What do you think they do with all those arrows though????

pholy · 08-15-2009, 08:55 PM

Wouldn't they put them on their arrow-shelf? That's what I do with the books I like.

ShortNCuddlyAm · 08-15-2009, 10:04 PM

What about the ones they don't like though?

The chronophage ate it.

The missing quote of the day ......

"In completing the unit the student has demonstrated the ability to walk to the local bus stop" - Using public transport (unit 1), by exam board AQA

Bobby McHale, 15, is the proud owner of a certificate, earned by successfully catching a bus. As well as walking to the bus stop, the curriculum required candidates to "wait for the arrival of a public bus... enter the bus in a calm and safe manner... sit on the bus and observe through the windows..." Bobby's younger brother failed.

oh! the excitement for the youth of today .....

i don't know whether to weep or cry.....

Time is an illusion. Didn't you read Parminides?

I'm not sure which is worse - there being an exam for catching a bus, or that some-one could fail it!

And lunch time doubly so - not read Parminides, have read Adams (Douglas)...

From Wikipedia, Parminides entry: "In The Way of Truth (a part of the poem), he explains how reality is one, change is impossible, and existence is timeless, uniform, and unchanging."

...

Time taken trying to find and destroy chronophages is indicative of a chronophagic infection. The attempted cure is actually a symptom.

Cheers,
