Today I got an email from Misfit to inform me that the post had been 'moderated' for 'historical purposes'. I think that's really cool to have some of my addlebrained post midnight drivel consigned to history so I reproduce the opening post here in it's entirety just because my man Misfit, the moderator, has seen fit to classify it as history. Get'em while they last Hey Kids! - STARTING TODAY! Due to the US government being tied up with their crusade for the hearts of the muhammadans and with a little help from arms lobbyists, These neat assault weapons can now be purchased in accordance with the law of the land for your bullet spraying enjoyment: - AK-47 and all models of the Norinco, Mitchell and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs, designed in the former Soviet Union. -Uzi and Galil, both made by Action Arms Israeli Military Industries. - TEC-9, TEC-22 and TEC-DC9, manufactured by Intratec. -SWD M-10, M-11, M-11-9 and M-12. Based on the design of the MAC-10, their full-automatic cousin, these assault pistols are designed to fire many bullets over a wide area in seconds. - Street Sweeper and Striker 12 and other revolving cylinder semiautomatic shotguns. (GREAT FOR RABBITS AND SPRUCE HENS) - Beretta AR-70 and SC-70, used by armed forces in a number of countries including Italy, Jordan and Malaysia. - Colt AR-15, the civilian version of the M-16 rifle that is the U.S. military's standard-issue rifle. - Weapons manufactured by Fabrique Nationale, the FN-FAL, FN-LAR and FNC. The guns are used by the armed forces of more than 90 countries. -Steyr AUG, a rifle made in Germany. IT'S THE LAW- if you are a criminoid you aren't allowed to play with these. They are legal ONLY for regulated sport hunting and target practice. Please dont use ILLEGAL conversion kits enabling full automatic firing modes. Remember- dont take your assault weapons to school and NEVER drink and shoot. Thanks George- for your continuing assurance to every American that their security is #1 on your 'to do' list.

6) Message boards : Politics : Religious Thread [8] - CLOSED (Message 451286) Posted 5 Nov 2006 by Carl Cuseo Post: The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so"profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic(absorbs heat)? Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following: First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. This gives two possibilities: 1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God." THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

Lester- Since you've already got the bucks, the house, and the car- Well hell all you need is to hire a band. Any band will do. Get up front and do whatever you feel like. Pay them extravagantly and in a few weeks they will be crawling with groupies. Drugs brings the chippies. But you got to watch your butt Lester cause you know Drugs are not legal- not legal at all. And drugs are probably what your well paid band will use To drag chicks away from poorer guys who dont get paid as much. If you've got the bucks, a much easier way to accumulate groupies Is to forget about rock stardom and just find a jammin night club. Buy the house a round or two a few nights in a row when the place is hopping- In less than two weeks you'll have groupies hanging out wherever you show up: The grocery store, the barber shop, the line at the DMV for car inspection....everywhere Just for the fun of it, put a big Fender Stratocaster decal on the back window of your ride. Dont get snagged- practice safe sex- and let the good times roll- Til you have to start working overtime to pay the bills. Enjoy...cc

Certainly there are star people who reap big bucks and can actually play music. But they are so few compared to those who sell rock star to the kids that buy the CD's. Selling to the kids is what makes one a rock star- bucks Bro...bucks! You'll need to hook up and convince some players that you have what it takes to make kids part with $20 To listen to your antics. So you need to develope some original moves- Stuff the kids' can really use to freak their parents. If you're interested in learning to actually play music, Well then it's been my experience you'll need to go through a long period of practice- And you're going to have to pay people money or fix their teeth if you're a dentist, So that they can guide you along. Hope the bucks start rolling in for you soon....cc

18) Message boards : Politics : The Dogs of War (Message 432181) Posted 7 Oct 2006 by Carl Cuseo Post: It's obvious to me anyway that humans like to kill each other. They're doing it every day in every imaginable and unimaginable way. Humans have made distinctions about what's good killing And what's bad killing. Killing has been a profession for as long as there's been humans. And indeed people have been rewarded with honors for being good killers. Bad killers are punished by being killed by those who only recognize good killers As being honorable. War is just killing people on a grand and glorious scale Where you can honorably kill hundreds or thousands In great grand bloody swoops. Powerful leaders who may have never had the stomach to kill another Can delare themselves 'Warriors' by sending their subjects into battle. It doesn't matter how many people are actually killed. What's most important for those who kill; Or for those who send others to their deaths, Is that they dont die themselves Just trying to kill others...cc
