Which Horrible Affliction are you?
A Rum and Monkey disease.

Interesting coincidence

Via viral email:

Year 1981
1. Prince Charles got married
2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe
3. Australia lost the Ashes
4. Pope Died

Year 2005
1. Prince Charles got married (again)
2. Liverpool crowned Champions of Europe (again)
3. Australia lost the Ashes
4. Pope Died

In future, if Prince Charles decides to re-marry and Liverpool
wins another European crown.... please warn the Pope :-) ..

Of course, perhaps God sacks his CEO if he fails to achieve certain KPIs.

You know you are getting long in the tooth and your years of repressing the English language have been in vain when you find the following worthy of a guffaw:

Triumphant triontologias

TWO weeks ago we noted that you would be doubly truthful if you said of a computer-assisted tomography scan of a cat: "This is a cat scan" (20 August). We dubbed such statements diontologias and wondered whether there were any triontologias.

The challenge proved irresistible but hard to meet. The groan factor was high as readers struggled to find ways to satisfy the criteria using words such as "catastrophe", "catalogue" and "tomography". None really succeeded, and it was left to Nigel Steel to come up with what we felt was the best solution: "If you did a number of scans using positron emission tomography and an image of your own domestic animal companion was your personal favourite, then the statement, 'this is my pet scan', would be true to the third power."

Quite right Nigel, and thanks. Thanks also to Tom Gallard who reached almost the same solution with his "pet pet project". And we should mention the effort by Richard Saunders, who pointed out that if he bought a large musical instrument for £1000 and thought it was quite splendid, then the statement, "This is a grand piano", would be true three ways.

The part of the encounter that hurt the most was not the beating or the humiliation of being robbed, but the fact that such callousness and lack of compassion could exist in the world. Cuts heal and bones mend but the knowledge that people could turn off, or worse never have developed, empathy and kindness produces a deep malaise that threatens to engulf me. That people could be so selfish that inflicting pain on others was somehow acceptable for no other reason than it provided a brief monetary gain makes me yearn that I had not nurtured empathy.

What made it worse was they weren’t even real.

The Seer Saw It All

You must understand, dear reader, that The Seer may be omnipotent and omnipresent (I am standing….right behind you!), but when he reads about dohickies that turn Microsoft Word into The Seer’s own personal blogging publishing devicerama-mibob, he calls immediately for Chas. The Seer does not sully his hands with the work of a peon.

“Make it work, damn you, damn peon” The Seer asks politely of Chas.

“Just downloading it now”, Chas utters in his soooo-Buddhistly calm you can tell he is about to throttle a puppy to death with its own tail due to the simmering under the surfaceness way.

“FASTER! MUSH!”, The Seer quietly urges.

Chas explodes in a tirade of expletives against Google and Microsoft (he may have said Poogle and Mycuntsoft, but The Seer does not condone swearing. The Seer has been everywhere and seen everything and swearing bores The Seer). Chas ponders why Outlook cannot be open while The Seer uses Word to blog. The Seer would explain it to him, but fears his feeble peon mind is not ready. The reason really is a doozy.

Chas explodes in a tirade of expletives against The Seer. Chas explains that it is logically impossible to be both omnipresent and omnipotent. If one was everywhere at once, they would be everyone at once. If everyone at once was omnipotent, then everyone would know everything and this is clearly not the case.

Poor Chas, I haven’t the heart to tell him he’s the only one.
