If there is such a thing as infinity then by any rational way of thinking, wouldn't it be impossible to reach it? If so then it makes Buzz Lightyear's trademark line rather screwed up. :)

You're right, Genrewriter. If 'infinity' was to exist, I'm sure my name would be Jack.

Or John, even.

That's what makes Buzz's catchcry such a hoot. Fully intentional of course.

If you can see your reflection through a window, then why can't you see the other side through a mirror?

Not only would it be impossible to reach it, but it would be even more impossible to travel beyond it.

When I was at primary school there used to be this girl who would tell that poem. she used to say she's written it though, that was about 8 years ago though.

I remember she submitted it to the school newspaper but it was a Church school that didn't have much of a sense of humour and so they rejected it for fear of people being offended by it. :)

This coming Friday is Friday the 13th... unlucky or lucky? And is it really because of the Papal slaughter of Templars in 1013 (or was it 1113 or 1213?) that we consider it unlucky (normally...)?

Sorry about the length of the post - tried to cut it down. Had to post this email though...

ROMANCE MATHEMATICS
Smart man + smart woman = romance
Smart man + dumb woman = affair
Dumb man + smart woman = marriage
Dumb man + dumb woman = pregnancy

OFFICE ARITHMETIC
Smart boss + smart employee = profit
Smart boss + dumb employee = production
Dumb boss + smart employee = promotion
Dumb boss + dumb employee = overtime

SHOPPING MATH
A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need.

GENERAL EQUATIONS & STATISTICS
A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

HAPPINESS
To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little.
To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.

LONGEVITY
Married men live longer than single men do, but married men are a lot more willing to die.

PROPENSITY TO CHANGE
A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.

DISCUSSION TECHNIQUE
A woman has the last word in any argument.
Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

HOW TO STOP PEOPLE FROM BUGGING YOU ABOUT GETTING MARRIED
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
