Re: Math Poem 3 by Dovina	4-Jan-05/10:01 AM
This poeme is a stain on the face of mathematics, and a stain on the bum of literature (literature has no face, because it is obscured by a giant bum). Again, it is mathematically uninteresting. On reading your defence of its simplicity, it became clear you have no idea about how mathematicians work. You say the protagonist's assertion that "for all x: x/(x/3)=3" has to be simple so as to eliminate any doubt. This is stupid for two reasons: 1. No mathematician doubts a theorem, because it is true by definition. The question is: how do we know if a mathematical assertion, e.g. "for all x: x/(x/3)=3", is a theorem? Answer: We obtain a proof of it (or a counter-example, if it is not a theorem). If we can find a proof of the assertion, how in Sodomy can you doubt it? It may be an incredibly complicated proof that only a genius would understand, but this is not true in most cases. It's also the case that a proof, if written out to a suitable degree of formalism, can be checked by a computer. It is therefore perfectly feasible for your dweeb to have come up with some interesting mathematics that was not open to doubt. 2. You shoot yourself in the bum because while the protagonist's assertion is a simple one, as a mathematician he has every reason at least to question it, since he has not obtained a proof. Note that showing an assertion holds for 1, 6, 7, log 7, and (2^(1/3))^(1/8) is not grounds for generalising to all x!

"But none could appreciate the pain That lurked behind that melancholic strain" O how often I have felt like that, as naked, lewd, and writhing, I toil o'er the pit. And in the garden, do not womenfolk and dung-cherubs behold my wails? And yet they pay but little heed. For 'tis oft' heard told, in the wooded glades of Derbyshire, that 'tis sweet and proper for an Gentleman to labour ere he casts stool. I daresay such whisperings hold little comfort for those forced to dine on rock-porridge and boiled chestnuts. O Jesu! Becalm my gnashing buttocks!

regarding some deleted poem...	8-Jan-05/6:31 PM
The Lord isn't a shepherd any more. That was ages ago, before He acquired the Golden Fleece of Ram-Naba-Ka'zaa', and spontaneously transformed into a First Level Spirit Mage +2. And what become of his flock? Well after obtaining a 2:1 in combined media studies at Loughborough University, the Lord approached various broadcasting companies throughout the UK and obtained sponsorship to develop a fleet of robotronic hobo shepherds. These autonomous hobotrons now serve all the Lord's shepherding needs, giving Him more time to concentrate on His hobbies, which include football, swimming, and designing multimedia business presentations. That was in 1997. He spent the next five years trying to apply is combined media skills commercially. After several failed attempts to market his multimedia business presentation toolkits, He now lives alone in North Derbyshire, where He has set up a small business selling acorns. -10-

I think in a very real sense, we are all pregnant with our own demises. Some get that way but bottling up their emotions and forgetting to parp, others by having unprotected sex on a daily basis. Actually most people do a combination of both, but some, like Mother Teresa, never had sex with anything, so her demise was ultimately brought about by almost a century spent bottling up emotions and forgetting to parp. When she eventually did snuff it, they tell me her parp was heard as far north as Derbyshire.

Surely Allah's tears do not need cleansing? Unless you think they become sullied when a load of Sri Lankan's live on top of them. By God you're probably right :(
Re: Bleed ,Rip and Tear by NoSage	15-Feb-05/2:06 AM
In Gethsemane, Jesu asked of the Lord (Matthew 26: 39) "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Clearly Jesu thought, on the off chance, that the Lord (who was also Jesu) may have known of a different, less grotesque method of cleansing us of our sins, and was only sending Jesu to His death more or less on a whim. Alas this was not so, but does it not portray the Bearded Carpenter during a momentary lapse into lukewarmedness? Good Christ I hope not.
Re: Little Fly by PodPoet	15-Feb-05/2:18 AM
An extraordinarily insightful poeme. Right from the opening couplet: "There used to be a little fly Who saw the world through all her eyes" I knew that whatever followed was destined to be "unbelievably profound." Clearly what the world needs is more flies, more love from above, more presents for Saddam Hussein, and more religion. Especially in the Middle East. Flawless -10-

9/11 was a tradegy for all concerned. But I think the term "boss man" contains redundancy, because all bosses are men by default. You might also consider replacing "lesser" with "female" :( -no vote-

Re: The Artist by Dreammaker1024	2-Mar-05/12:48 AM
By all accounts, Black mothers are ace. The same cannot be said of Black fathers, who seem to get a lot of bad press. "The majority of African American children live in homes without their fathers." Similar parps ring true in the Afro Carribean community in Britain. Three questions pull down their trousers and vault out of all this muss: Who is responsible? What can be done about it? And who on Earth is going to put it into action?
Re: Don't Ask, Don't Tell by PodPoet	2-Mar-05/3:39 AM
Is gayness a systemic problem in the Marines? Or are they merely blighted by a few bad eggs? The omelette that is homosexualism is rotten indeed, and like all rotten omelettes it spreads, planting new omelette seeds wherever its omelette legs may carry it. Make no mistake: omelettism is more than just a pertinent analogy, it's a fact of life. All that's left is for us to ask ourselves, "How do we stamp out a breeding omelette?" Simple. We place it in the middle of The Bible, and slam the book shut. Case closed. Omelette absorbed. -10-
