Oh dear ! Er...yes...I had a good giggle :-) You clearly do not read the postings of Ludwig Plutonium in the newsgroup sci.physics. Ludwig claims that he is the reincarnation of Archimedes and also a reincarnation of Pharlap, the New Zealand racehorse of 1920 or thereabouts. Ludwig recently wrote: > I, myself was both Archimedes of the ancient Greeks and Pharlap > the late 1920's racehorse, brought back to life now as > Archimedes Plutonium. |\ /| ___| \,,/_/ ---__/ \/ \ __ _ __--/ (D) \ / ('>- _ -/ (_ \ \__/ // / \_ / ==\ __------- L\_ ___--/ / \_ O o) / / \==/ / / || ) \_/\ || / _ / | | | /--______ ___\ /\ : | / __- - _/ ------ | | \ \ | - - / | | \ ) | | - | | ) | | | | | | | | | | | | < | | | |_/ < | /__\ < \ after /__\ /___\ -Jurcy- It was Daniel Au, in his "Godiva Chocolates" posting, who suggested that Godiva's horse was Normand Veilleux - now if you were unable to see the humour in that I think it is sad - or maybe you just didn't see his posting: From Daniel Au: -------------------------------------------------------------------- ,gd88b, Want some chocolates? dP"""Y8b \ | 88, \__,d88b ___| |88Y __________,~~,________'YY_______________ | | ```' | | | | |_| |_~ |~> (~ |_| |_~ \ / ' (~ | | | |_| | |__ |~\ _) | | |__ | _) | | Yb, ________ |/' `-_ | | Y8baadP""""""""Yba,_ / `-_ Milk Chocolate | | aaadP"' `""Yb,/ , `._ _______________________|__| `Y8( `/ ,"-_ `-.. \ | | `Y, / / ;-_ ) | | Y, (O) ,' ,-'`\ ), -_ ) | (__ `Y, __/ /' \ `Yba`._______/,aa,\_____\,,,____,aa,_ `Y, ,a<_____) ) )`""""""""""'' ``""""'' "Y, Y, d'8 / ,' "Ya `Y, `b 8 8 |_-' `Y, Y, Ya o ,8 8 b `b Yb,_,dP 8 Y 8 `"""" Y 8 8 I, 8 8 `b P [ `b d' [ d ,P [ ,d' ,PY, ,P"YaaaaaaP"Ybaaa,,_ d' [ d" ,P" Y, d' 8' `""db, d' 8 d' ,P" `Y, 8 I, d'"b, 8a P d( ( `Y, P `b ,P `Y, 8`Ya___d' "Y, "b, `Y, ,I 8 d' `8 8 `"""' "Y, "b, __ `8, d' ,8 ,P 8 8 "Y, "bd88b `b 8 I' d' Y, 8 "Y, 888b 8 8 8 ,P `b 8 "Ya,,d888b8 P d' ,P' 8 Y, `"""",d" ,I ,adPb__aP' Y `b ,a8P,__aP' d888888P' ,d 8 d8888888' 88888888 ,d888bbaaP 88888888 888888NV' """""""" The Hershey's chocolate bar is mine, and the horse is Normand Veilleux. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Daniel -------------------------------------------------------------------- It has been said that humour in this medium does not work very well possibly because too many Net users take themselves too seriously and we all misconstrue what we read - hence the flames. > Good ol' Colin!

I anticipate that you _will_ be watching and will reply to my " Shafts of Wit " ( take care how you say that ) with brilliant responses - preferably accompanied by ASCII pictures to illustrate your points. > Grow up! Some of us try to but never make it - we remain children all our lives.
