and National Treasure falls into the MacGyver category (correctly guess a whole paragraph of esoteric crap with the hint of a single letter)…which bores me also.

does that help?

No, I just find it humorous that one who seems to be certain of the meaning of:

"And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads."

would say such a thing.

Visiting the Capitol for the first time earlier today:

That's an impressively large white dome; filled with conflicting ideologies, partisan hackery, delusions of grandeur, and an awful lot of hot air.

Calling for a military coup is trolling, opebo. You've been reported.

Seriously?  You little twat.

[patrick1]

Wonkish if it wasn't for Jesus Christ you'd be getting a sh!tload of a lot more posts modded since that's the reason I'm not combing through your posts looking for ones to report like I used to do before I was filled with the Holy Spirit. Quit whining.

I think that is a dual entry for the absurdity and comedy instit.

GANGSTA FOR REAL

I lol'd.  It was a fitting reply to one of the most ridiculous scenarios (and post) ever on this forum. That is saying a lot with the likes of phk and brtd around.

Oh Jesus Christ on the cross... are you for serious?

Just one question snowy...

Where were YOU during the caucus tonight?

Click for context.

Yeah, it really takes away from the realism of the movie.

Haha, I just came in to post  that.

For me, it's just a new way to get worked up over data, plus I get the pleasure of having the last word on this discussion until sundown tomorrow.

The idea of someone speaking a dead language, especially, Latin (or even claiming to speak it) is inherently hilarious to me. If you don't find it so I apologise.

I personally have a great admiration for people able to speak dead languages, especially Latin.

Learning to speak a dead language seems like the very definition of a waste of time, but different strokes...

I'm told it's helpful if you're getting into archaeology, law, medicine, etc.  Other than that, yeah, it's pretty useless.

I took four years of Latin in HS.  As for practicality, it did help on the verbal section of the SAT's quite a bit. Fifteen years later I haven't really remembered much except for the Ave Maria, Pater Noster and snippets of the Aeneid.

Oh and mea culpa, mea maxima culpa for defiling this hallowed institution.
