[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

The Scots (originally Irish, but by now Scotch) were at this time inhabiting Ireland, having driven the Irish (the Picts) out of Scotland; while the Picts (originally Scots) were now Irish (living in brackets) and vice versa. It is essential to keep these distinctions clearly in mind (and verce visa).

I've said it many, many times. The only thing better than porn is cartoons. The only thing better than cartoons is cartoon porn.

Seriously, the first time I saw some dirty rendering of Disney characters getting it on, I laughed so hard I almost peed myself. Maybe I did pee myself and the experience was so traumatic I blocked it from my mind forever.

I'm not sure if its from somewhere special, but one of my friends had this as an away message.

This one was from Jason (Mr. M) at TLE on Tuesday.

"It's a good thing men don't understand women, because women understand women and they hate each other."

[House of Mustard]

My wife confided in me the other day that women don't actually understand other women.  In fact, she said, no one understands women.

[Lieutenant Kije]

So the ancient advice gnothi seauton only applies to half the species?

I guess that's possible.  I mean, it was a man who said it in the first place.  

[fuzzyoctopus]

HoM, I think that we don't understand ourselves ALL the time, but women definitely understand women better than men do.
I don't think there's any argument on that factor.   I do like the quote though.  How many times have I hated someone's girlfriend just because I knew what she was up to?

[JP Dogberry]

No one understands women for a good reason. To understand something, it needs to be a logical system, and that requires at least a bare semblence of consistancy. Woman aren't  consistant, women are a mass of randomness that make the order the tetris blocks will fall look predictable.

Forgive me, I've been studying Euripides Medea.

[Lieutenant Kije]

Yeah, that play'll really lift up your spirits.

Whoa! I think it's going a bit far to generalize and say that all women have no consistency just from reading one play--which, I might add, was written by a man.

Granted, some of my sisters of the species aren't the most logical. And women tend to think circularly and to regard community more than one-on-one, while men tend to think more linearly. That doesn't mean that women aren't logical. It means that our logic isn't linear, which is just a different kind of intelligence.

stacer, I don't think he was being serious...
