You guys will turn anything into a theological debate.
The truth of the matter is actually much more simple: The aliens have gotten to Ed. In reality, Gaudere is an advance agent for the fluffy bunnies of Planet X, who have conspired to take over Earth in the name of She Whose Horn Cannot Be Seen. This fact was revealed on national TV, but is denied by the skeptics. It’s on the tape of one episode of the Newlywed Game…
Congratulations, Gaudere. It’s a brilliant and most appropriate appointment.
Poly, you should know better than to spread those nasty Urban Legends. See, you already created a false memory for Lib. Shame on you.
It was not the fluffy bunnies of Planet X. Gaudere was advance agent for the Bene Tleilaxu, in their quest to invade the machine Planet IX. I have, however, heard that the fourth planet of Eridani, Richese, is next on the hit list. And David B is really a ghola. If you want the real story on how the planets IX and Richese evaded the Phaederiean Jihad, I’ll try to find a source.

And remember, he who can spill a beer, controls the beer.
BTW, Lib, if I recall my Athenian fantasies correctly the goddess in question (wisdom) sprang from the head (brain) of Zeus. Thus leading to the iron-clad conclusion that we all create our own gaudere and select the experiential details that affirm our belief.

If you need a Gaudere or a David to make you happy, then I wish you well. But I don’t need them. All I need is a Submit Reply button, and I find that right here in the cybernatural universe.
Ya know Jab, that brings up an interesting point. Just how many of our moderators are freelance atheists? I know there’s more than David and Gaudere. And does this have anything to do with Eutychus’ impending retirement?

I have been informed by the Latin scholars here that it is properly pronounced “Gaw-Day-RAY”. I tend to pronouce it “Gaw-DEHR” though, and I suspect everyone else does too (well, maybe “Gaw-DEAR” as well).
“Gaw-day-RAY”? With the accent on the LAST syllable?!
But, but, but … but according to Teach Yourself Latin, the accent in all Latin multisyllable words is supposed to go either on the next-to-last syllable or on the syllable BEFORE that – never on the last syllable!
Does this mean I have to throw out my Latin book now?
But why do you believe so easily? Where is your skepticism?
Is it not possible that threads can close and migrate to other forums by cybernatural processes, without the aid of a board god/goddess/Gaudere? Surely there is no need for such a hypothesis!
