Oh, Wow, This Is Powerful Stupid

Thank you Tuckerfan for not making me have to beg.

The italics. Awful lot of trouble to go to. Reason?

Heh, that’s a good question. They certainly go out of their way to make you think that they do, but they’re fairly tongue-in-cheek fellows, so it’s questionable as to how much they believe or not. Bob Shea’s passed on, but Robert Anton Wilson’s still alive and kicking.

NoClueBoy, the reason for the italics is to highlight the absurdity of my friend’s and BS’s thought processes. Yeah, it’s a pain in the ass (you’ll notice I haven’t done it in my responses) and I realize that not everybody will get the reason behind them (which is part of the fun of doing them). fnord

saw it on a liscence plate

That depends on which day of the week it is. An interview with RAW that I read one time said that he gets this question all the time. He answers in the negative on Wednesdays and in the affirmative the rest of the time. Then he throws in some extra randomness depending on what days of the week various holidays fall that particular year.

Enjoy,

I think that book needs a surgeon general’s warning not to mix with hallucinagens or paranoia. (And I’m one who is irritated by all the warning labels.)
