Every once in a while I notice a really, really stupid thread. And then I notice who the thread starter is. “Ah”, I say, and move on. The same comment applies to **Machinaforce** , whose existential angst appears to be unbounded. ---

It’s my belly button!” At a party, a friend asked us to guess what he had in common with Jeff Goldblum. Turns out they were in Highschool together (Taylor Allderdice in Pittsburgh). I then asked people to guess what I had in common with the biblical Adam and Eve. After dozens of incorrect guesses, everyone gave up. “No belly button” I explained. For an hour or more an argument ensued. “Everyone has one”, “Was it removed surgically?”, “Part of a hernia problem?”, etc, etc. I insisted I’d been born without one. Finally, someone asked the obvious, “well, show us!” I’d been looking for an exit. I acted insulted, glared at him and said, “you’re calling me a liar!?” and left. 😃 ---

I knew a kid without a belly button. Apparently he was born placenta first and his umbilical was damaged. Had to have surgery right after birth. It was miracle he lived. I guess. Unfortunately he died while still in school, he ran after a basketball in the street and was hit by a car. Sad, but true. ---

I think he should change his nick to Oxy-moron. It would be more apt than his current name. Although I suppose it is possible he does a lot of contemplation, but is just shit at it. ---
