back2basics   10 #135 Posted July 16, 2007 I guess it's all subjective...like the tour de france.  No I think we can actually develop objective metrics to leverage the synergies between sciences and mans best friend.  For instance, if a dog saves a mans life, that going to score high. getting his morning paper less high, but still this is an objective show of love and respect from the dog, a sign of dear friendship, if you will.  Using this scoring system, we can attribute a "friendliness index" for all of god creatures, thus creating a scoreboard of friendliness, that may looks something as follows;  1) Octopi. 2) Dogs. 3)....... 29003902) Bears. 29002903) Cats.  Now there ill be some who rate the saving of ones life, lower than the fetching of ones paper, however likefans of the Tour of France they would be incorrect.

seriessix   10 #136 Posted July 22, 2007 Dear Sir, The other day I was wearing a new pair of slacks and decided to take a walk through the city, on my way back I noticed that the sun was just starting to rise, it's light spread a pink sheen over the bricks and concrete. Just as I reached the corner of my road I noticed a paper boy delivering what I can only imagine was more bad news through the letter boxes of my neighbors. The dawn chorus was in full swing as I walked the last few yards towards my home, then suddenly an empty feeling pervaded my soul. This sensory miasma was so overwhelming that I had to take a seat on a wall, I felt quite faint and could literally feel myself dissolving down through the gaps in the pavement.  Thanks,  Father Greg O'Donnellelly.

back2basics   10 #143 Posted July 27, 2007 I imagine myself writing like this when I have been on speed or cannibis.!!!  I fear L.S Dunone is taking something far worse than speed or cannabis. Possibly the demenita muscaria from the rain forests of Afghanistan. Or the Putasis Toad from coastal regions of Chad. Possibly even the St Paulius cactus from Iceland.  My bet is the Special brewiskus from Barnsley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
