Re: Silly questions?

Well Jerry...

    I can sometimes generate a hell of a lot of rhetorical questions.  Do
you?  I think it can be an effective way to make a point.  But I also
generate a lot of questions in which I'm genuinely curious.  I think it's a
good way to try and elicite clarification from someone.  :)

Automobile means CAR to me.  Vrooom... vroooom. oil and metal.  Freedom and
responsibilty.  I can't say that I associate any kind of animal with the
word automobile.  Well maybe deer and opposums :)

For me, that is in my book, true anticipation is limited to the living
(except maybe opposums).

The second law of thermodynamics I thought was applicable only to closed
systems.  Papa's got a brand new bag.
