Speaking of this, and of misleading advertising (which you also mentioned),
see the back cover of this week's TIME magazine.  One of our 3 favorite
American car manufacturers has a graph showing what percentage of their
trucks, sold in the last 10 years, are still on the road.  It's like this:

          xxxxx
          xxxxx        xxxxx   
          xxxxx        xxxxx
          xxxxx        xxxxx      xxxxx
          xxxxx        xxxxx      xxxxx        xxxx

           Ours       Brand X    Brand Y    Japanese Brand

Looks pretty impressive, until you notice that the vertical scale goes
from 95% to 100%, not 0% to 100%.  Then you notice that the numbers are
so close together that the differences probably aren't even statistically
significant.

	In one of the puzzle columns in Science(insert year here), there was a

that someone succeeded in writing a twenty-six letter sentence, and that "Cwm"
was used in a few of them.

Whatever FOAF told you this, it's possible that the F saw the episode of
_The_Flintstones_ where Fred tries to market the products "1-up", "2-up", and
so on.  He quits after making "6-up", saying it was a loony idea all along.

Some people have a difficult time distinguishing TV from reality.  It becomes
even more difficult when a FOAF tells you something as if it were real, even
though the source was something someone else saw on TV.  It's part of the
nature of ULs, like that parlor game, "telephone".  Not only does stuff get
left out, but somebody embellishes the tale with "Well, if it didn't happen
that way, it should have!" types of creative retelling.  My bet is that this
UL (if it really is one) originated in Bedrock.

Of course, it's also possible that the writers of _The_Flintstones_ had
already heard this as a UL when they wrote the show.

Yabba, dabba, do.

The correspondence between Moore and Ford is among the funniest in
literature. Unintentional of course. One of the whackball alternates
that she came up with was the Turtle Stopper...[I'm quoting from

The same anecdote, more or less, has been attached to Einstein: that he

at dinner, and when asked why he had never said anything before, replied  
"Until now everything was in order."

Since the law in most states says that having sex with a minor is
statutory rape, kiddie porn would in fact be a "rape movie," wouldn't
it?  Of course, that still leaves unanswered the bigger question of
the existence of the type of rape movies mentioned in the UL.

I tend to think of it as a simple case of 'injection locking' - a technical
term for how two oscillators, running at the same frequency, will tend to
oscillate at the same frequency given any means of coupling.  Rather than
electrical oscillators, these are hormonal, and they are coupled by
phereomones rather than electric and magnetic fields, but the idea is (IMO)
fairly similar.

Wasn't it "Ca plane pour moi," with an e on the end, and a consequently
fully pronounced n?  I don't remember what the phrase *means,* though
I think it's something like "things are all right with me."

I remember the "I am the king of the divan" line, but I don't
remember whether it was in French or English.

I heard this circa 1982 in a high school French class!  There
was also a song on the album about how we are all dogs, with the
frequently repeated line "Ouah-ouah."

The Far-Side is a US cartoon syndicated to many US newspapers.  

It is not guaranteed that every newspaper will show the same cartoon on 
the same day.

Many of us who live in those countries South of Florida don't have Far-Side
syndicated at all.  (Unfortunately    ) [Note hidden stealth not-smiley face]

Some of the people who read the net don't even live in English speaking 
countries.

So the answer is that most people haven't the faintest idea what you are 
talking about.  You didn't even say what paper it was in.

I would cry GIF GIF GIF at this point but half a dozen newbies who haven't 
read the rules would probably post one. 

Remember the net is bigger than your state,  it is even [gasp] bigger than 
your country. You thought a walk down to the corner shop was a long way but 
it's nothing compared to the size of the net.

Sigh, couple of problems here folks.
1) A faerie is much to large to stand (let alone dance) on the head of a
pin.

2) The original theological question deals with angles and the number of
which may dance on the head of a pin.

3) With the above in mind, we have several questions.
   a) Do angles dance?  Occording to some christian sects, dancing is a
sin, and 	so angles, with the possible exception of the Fallen One, would
not dance and the question is moot.
   b) If angles do dance, then does an angle have a corperal body? 
   c) If yes, then just how large is an angle?
			d) If no, then can it be reasoned that an angle is infinitely small?


Mathematicly, if the last is true, just how infinitely small is the angle? 
Is the angle so infinitely small that an infinite number of angles can
dance on the head of a pin?  Or must an infinite number of angles take up
an infinite amount of space?
