Taking the bus

As I once found out.

 

It is basically only to keep the subject from going to an unrecoverable
state until the emergency services arrive with a couple of paddles and a
lot of volts if its a heart problem.

 

I ended up giving CPR to a chap who collapsed in a pub I was in. I got
him going again but they turned him off later. Ho hum.

 

Phil, there is no god. I'm sorry if this comes as bad news.

 

I didn't even bother with this thread. It's just not worth the effort.

Hear the one about the dyslexic agnostic insomniac? He used to lay awake
every night wondering if there was a dog.

 

He's not the guy who lay awake all night wondering where the sun went, is
he?

 

As non-sequiturs go, that's quite good.

The term Christian denotes the following of a certain Mr Christ, whose
name (whether held at the time or dedicated later) is indeed a proper
noun. I don't think the same applies to messrs Athe, Capital, Moto or
Guitar. You're chasing a complete logical fallacy.

Try reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_adjective

I suppose all the other cults had Capitalisation, so they wanted them.

 

Some of their examples may be crap, but the principle remains.

 

There was no "mr Christ" it means "the annointed one"

the correct term is "jesus the christ" ... of course, whether that's
correct or not is also debatable

 

Pure pedantry.

You'll be telling me his middle name wasn't Harold next.

 

I thought it was Herbert.

 

heh.

 

Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, CT

I read somewhere on Usenet once that it's "Haploid".

Only one parent, see...

 

Sheesh, surely you know to ask Uncle Cecil by now ...

Very clever. I had to Google that.

 

this is the same as that scheme to take over the democratic world by
registering a political party called "none of the above", isn't it?

 

i always find that not trying to argue with these people is the best way.
just take the booklet, and put it in the bin. i used to do this, more or less,
when i worked in the city, with those annoying fuckers who push london lite
into your face - although substitute "bin" for "pavement" in that case,
since there are no actual bins on the streets in the city on account of the
fact that someone might blow them up, or throw lit fags in them, or vomit in
them, or perhaps just because it actually costs a small amount of money for
the council to provide them and empty them, who knows.

the advantages of this approach are: 1. it requires much less effort on your
part (arguing with people is tiresome) 2. you reduce their stockpile of
materials to harass everyone else with, and 3. the look on their faces is
priceless.
