A fred question:

Fact: The occupation of "orchestra conductor" tends to cause those in the field to be very long-lived due to the physical nature of the job, and the good health required.*

Willl this fred last as long?






*The comment excludes Jean Baptiste Lully, because although he lived into his early 70's back at the time of Louis XIV, he did himself in via his conducting: He used to pound his staff on the floor to keep time, and one time he missed - stabbed himself in the foot, got gangrene and died.


So, life expectancy is much longer than if your a lightning conductor, ya?

Hmm...

An idea for a political party's candidate: one Ms. or Mr. Ricity.

Then we could Elect Ricity.  Think of the debates he/she could spark.  Think of the charge it could give to a flagging campaign or political system... he/she could really light things up.  The press could have a field day with all sorts of shocking stories or allegations.

Won't work.  Nobody in politics is well grounded.

I'm hangin' in there.  Been getting some muscle cramps and stuff that make it tough to post.  I haven't been feeling too witty either--so I guess I'm witless, now.  

Sorry to hear that may friend. Take care.

FSF Fact:
 
Although undeniably consisting of a very long thread it is doubtful that FSF would yeild enough material to produce even the skimpiest pair of undershreddies.
 
 
Merely one of many amazing facts about FSF.

Just watched a movie where one of the commercials made the claim "Better than taking Viagra alone."

I couldn't help but wonder...  Who the heck would want to do that in the first place???
