OK, I am EXTREMELY curious now......

[stilltrucking]

I am a little confused to, Yabyum such a aplus poet so I give him my best shot, it is all so random, I am sure there is a universe some where that fate does not matter. see below
it beats me but if was say responding from one of those Nigerian oil scam emails, "I would answer ok, but only if you promise to keep the matter confidential."

Arcadia unless you have read Mostly Harmless, by Douglas Adams, he says it so well, just a arbitrary set of rules that don't matter, that about then i forgot the rest something about fine particles of iron on a sheet of paper that has been written on and a magnet

and my my minds a joke it must have been a mini stroke

Yabyum:
ok.
your four footed friend with the weapon in hand
a magic dragon
and see above about arbitrary rules

dam I did know you was going to give me a pop quiz to day, I would had time to study on it.

did I leave anything out?

hi, still-t!. I don´t have any idea of what you are talking about.

I knew I had lost it, sorry. Here is the bit I was talking about.

From Mostly Harmless

"I know that astrology isn't a science," said Gail. "Of course it isn't. It's just an arbitrary set of rules like chess or tennis or -- what's that strange thing you British play?"

"Er, cricket? Self-loathing?"

"Parlimentary democracy. The rules just kind of got there. They don't make any kind of sense except in terms of themselves. But when you start to exercise those rules, all sorts of processes start to happen and you start to find out all sorts of stuff about people. in astrology the rules happen to be about stars and planets, but they could be about ducks and drakes for all the difference it would make. It's just a way of thinking about a problem that lets the shape of the problem begin to emerge. The more rules, the tinier the rules, the more arbitrary they are, the better. It's like throwing a handful of fine graphite dust on a piece of paper to see where the indentations are. It lets you see the words that were written on the piece of paper above it that's now been taken away and hidden. The graphite's not important. It's just the means of revealing their indentations. So you see, astrology's nothing to do with astronomy. It's just to do with people thinking about people.

Here is the link to where I found the quote looks pretty interesting

I think I'm the year of the rat, I can't remember

Astrology? Astronomy? Which is which....?
The star sign stuff confuses me, I believe it when I'm feeling low and it sounds like my life. But to be honest deep down I think that I think it's all a bit far fetched. I mean how can you tell all that stuff from when you were born? People are too different.

I know this is weird but I wonder if any one ever read their horoscope and it said: you are going to die today.



Douglas Adams has a great bit about astrology in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. "This was to be the last day of Gordon’ Way’s life his horoscope had mentioned that he should differentiate between work and personal, needs are, and you should discuss financial requirements with family But it had inexplicitly failed to mention he would be dead before the day was over." (paraphrase from memory)

Having a senior moment and I can't remember all of it except it is funny .

i never felt like the deal was sealed until it was consumated

but when she asked me, standing in front of picasso's don quixite, "do ya wanna ride a buffalo?" i felt like something was up.

don't even know if the astrology thing came yup, certainly not the chineze version, in fact, maybe with my wife, but heavens,

at work we do it a lot, the birthday club and all, something i do to get along, like, what do you say to a republickin gemeni? at least we have something in common, beyond her deluded brainwashed zombie mind? guess not.

but then am also the boar.
