize is vastly overrated. But in any event, great scientists are
few and far between. Neither you nor I qualify I am sure.

However, there is no point in praising scientists overly much. After all,
the progress of science does not depend on any individual. If Edison had
never lived, everything he invented would have been invented anyway. If
Einstein had never lived , his theories would have been discovered anyway.
That is equally true of all science and technology. These are the
achievements of society (Western Civilization) par excellence, not of
individuals. Once science had been set in motion, it was on a one way track
to progress irrespective of individuals.

Ummm Eds less off his tree than usual here. Nothing wrong with Tamyka,
(or her name) but... you know when you see kids called ohhh Sunsetrose
to name one.. and plenty far more odd than that.. you do have to wonder
what the parents were drinking

My evil ex Jennene. ( The mug copper from hell) was supposed to be
called Janine..but her dad was ****** when he filled out the forms. Mind
you that name works but I guess thats how the weird name syndrome thingy
happens.

Shakespere quotes and poetry always welcome ... sorry Ed... but at least
I am drinking wine at the moment. (ran out of beer)

So just describe her as "My ex Jennene". Honestly - how long can your

Gee Ed, I thought that, given your great disregard for the world's major
religions, you would not appreciate the name Sara.

Don't the two of you have email for this purpose? It is embarrassing for a
pilgrim like myself to stumble across this kind of personal correspondence.
The least you might do is to eliminate ARBR from the newsgroup heading.
After all, we here on ARBR are gentlemen and scholars. Please, have some

Oh ye of the capital T, I wonder who has the bigger ego, you or me. I would
never sign myself just E, but that is because I have a brain in my head and
have not wasted my life studying the minutiae of science like you have. Nor
have I run myself ragged in those stupid triathlons that you just love to
crow about. Scribble, scribble scribble! As if anyone is ever going to read
anything you have ever written.

As for Sara and religion, Hells Bells, practically all the names in
Christendom come out of the Bible. You have to have a name like Judas or
Jesus before anyone questions it. But nevertheless, I am very much opposed
to Old Testament names being used these days. Names like Joshua and Jacob
and Abraham for instance. There is such a thing as running current with your
culture and odd and unusual names are the opposite of that.

Tamyka, I recommend that you change your name to something more sensible.
After all, you are a human and not a cat or a parrot. I don't blame you for
your name, but I do blame your parents. They played a cruel joke on you.
They must have been sadists.

Tamyka Bell tells me that you have a sense of humor and that is how I should
have taken your above post. But we both know better, don't we. However, on
reflection I have decided to give your post the answer that it doesn't
deserve. Just another occasion for me to wax poetic. Tamyka, being a poet
and a scholar, will surely appreciate my words of wisdom.

It has always amazed me all of my life who it is that women date and most
especially who it is that they end up married to. That is what has led me to
believe that women are essentially brainless. They will go every time for
men who are basically slobs - crude and stupid. I for instance am not only
extremely handsome, but also extremely intelligent as anyone can plainly see
who can read my words. My charm is not on the surface, but goes much deeper
than that. Yes, I am a bit cranky at times, but so are all great souls. We
Great Ones do not suffer fools gladly. Yet, for some strange reason, women
are not attracted to me. It is one of the supreme mysteries of the universe.
By rights, they should be falling at my feet and worshipping the ground I
walk on. Where did I go amiss?

Now that I am going to be departing this veil of woes for oblivion in the
not too distant future, I bid farewell to the fair sex for all eternity.
They have forever remained a mystery to me. I can only conclude that they
were not worthy of me. Well, it has been their loss. If only women had the
intelligence of men, but apparently nature did not want it that way. Nature
wanted women to be dumkopfs and blockheads when it comes to choosing men. So
be it. Thus spake Zarathustra.
