I keep poking my nose in, to read and maybe comment on the one or two threads that are worth the time. It is suffering the general usenet malaise, though.

Besides, if I deal with usenet too much these days, I get nostalgic for the early 90s. Which is bad all around.

It doesn't work that way, unfortunately, which is why happens in the November election will come as such a surprise to me.

I will also fail to predict that Stephen Harper will turn out to be an escaped Supermarionation puppet turned evil.

I think that pun is retrocausally responsible for my conjunctivitis.

And if your ARC-laden box goes missing at the post office, then is stolen by burglars in the middle of the night...they will be indicted as "Raiders of the Lost ARC." Of course.

And obviously, the reason that a certain Biblical boatbuilder appeared to have foreknowledge of the Flood was that he had read Noah's ARC (of Genesis).
