and the Jews are very good at it (they'd have to be, being at the bottom of humanity's status heap for AGES...their great book of humour spawned three major world religions that have had a tremendous effect on humanity -- now THAT'S a good joke...)

so here are some of the ones that I've heard over time (feel free to give your own)

genties and ladlemen,

I have made this little thread for all of us who are still wondering aboot the ins and outs of posting.  Things like "How DO I bold something?", "How do I embed a video?", "How do I cut n paste?"

So this thread is for us all to experiment with.  A virtual sandbox that I hope people will use and bemuse themselves with and I hope that this thread can be made sticky, somehow...

and remember, when you think wonder, think WonderCafe!

It even sent pictures from the goal line. The spacecraft plunged through Mars' atmosphere, fired up a rocket-powered platform and lowered the car-sized, 1-ton Curiosity rover to its landing spot in 96-mile-wide (154-kilometer-wide) Gale Crater. Then the platform flew off to its own crash landing, while Curiosity sent out a text message basically saying, "I made it!""

we will all me modified intelligences of stardust

My friends are constantly bemusing me

Like the level of trust they have shown me -- I have had 2 friends who have given me their bank card PIN and their bank card

I still can look at that and wonder what I did to deserve that -- no conscious act or plan on my part

I offer this thread for you all to perhaps talk aboot any acts by your friends that have amazed you, bemused you, etc etc

a vast cry:
