I come from the land of How Stuff Works and have decided to join the Straight Dopers after a few days of browsing and reading various threads in the SDMB anonymously. I look forward to meeting you all. 
Welcome to the boards Pen!
Hey, welcome. 
ATMB (About This Message Board) is a great place to find the general rules of the place, if you haven’t stopped by there yet.
In case of emergency - the exits are here and here. In the pouch on the back of the seat in front of you, you will find a safety leaflet…
Why hello there kind virtual person.
Please tell us a little bit about yourself. Include a 1,000 word essay on the meaning of life for you.
Thank you.
So, how does Stuff work? Or can you tell us that here?
And whatever you do, don’t try to play polo with the goat. He’s still a little shaken up from that night with SPOOFE and Billy Rubin…
Woaha Meatros… you mean there’s actually MEANING to this thing you call “life”? :eek:
“Life, don’t talk to me about life”
-Marvin, the paranoid android
(some body had to post it… right… I’m sorry)
Of course there is…Now the only question is what sort of meaning does life have? It could have prefound meaning, we are all individuals working toward a common goal of unifying the cosmos in order to further understand the nature of good and evil and to expound on the principles that seperate the two;
Or
The meaning of life is that we are all accidents…
Which camp do you belong to?
Welcome, Penumbra! One word of advice: Watch out for iampunha. He’s shifty.
Hey there! Welcome to the SDMB… you’ll never leave again [cue maniacal laughter]
Heh… but anyway. I love the name. That is such a cool word.
Well since I’m leaning more towards being agnostic, I’d have to say that there is no meaning to life. However, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that we are all accidents, that sounds a bit pessimistic, but rather… SUPRISES.
Hehe… You’ll fit in quite well here.
I think you’ll fit right in here. Do you know about the secret initiation ceremony you have to perform tonight?
I say watch out for Gazelle from Hell. She likes having her icy knees licked :eek:
Hey! I was NICE to the goat. And whatever else the goat says, it a lie!
Now the chickens, well, we don’t want to talk about the chickens.

Welcome Penumbra
And as for the meaning of life, you just don’t have to worry your little head about it. Since you’ve found the SDMB, you won’t have a life. No kidding.
Welcome.
Welcome to the SDMB, Penumbra.
I like you!
