Bjorn, Bjorn, Bjorn!!! You do not have a “style” of writing English, you have a complete inability or disregard for it. I can’t claim that my “style” of driving is to drive on the wrong side of the street backwards while blindfolded–that’s just not driving. I began trying, along with many others, to give you ideas before. You know them, yet you basically say that they’re meaningless. This is actually a mark of either incredible stupidity or a mental illness. Troll. Bucky ---

I guess Einstein and others got it wrong about time ,space and especially gravity. I find I get dragged ,irresistably ,into the awful maw of BjOrns posts and when I’ve done reading and translating I find that, inexplicably ,I have travelled in time by a huge displacement and that the world seems to have closed in around me. ---

No, he’s funny to me because I don’t understand him. Or, in bj0rnese: funny is words so _logic_ is genesis of understanding. or is it not possible? rousseau- thoughts can breathe underwater? * * * “History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.” -Winston Churchill ---

I value sarcasm very highly as a great skill and a sort of lost art. It very easy to be able to insult people without them knowing it until a few minutes after the original insult. My friends has always wanted me to be as sarcastic as possibly with as many people at one bar as possible in as sort an amount of time as possible, and get the hell out before anyone notices. I think if would be a great achievement to piss off an entire bar as a whole. * * * The computer has brought more problems to man then any other invention in history.
