OK, actual joke that Albert Einstein told a parot he got for his 75th birthday. (He thought is was depressed, so he told it jokes. You can't make stuff like this up, folks.)
Heisenburg and Schrödinger are driving down the road, and Heisenburg says, "I think you just ran over a cat." Schrödinger replies, "Is it dead?" And Heisenburg says, "I can't be certain."

This is Einstein we're talking about. You know, the guy who once walked into a lecture hall with his underwear on outside his pants. Sort of like an elderly version of Quail Man.

Heh. That's funny.
That Einstein was a clever guy eh?

Limerick Dungeon Limericks (from Kingdom of Loathing)
An insatiable maiden quite foxy
Proves a difficult test of your moxie
So you summon a Djinn
Well-versed in carnal sin
And seduce the young vixen by proxy.
While poking around in the dungeon,
You encounter a gnome with a truncheon.
Of this tiny jerk,
You (of course) make short work,
And head back into town for your luncheon.
A slime puddle of heavy viscosity
Proves a strong test of your virtuosity
But you cross with a hop
Clean it up with a mop
And walk off with a renewed pomposity.
A creature half-bull and half-man
Tries to gobble you up like a flan
But you rock that dumb minotaur
Old-school like Pat Benatar
And vamoose as fast as you can.
All at once you're approached by an Orc
Who comes after you waving a spork.
With a thud and a squish,
Well, you make that Orc wish
He was never dropped off by the stork.
You encounter the Goblin King's vassal,
And think "this won't be too much hassle,"
As you show him the floor,
Slam his head in a door,
And make off with his shiny new tassel.
You encounter a fierce-looking giant,
Who blocks your way, huge and defiant.
Though he roars "puny fool!"
You take his ass to school,
you leave him a good deal more pliant.
So you meet this gelatinous cube,
and it roars "I'll absorb you, you rube!"
You: "We'll see about that!"
as you hammer it flat,
and end up with a puddle of lube.
You encounter a chest full of meat
Unguarded, which is pretty neat
So you hastily croak
A bad "meaty chest" joke
Hork the meat, and discreetly beat feet.

I tend to like the guy more as a person (and as an artist; he makes some cool watercolor pictures) than as a musician, though I was kind of into the music during my troubled youth. I mean, he played D&D when he was younger; he's one of us. His whole shtick is really just Alice Cooper's stage show taken a little further on the inflammatory surrealist thing.
Methinks he's also a Bowiephile beyond compare. He once pissed of Trent Reznor, who thought he was to produce Brians next album, only Brian asked Bowie to produce it. (something like that... hazy memory)
Look at that refigured Aladin Sane (a lad insane) logo he used for a fascist logo backdrop.
And the eyes being a different color.
There was one point where I believe he was just outright dressing like Ziggy Stardust in concert.
I used to notice a good few of his obvious homages to Bowie but that part of my brain was lost to an explosion in a glitter factory. I'm lucky to be alive.

I've read Manson's autobiography, 'The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell,' and Mr. Warner was indeed a Bowie / Cooper fan in his youth.

I really hoping doing some yoga and then my kata's will help me sleep or else I'm totally crashing my neighbors pool.
Pool... I have a lake and a river withing walking distance of my house. I need no pool. Ha ha!
BTW, does that stuff really help you sleep? I could use something like that myself.

Yes, but as soon as you set foot in said lake, you'd dissolve.

Do you own it, or is it at the library? It you own it, can I borrow it?

It's in the library system, so they can order it for you.

Usually a bit of reading, then meditation, the stretching does the trick. Last night I got distracted by my reading until about 4, then my roomates came home and were drunk and funny. And then it was 5 and I really was tired.
So, short answer, yes!

When I read that I just assumed you meant there was some quality of Dirk which would cause him to dissolve if he went into a lake.
After a few moments I realised you were probably commenting on some quality of the lake, rather than your friend...

I wound up vetoing that idea as soon as the roomies came home.
Our neighbors are our friends and usually don't care if we crash their pool....and I felt like swimming.
It happens. Insomnia is fun. :P

I would prefer waking up and discovering that I had had millions of dollars put into an account, and some nice new lackey has had a Hareem installed for me...
waking up aand hearing the birds is for the birds
With my luck I'd find that the millions dollars I had had put into an account was not my own, and my lackey would have installed a Kareem for me... just to show me up on sky-hooks.
And waking up to hear the birds... yeah, those birds would empty their Elmers into my ear. Now there's a fine how de doo.

Right?
xD
Birds? I wake up to the psychotic squirrels that assault my window and scare away all the birds! Except that one that sings like a magaphone on crack. Oh, and the dogs of all my neighbors, barking at the squirrels. And the voices in my head, telling me that the squirrels are god and want me to shave my head and join the Peace Corp.

Actually, I am a member of the Church of the Invisible Pink Unicorn. We cannot see it, so logic tells us it must be invisible, and we must have faith to know it to be pink.

My wife bought a door mat. On the back of it was a warning label --
-------------------------------------------------------------
Important things you should know about your new doormat

This mat is not designed to sustain gross weight exceeding 12,000 lbs. If mat begins to smoke, immediately seek shelter and cover head. Caution: if coffee spills on mat, assume that it is very hot. This mat is not intended to be used as a placemat. Small food particles trapped in fibers may attract rodents and other vermin. Do not glue mat to porous surfaces, such as pregnant women, pets, and heavy machinery. When not in use, mat should be kept out of reach of children diagnosed with CFED (Compulsive Fiber Eating Disorder). Do not taunt mat. Failure to comply relieves the makers of this doormat, Simply Precious Home Décor, and its parent company, High Cotton, Inc., of any and all liability.

That worked. I made the change and thanked you above but I shall NOT thank you twice! Thanks, though... y'know...
Changed mine as well. I bow to your superior knowledge. Thanks...

So I'm sitting in front of the computer reading something that some witty Paizonian posted when I hear a crash-bang-skitter. Knowing that our back door screen is not quite there and knowing that the cats like to be destructive at night, I hop up to investigate the latest scene of carnage.
As I turn into the kitchen, lit only by the single bulb above the stove, I see a dark hump backed shape skitter-bang clumsily through the door and outside.
I swear to Pelor, I'm gonna get those undead raccoons one of these days.

The other day I had to put eight dead animals in a carrier bag and bin/get rid of them. A robin red breast, a blue tit, two sparrows, and four mice (although one may have been a vole or shrew because it had a long nose). Sometimes its hard being a multiple cat owner, our lawn is like a warzone sometimes.
