I’ve always liked “hypocracy” as an alternative spelling … Government by hype. Describes our current “Labour” government to a T(ony Blair).
At least it wasn’t a rant about athiests or Isreal.

Polycarp, thank you. This has bothered me for quite some time. Not because of the general level of ignorance shown, but because I see it mis-spelled so often, I am no longer certain of the correct spelling without looking it up.
And Shodan, you mis-spelled atheist. 
I thought Hippocracy was a holiday when everybody drinks hippocras.
[quick voyage to asideville] That article is a scream:
(like, oh, maybe, a pound?)
BAWHAHAHAHA so imagine how rare a chick with teeth AND four legs might be!
oh…hee…geeze the thing is they don’t seem to have been trying to be witty [/voyage]
I though the Hipocracy was the upper crust of society; the cool people at the top of the social food chain.
Wasn’t Hypocrites a famous doctor or something?
If it means chocolate for everyone, I can get behind that.
If the horses were Houyhnhnms, I might welcome them. I might even shout, “Yahoo!”
He also misspelled Israel.
Whoosh!

Shodan’s got a sense of humour! Who knew? :eek:
He’s the guy who taught all his medical students to swear an oath of ethical conduct, even though he personally didn’t believe a word of it.
Actually Shodan is quite witty and a compassionate, decent guy – that’s why I got so peeved at some of his recent snarky drive-by posts; I know he’s better than that.
But that brings up the question of whether an Isreali athiest claiming to be a Jew is a hippocrite?
Oh, and I forgot hippocrates, which are of course large wooden boxes used by exotic animal shippers.
Misspell takes a hyphen? Who knew? :eek:
(It’s a Gaudere orgy, is what it is.)
Ooh , you can be real mean at times 
I nominate this as the punniest thread ever.
Did you mean hypocrite? Or squishy hippo that happens to be hypocritical of others.
You mean Hippolyptic surely
And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a yellow hippo: and he had a big mouth; and he went forth eating white marbles, and to eat more white marbles.
And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. And there went out another horse that was orange: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take white marbles from the earth, and that they should eat white marbles: and there was given unto him a great mouth.
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a green hippo; and he also had a big mouth for the eating of the white marbles.
And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pink hippo: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth, and to eat white marbles. Okay, mainly to eat white marbles, but the other powers were there too.
