Kill this thread, eh?

Fart juice.
Pregnant outtie navel suckling.
Body-building females on steroids.

eeeccchhhh!

If this doesn't do it, just lemme know, i can get infinately worse.

that's disgusting

Well, we could also resort to your basic Usenet thread-killer.

Here goes:

Hitler

Jeepers! I still think "I'll conquer the Earth and rename it New Germany!" has to be one of silliest lines ever spoken in a Legion book!

Hmmm. 36 minutes. Not bad. Maybe it just needs more juice.

That's a simplistic strategy dont you think.

Yes.

Hitler.

That just a bit offensive. Not funny at all.

this is true. so let's move on to a funny topic. I nominate comparative biology. For example did you know rabbits have a two-pass digestive system?

What amuses me, though, is that it was working.

Can we do comparative biology before lunchtime?

Forget biology. Won't work. If confrontation won't work, biology won't work. You tried boring before, remember?

By constantly repeating the strategy of being boring, he is being boring on a whole new level! However, I find his meta-boringness an interesting strategy, so it is self-defeating!

Anytime is a good time for comparative biology.

So rabbits eat their poo to get the nutrients out. The bacteria and digestive enzymes of their gut break down the cellulose but by that time it's too late to absorb the sugar so they must eat it again.

Rodents on the other hand have a higly developed Caecum (the area of the ascending colon where the small intestine joins the colon) where bacteria break down plant matter. Humans of course have a vestigial organ known as the appendix because we dont digest cellulose.

Ruminants such as cows solve the problem by having a bacterial filled rumen where cellulose is decomposed. Periodically the material is regurgitated into the mouth where it is chewed some more (chewing the cud). So when the material enters the true stomach and intestines it is ready for digestion.

confrontation still not working. Anyhow forget that. No point in trying to stop the thread while there's possibility of a great discussion of "boring."


I think "meta-boring" would constitute a discussion of "what is boring," not being really, really boring though of course this discussion would be boring.

We should have this discussion.

How can this comp bio be boring? I know people who make careers of this stuff. Mostly on the molecular level these days but same stuff different scale.

And as to my strategy, I'm a big believer in core-competencies as opposed to diversification. Sure think outside the box, but make sure what you plan is within the skill-set.

Biology. That's the 570s.

I would have figured it was the L-7s.

Now library science... that's boring

Au contraire! It's fascinating! For example, did you know that, according to the current version of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, the composer, not the lyricist, is considered the primary author of a muscial play? For example, Frederick Loewe, not Alan Jay Lerner, is considered the primary author of Camelot, for purposes of cataloguing. I would have thought it to be the other way around, myself.

Fascinating

Boring! This thread now officially DESERVES to Die!

I know something that will interest you all!

In addition to buying all kinds of property and casualty insurance, one can also purchase 'umbrella' insurance. Such a thing exists to act as one larger insurance policy in case any claim exceeds the underlying insurance policies, which may or may not include various other property insurance policies or casualty insurance policies. Umbrella insurance can often be done on an excess basis, which is the recomended route, as one can purchase something along the lines of two hundred thousand dollars in excess of two hundred thousand dollars, often at a very low rate because of such a high limit in the policy. Yet, for this small premium owed, you can be covered at up to five hundred thousand dollars. What in the world would create a five hundred thousand dollar claim on general casualty insurance you ask? Obviously, you've never pulled an all-nighter with Cobalt Kid.

this thread must die....

Cobalt Kid: Chief of Security to Policy Pam?

Say it isnt so!

Good luck with that DB...
