Alpha Centuri

The A.C. system is only like 4 light years away. Whis means, at the speed of light, it would take 4 yeas. When do you guys or gals think we would reach AC? Myself, oh, well i think at least by 3000 we would be close to figureing out how. that is unless the earth was destroyed by its residents, and all that remains is Massillon. Why massillon you say? Because the Massillon City Militia would have protected its residents from the mutated residents of Canton and Detrioit (God, i hate both these cities!!) and then we would start a new form of Government and we would prosper for years!

Where do you come up with this crap.

A lot of us overly intelligent guys go through a Tom Robbins-Kurt Vonnegut stage in our early twenties.

Never fear, its just a seldom-used brain muscle flexing and asserting it's presence in our psyche's.

It usually goes to sleep again about the time we get married and get real jobs.

Then...later in life...a la Chap...it comes back to life and helps us somewhat as we approach old age.

Here's a little Tom Robbins for you from my younger days with Still Life With Woodpecker (Which I highly recommend that you read if you are a redhead, if you want to know what the moon is for, or you need to know why there is a pyramid on the back of a dollar bill.):

In the last quarter of the twentieth century, at a time when Western civilization was declining too rapidly for comfort and yet too slowly to be very exciting, much of the world sat on the edge of an increasingly expensive theatre seat, waiting - with various combinations of dread, hope and ennui - for something momentous to occur.

Something momentous was bound to happen soon. The entire collective unconscious could not be wrong about that. But what would it be? And would it be apocalyptic or rejuvenating? A cure for cancer or a nuclear bang? A change in the weather or a change in the sea? Earthquakes in California, killer bees in London, Arabs in the stock exchange, life in the laboratory, or a UFO on the White House lawn? Would Mona Lisa sprout a mustache? Would the dollar fail?

no your wrong, IM RIGHT!


NO...you're LEFT!

But that's OK, we need more like you here.

And for all you currently rampaging RIGHT-WINGERS, I mean left BRAIN, not left WING!

(Althought they often go hand in wing.)
(Or is it wing in brain?)

Whatever, go back now.

:iagree:
