[facthunter]

"Roof Rabbit" in some places. They eat Horse in France and Dogs in China. I had wallaby sausages the other night..  Nev

[pmccarthy]

Sometimes  eat my words.

[red750]

Try our fried chicken. It's purrfect. Note: We no see your  cat.

[red750]

Here is a couple of other anomlies in English.

 

How come 'have' and 'save' don't rhyme?

 

If 'desert"(as in Sahara) has one 's', and 'dessert' (as in sweets) has two, why does 'deserted' (as in island) only have one 's'?

[Marty_d]

Because it's a desert island, not a chocolate island?

[facthunter]

Because you have dessert after dinner and you had no dinner as there was no diner to eat it in.  Nev

[spacesailor]

Those words

That have no written  application.

[old man emu]

From Latin praeposterus, from prae "before"  + posterus  "subsequent, coming after," literally "before-behind" (cart before the horse).

 

Matthew 20:16  So the last shall be first, and the first last.

[Marty_d]

2 hours ago, old man emu said:

Matthew 20:16  So the last shall be first, and the first last.

Marty 1:1.  Yea, I tell unto ye, many will quote some ancient fiction as though it bear relevance or meaning.

Marty 1:2. It doesn't.

[onetrack]

Who is this new Marty prophet, who speaketh like an atheist?? 

[facthunter]

He's a whether Prophet.   Nev

[pmccarthy]

He's the half-yearly prophet.

[Marty_d]

There'll probably be no profiting from my propheting.

 

But here's my 10 Suggestions in no particular order (no commandments from this prophet)

 

1. Think critically.

2. If a scientific theory has undergone rigorous testing and peer review, it's probably right and can be trusted until further discoveries prove it to be wrong.  This is how it's supposed to work.

3. Nothing's more important than your health and the health of those you love.  Including mental health.

4. If something seems too good to be true, it most likely is not true.  This applies to everything from Nigerian princes trying to hide their millions in your bank account, to any religion that tells you belief in something will give you eternal life.

5. Don't be a c*nt.

6. Don't hurt the planet more than you have to.

7. Always question the motivation of the rich, powerful and politicians.

8. Be nice except where being nice will hurt you or those you love.

9. Rules are for the adherence of fools and the guidance of wise people.  Having said that, be very sure of which camp you're actually in.

10. Relax and laugh often.

[facthunter]

Be careful when camping out. Some people have Naughty intent.  Nev
