to want to go back to the time when men were REAL men...

[ElizabethBathory]

women were REAL women...

and small, furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were REAL small, furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

I've just made myself a cup of some thing almost but not completely unlike tea.

I wonder if the collected postings of all individual Mumsnetters centring on this forum, like neurons in a brian, actually means this forum is now a sentient being in it's own right?

Would Mumsnet pass the Turing test?

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing noise they make as they go past.

Ok, I have either stepped into a parallel universe, got mixed up with the heroin thread, or something just as weird.
WTF are you all on? I don't understand one post

I think I'm a sofa

Described by Eccentrica Gallumbits, the triple-breasted whore of Eroticon Six, as "The best bang since the big one!"

You have been diverted...

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Like having your brains smashed in with a slice of lemon wrapped around a gold brick.

MurderOfGoths That's the best collective noun use in a username ever.

Just to carry on with the spirit of the thread...

It may disturb you. It scares the willies out of me

Oh no, not again..

Normality is restored, any problems you still have are therefore your own.

If we're going back to the I'll need my peril sensitive sunglasses

This thread has enough improbability to take us to Rickmansworth. And play cricket. With a pig.

What’s this thing suddenly coming towards me very fast? Very very fast. So big and flat and round, it needs a big wide sounding name like … ow … ound … round … ground! That’s it! That’s a good name – ground!

I wonder if it will be friends with me?

Ah! This is obviously some strange use of the word "safe" that I wasn't previously aware of

whilst reading about more mistakes by God, and Who is this God Anyway?

But in a Mostly Harmless way..

Something marvellous Pan.

"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."

Wrong book, but still...

I went mad for a while, did me no end of good.

Very true Five, very true. Passing on good advice is best, as you'll have no use for it yourself...

Drink up. The world's about to end.

and stop passing round those pieces of green paper to be happy - they aren't the things that are unhappy. < clumsy>

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen it to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

I won't enjoy it.

I'm so hip I can't see over my pelvis. I'm so cool you could keep a side of beef in me for a week....
