Our hero stands with sword in one hand and pen in the other, defiantly facing the Evil One's glare. Shall wisdom prevail?

God had just conceded the irony of it all. Since He did not have a creator, naturally, He thought of Himself as an Atheist.

Re: Announcing the Weekly Tw(itter)-(Dr)abble Contest!
Wikipedia on cephalopods said eight (I checked). Premise being that Norm likes 'em so much because he's their ultimate tool.

When I woke up with a feather on my arm, I knew I'd dreamt of flying. That was awesome. Waking up with dog bites? Not so cool.

Garbage in...
What is comp-ost? It's decaying stuff -- often manure.
Contrast with the Windows comp-uter and its similar end result.
Can you tell that, like Norm, I'm having extra computer and IT problems?

It' don't matter. Norm's a piker compared to Bruce Schneier with his weekly squid posts (and more).ROU Killing Time wrote:I can't believe you just called Norm a tool.strawman wrote:Wikipedia on cephalopods said eight (I checked). Premise being that Norm likes 'em so much because he's their ultimate tool.
Bruce also knows the correct number of tentacles a squid has (it ain't eight) -- plus how some folks call most of 'em "arms".


Re: Announcing the Weekly Tw(itter)-(Dr)abble Contest!
Okay, I checked the octopi, not the squid. Octopi means "eight pi's". Pi is the ratio of the diameter to the circumference of a circle (the head of the octopus).
My case for Norm being a squid apparently requires more than 100 characters. However, if you want to have some fun, you might keep this possibility in mind while listening to the next episode. If you wake up with sucker marks on your arms, call me.

Re: Announcing the Weekly Tw(itter)-(Dr)abble Contest!
Yeah, "apparently" because you're the only one who can't see it?
Nope. Doesn't count. That's strictly between you and the Gypsies.

Thanks, that's exactly the feel I was going for. So let's call that one: The Telltale Odor, Part 2ROU Killing Time wrote:"The Telltale Odor." By Edgar Alan JebiTheJebi wrote:The stinking corpse of the man I murdered sits mockingly before me. I know he's not really here. My nose knows otherwise.

The Telltale Odor, Part 1
The stench from beneath my floorboards grew unbearable. I had buried the body deep, although not deep enough to forget.
