I always thought that "The Donald" was Donald Trump I always thought "The Donald" was a duck. /me ducks, Hein

You got that exactly right. Any more tips? I consider joining Alphonsin's 13. regards, Hein

Life expectency of ALS patients isn't particularly good, but he's doing quite well in the circumstances. If I'm to go by his looks he's already dead but failed to notice. Oh dear, I suddenly realise that he's a zombie. A very clever zombie, even. The horror. regards, Hein

First time I've heard of him. It seems silencing dissidents works well in Cuba. Now I understand why the US government use Guantanamo Bay. regards, Hein

As you may understand, eternity isn't very popular here. regards, Hein

Not I. The weather here's been useless for observation. Perhaps tomorrow morning. regards, Hein

I had hoped this topic would live for a while. Yuck. regards, Hein

That pays a few OT levels. regards, Hein

Counted out now. regards, Hein

No confusion necessary. It seems NAP deleted about 10-12 posts, mostly the rampant off-topic idle chit-chat by his pet posters[...] A brief inspection of the moderation logs taught me that it wasn't NAP who deleted those posts. regards, Hein

The German commentary states accusingly that the drivers passed the burning wreck in order to keep their place in the race, as it wasn't cancelled yet at that moment. According to the German commentary it's an accident Muller had nine years earlier, also on the Nurburgring. His Ferrari crashed and caught fire. He got out after 23 seconds, all in flames and suffered only minor burns. regards, Hein

There are people who claim that Mrs Thatcher is single-handedly responsible for the current state of decline in the UK, an equally silly position. No single person has such power, you need a nation for that. regards, Hein

You mean they don't have to pay for the privilege to be there and make fools of themselves? regards, Hein

I understand the idea: if you have a choice you better stick to the ones you know. It's also easier to collect bribes from known dealers. That sounds like Standard Police Procedure to me. Why risk life and limb Out There while you can be sitting in a warm and safe police station doing paperwork. regards, Hein

At least it's a name I recognise, but I don't remember what Senator Helms actually did. Was rather ahem... "nasty" to the blacks. I thought about him for the DDP but didn't choose him as his dementia, which he now also has, is in its early days. But certainly one to keep on a list for future perusal. Now? regards, Hein

Is he getting rusty after smoking a chain? regards, Hein

At least it's a name I recognise, but I don't remember what Senator Helms actually did. Not that that matters, it's a long time to 2008. regards, Hein

One we might have used a few days ago, but may be able to use this year: Ford Transit, regards, Hein

A general plea for people to die doesn't go far here, so your post got binned. We discuss celebrities whom we expect to die soon. Be a bit more specific and you're fine. regards, Hein

Iranian official: "Are you dead, Mr Khamenei?" Iranian official: "ARE YOU DEAD, AYATOLLAH?" Iranian official: "He doesn't answer. That must be a no." Second Iranian official: "Yes, guess so." First Iranian official: "Ladies and gentlemen: we checked and he ain't dead." regards, Hein

Unless of course they went back in time and rewrote the bible omitting all references to said tourists. Possible, but not simple, quite a bit of forging and bribing to do. Then again, there's time enough. regards, Hein

Hoax I agree. But John Titor is still famous under the words 'Time Travel' so he did something right. Maybe his originality in the hoax won him the consideration, and as there have been other hoaxes atleast his might be the most convincing yet. As I see it: his audience is the "Believe Anything As Long As It's Kooky" section of the public, the people who think UFOs are alien spacecraft that make a few crop circles before whizzing off to Area 51 to mutilate some cattle and obduct a few humans for experiments of a personal nature. That he got consideration is about as remarkable as rain in Ireland. There's one interpretation of quantum physics that claims that every outcome of a quantum event creates two different legs of the Trousers of Time. If that interpretation has validity, there's an awful lot of space and time out there. Unfortunately we have no known means of leaving the leg we're in, so this interpretation is speculation rather than science. About the possibily of time travel, consider this: you have a working time machine. Since things don't stay in the same place in the universe, it must not only be able to travel in time, but also in space at the same time. If it can do that, it can travel in space such that it arrives at the same time it departs. If you can do that, you can make a local waterfall that replenishes itself and use it as a source of energy. Where does that energy come from? If your time machine must provide it, we can be assured that time travel doesn't have a nice mileage. A historical argument against time travel I like is that the Bible doesn't mention hordes of tourists, speaking broken Hebrew, who were watching the Crucifixion. regards, Hein

Brilliant! That grey-haired skinny bloke ain't bad either. regards, Hein

Looks like an origami Death of Rats to me. SQUEEK! (that's "Cool!" in Rat) Hein
