Title: OT - Anyone hear about the Miami port closing a few days ago?
Post by: Sandwich on August 16, 2002, 09:34:57 am
About 5 days ago, IIRC...

I gotta go for the evening, but I'll tell you all _why_ it closed down when I get back. ;7

Probably a fear of anvil-wielding elephants. I sure would not want to be near a herd of those things.

LOL - you guys are nutziod! :p

Well, the story is that a family we know here (knew, actually) moved away for job reasons... their kids had visited various sites of some of the wars we've had around here - semi-recent wars, not bow-and-arrow wars. :p They found some spent tank shells and mortar rounds, and kept them as souvineers. Packed 'em in their crate being shipped back to the US, actually... and when that box went through the x-ray.... :doubt:

Needless to say, they (the port authorities) thought it was another 9/11-type thing, and so they closed the whole port down. :D

Note to self: never pack mortar rounds or tank shells in airplane luggage.

Hmmm... I don't know whether to be offended or to take that as a confirmation of my own views... ;7 :wink:

Ice: **** off man. Only Amerikans who get involved in the corporate-government system are idiots. The rest of us, the conscientious objectors from the Machine, number about 12, eight of which are pernamently stoned and all of whom are ****-poor, so our opinion doesn't have much influence.

Yeh, actually, that's pretty cool. Kinda funny, they flip for that, but my baggage never raises an eyebrow. And I've only been profiled for random search once, even in my all-black and Che shirt. I mean, really, no respect for anarchists these days!

Okay, enough already.

The exact opposite of that sentence would be saying that no one in the world isn't an idiot without the exception of me. Meaning everyone is an idiot with no exceptions.

So, there. :ha:

What I meant though, is obvious, and probably needs no explanation. I just shouldn't have said exact opposite, just opposite.

Actually, the exact opposite of any statement in every way always has the same meaning. :D Here it is for this one:

Original: I say everyone in the world is an idiot except me!

Opposite: You do not say that nobody out of the universe that is not also the world is a smart person including you!

okay, that didn't make any sense... :nervous:

That's not the opposite, you're replacing nouns by others that do not necessarily mean the exact opposite of the ones they are replacing. The opposite of a sentence, as in this case, would simply be its negation.

:D :p
