"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

A little sadist joke is funny at times.  But one has to know not to go to far.  Even then, some people will find that joke offensive.  Now given the present situations regarding Islam and Muslims (ie everyone thinks Islam is something to do with terrorism, which it isn't) then it would be advisable to lay off the Islamic jokes.

Well the idea of someone who was an item of clothing at one point being attacked by fighter jets is quite a funny one. :p

NASA officials searching for remnants of the space shuttle columbia found the black box early this morning.  While flight logs and telemtry data are still being analysed, it is believed that the cause of the crash has already been found after analysists heard the last moments of audio tranmissions recorded...  "Go on, let her have a drive.  What harm can it do?"

One of the searchers found a mangled penis hanging in a tree the other day, not far from a piece of columbia debris.  After extensive scientific analysis, NASA officials have concluded that is must be a shuttlecock.

sar-casm (sär'kaz uhm)  n.
                  1.  harsh or bitter derision or irony.
                  2.  a sharply ironical taunt; sneering or
                       cutting remark.

"Yes, but Astronauts don't wear turbans," is not sarcasm.

Aw, sure it was, and hilarious stuff, too.









Well, it kinda sorta makes sense in retrospect, at least. Still, seems two steps away from stoner humor.

2 things:

1. Congratulations Sandwich, I just lost all respect I held for you; some things aren't meant to be joked about.  You don't see us making jokes about suicide bombings in Israel do you?  Your comment was crude, harsh, and damn inappropriate.

2. Space shuttles don't have black boxes, it'd help when you're making jokes if you knew what you were talking about.
