New guestbook... check out the old ones above...
You know. I haven't seen a web page like this in years. It makes me happy to see a site that is just full of STUFF and no capitolist bs. Thanx for keeping a site true to the original internet.
FYI: The Meeting is set, by executive order, for Friday night (2/18) at 7:30 in the garage... be there... The VP
So is the meeting at the V.P. garage, President's garage, or at Gandrud's????????
Answer to this week's question: If in succeeding to fail, even though failing, if the president is pleased, then succeeding to fail is a success Sec. Weights and Measures
Meeting place: VP's garage... silly question...
In response to your question of the week: An associate of mine passed on your interesting, and thought-provoking question. After 3 days of research, the answer is, suprisingly, neither, and both, and at the same. If you think in terms of quantum physics, and the up-quark, and down-quark, it is quite simple, and obvious. Thanks for letting me submit my answer for consideration. Sir Stephen Hawking, Oxford University. P.S. If I am chosen the winner, I will defer my prize the the second place winner, as travel is difficult for me. Also, you question spurred some new thoughts regarding string theory. If anything comes of it I will make sure to acknowledge your web site in any paper I may publish. Thanks, again
In response to this week's question of the week, if there were no "hypothetical situations," then everything would be based on reality. If everything was based on reality, there would be no fantasy. If there were no fantasy, I think we can all agree that it would be a very sad world indeed. (wink wink) Respectfully submitted, Ms. Dixie LaRue
Submitted by anonymous Junior Member-in-waiting...if there were no "hypothetical situations," then the FM would be present at every BBC function.
I was browsing the internet, I came across your site, and saw your question of the week. While I do not have an answer, the question reminded me of one of my father's most famous songs. I can almost hear him singing: "Imagine no hypothetical situations!!". Thanks for bringing back some fond memories. Julian Lennon
Another tricky question!! Actually, if you follow string theory to it's logical conclusion, with the ever growing number of parallel universes, there are no hypothetical situations, because in one of the universes, any situation would be possible. Finding the correct universe would be the challenge. Once Again, Respectfully Submitted Sir Steven Hawking Oxford University P.S I hope this is still within the deadline.
It is evident (and I am not speaking hypothetically) that Sir Stephen Hawking and Julian Lennon must be gay British lovers....not that there's anything wrong with that. - FM
I would like to be the first to jump in with a reply to the "Smurf-Color" question of the week. My reply...I don't know. Why don't we try choking the AG and find out?--FM
Where oh where can I or how can I obtain a woodchuck for a pet? I live in the Twin cities area of Minnesota. I just love woodchucks they are so cute!
For your information, there is a small "farmette" with a woodchuck problem right on the way out of town. Damn thing is almost overrun with those varmints. The local "husbandette" on the Woodchuck Ranch would no doubt be more than happy to help set you up with your own pet woodchuck. If you go out to the woodchuck pages you can see him as a kid with his own chuck. If you stop over at the ranch he may be in an apron doing housework. Wash, dishes and such. Just patiently wait and he'll get time to set you up. The Mayor
I don't believe you will find what you are looking for at the property formerly known as The Woodchuck Ranch. Word has it that the proprietor obtained a canine companion who, unbeknownst to the proprietor beforehand, maintains a near-fanatical carniverous obsession with slow-footed furry little creatures. The herd dwindled expediously. The remaining Woodchuck population, apparently, hightailed it to a well-known hunting preserve just a couple miles east of the city. I heard that the owner now offers guided hunts. He may be willing to donate a 'chuck or two to your cause, if you catch him on the right day and there's a potential tax break in it for him. Check out www.zumbokillsall.com for further details. Good Luck and Godspeed.-Hank Kimball. County Extension Agent.
I must say that, upon stumbling across your website and gleaning the Guestbook entries, that I am shocked and appalled regarding the attitudes displayed toward the lovely Marmota monax. I reach out to you, dear Twin Cities friend, to join us in our cause against mistreatment of our furry little friends. I am in the process of communicating within our organization the immediate need for a rally decrying and denouncing the shameless mistreatment of Woodchucks by the ownership and management of the "famed" Woodchuck Ranch, as well as Zumbo's Hunting Preserve. There will be picket lines and sit-in protests. We will hurl insults at the canine resident of the Woodchuck Ranch and drop leaflets warning all of the wildlife residents of the Zumbo Evil Empire to disperse and seek shelter. We will not rest until we are assured of the safety of our furry friends.-yours in solidarity, Libby Furmore, Director, PETA, Berkely, California, USA.
Hey Libby: I got two words for ya..."Bite Me." Sincerely, The FM's Dog.
To the Curtamous page webmaster: First of all, I am quite honored to have been bestowed a nickname on your webpage. It has been quite a while(since my days in boarding school) since anyone has referred to me as Hawk. Given my current condition, and reputation as a thinker, it is not very likely anyone else will refer to me with that name. Second, I was not able to think of your question in terms of string theory, so I will not have an answer this week. I look forward to next week's question. Third, in reference to your words to the junior members, the speed of time is NOT one second per second!!(relatively speaking, of course). I refer you to Brian Greene's wonderful book, "The Elegant Universe", and his thought experiment using a photon clock for better clarification. Until next week. Sincerely Sir Stephen (Hawk) Hawking
a few words from the PRESIDENT FIRST OFF to the FM,S dogs reply, bravo, well done. He deserves a SCOOBY snack. Second, a word to sire steephen hawking[remamed theseagull because we all like seagulls so much] your referance to RED GREENS book THE ELEPHANT UNIVERSE, there is no N in photo[I checked in my FUNK @ wagno 1st addition] therfore you must be talking about a photo clock which clears up everything, thank you so very much. THIRD in regard to the SMURF question, if chock a smurf and take a picture with black @ white film the color is inconclussive?. FOURTH my theory on the KEEP OFF THE GRASS is the same varmint that keeps moving the hole on the greens, or it could be a drug rehab center trying to get its point across.
I would like a clarification on this weeks question of the week. When you say whales, are you referring to the marine mammals, or the Sec. Weights and Measures former girlfriends? FDA Cahir
Hmmm... Good question! I would say the "intent" of the question was the marine mammals, based on the "swimming" tie in... however, if the SEC-W/M had former girlfriends that indeed did float, I can see the confusion...
Dear Curtamous: I asked my Master what he thought about the question of the week, and he gave me an immediate answer although I am not quite sure what he meant. When I asked him "How young can you die of old Age?" He said it would have to be "the day after you get married". Maybe Dixie could give me some insight on the meaning of his response as I am rather perplexed on the entire issue. Sincerely, Trixie LaDouche
