Blasphemy, Ivan. BLASPHEMY!

Blasphemy, Ivan. BLASPHEMY!

Yes, I take issue with that one as well.

Let us bow out heads...




Dear Lord,

I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;

Love to forgive him;

And Patience for his moods;

Because Lord, if I pray for Strength

I'll beat him to death.

Amen

 

[infinitetime]

You never know about the President thing - one day, there may be a great woman leader....

Everything else is just too darn true!

 

[Huckleberry]

Well Ivan, you've provided the gloves and the ring. Now all we need are some contestants.

I still got to think about which way to turn a wrench if I'm under it.

It's a total guy thing: righty tighty lefty loosey.

Yes, but from above I turn to my right and from below I turn to my left. That alone is enough to confuse me

 

[infinitetime]

From what I can see, it's also very convenient to be a guy.

 

[saltydog]

I'd like to see the list for the women. Here, I'll start it off:

1. A women goes to a bar and thinks to herself, "think I'll get laid tonight". A man goes to a bar and thinks to himself, "hope I get laid tonight".

And then everyone calls the woman a slut/whore but doesn't think twice about the guy

The difference between men and women in 5 sentences:

A man is driving up a steep, narrow road.
A woman is driving down the same road.
As they pass each other, the woman leans out the window and yells "PIG!"
The man immediately leans out the window and replies,"*****!"
They continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next corner, he crashes into a pig in the middle of the road.

Yeesh, do you know how many times I've watched guys tighten a screw they were trying to loosen? Um, yeah, I just watched. They get testy if you try to tell them how to do things, so I just watch, and smile, and then offer to give it a try, and they laugh, and just to humor me, hand me the wrench.

Same thing for jars. What can I say, I have a strong grip from all that pipetting in the lab. They sit there struggling with a lid, and I offer to open it, and they laugh, then to get me to shut up, they hand me the jar assuming I won't be able to open it. *POP[/size] That was the sound of their ego bursting.

And I'll have you know that I can wear a white t-shirt to an amusement park, and not a single guy there would complain!

Why are men happier than women? Tis obvious, we get to look at beauty all the time.

They get to have multiples.

I think most women would say dinner is never free and they just about always never even get one.

 

[saltydog]

I'm afraid you're mistaken. They get plenty. We're just never around to see it.

Edit: Well, wait a minute. Let me qualify that last comment. That depends if you don't mind . . .letting mr. happy . . . join you.

Edit: Oh yea, suppose you're right about dinner. I yield.

So, are you more of a breakfast woman?

So who is paying who for what, there?

Ahhh...eh...whaaaa...hmmmmmmm?

 

[Moonbear]

Well, buying dinner is just another gambling addiction men suffer. They hope if they pay, they'll hit the jackpot and get lucky. Because we know what weak creatures the men are, we put up with the more harmless of their addictions.

Haha, thanks for sharing this… very cute. I personally think men are happier than women. LOL

I think it's funny when someone tastes or smells something bad and they pass it on to someone else and then tell THEM to taste or smell it.

 

[Gale]

that list didn't even mention the male lack of a "time-o-the-month." I'd be a bazillion times happier if cramps and bloating just went away... course, the only ways to do that are a) have a baby b) menopause or c) hormones... ugh

plus, guys don't have to worry about their weight. The fat guy is always the popular one everyone loves... the fat girl is never that lucky. and guys can be smart without worrying either. Its so awkward being that "smart chick." =

though, on the plus side, i can get aroused in public without worrying...


oh, and i loved those definitions evo... i especially liked THINGY, VUNERABLE, and MAKING LOVE... hehe, i laughed..

You're right, women hardly ever get to see handsomeness coming their way! j/k

I don't know...I'm pretty sure we make them suffer along on that one. We might be all crampy, but they have to duck and run for cover from the projectiles aimed their way.

So, that's why men are better at physics! Thanks to their sex, they are exposed to projectile motion once a month without taking classes (only clashes). Another one solved!

Good thing we throw like girls, huh?

 

[Joel]

Yeah, imagine the momentum if men where the one's throwing things around with their strength. As a biologist, you don't think this could be a complimentary explanation to why women have PMS instead of men?

I should really get some sleep now... Please ignore me.

Girlfriends

Last year, my friend upgraded his GirlFriend 3.1 to GirlFriendPlus 1.0 (marketing name: Fiancee 1.0). Recently he upgraded Fiancee 1.0 to Wife 1.0 and it's a memory hogger, it has taken all his space; and Wife 1.0 must be running before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw and BrotherInLaw.

Some features I'd like to see in the Upcoming GirlFriend 4.0...

A "Don't remind me again" button
Minimize button
Shutdown feature
An install shield feature so that Girlfriend 4.0 can be completely uninstalled if so desired (so you don't lose cache and other objects)
A Remote control for the these features would be a nice upgrade.
I tried running GirlFriend 2.0 with GirlFriend 1.0 still installed, but they tried using the same i/o port and conflicted. Then I tried to uninstall GirlFriend 1.0 but it didn't have an uninstall program. I tried to uninstall it by hand, but it put files in my system directory. Another problem with all versions of GirlFriend that I've used is that it is totally object oriented and only supports hardware with gold plated contacts.

***** BUG WARNING ********

Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

That's priceless!

 

[Ivan Seeking]

I still thiink that "the world is your urinal" scores pretty darn high in a pinch.

 

[Danger]

I don't know...I'm pretty sure we make them suffer along on that one.

A woman that I worked with for years was like that. I don't think that she ever actually had PMS, but she sure as hell was a carrier.

 

[Joel]

That's priceless!

It went straight to my girlfriend.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Feynman: yes
Einstein: very doubtful
Niels Bohr: Never!
Heisenberg: uncertain
Newton: probably, but just because he was a country recluse
Galileo: Italian, so absolutely

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Heck, just to prove a point, Feynman once stood on his head and peed for his friends.

I never have multiple dinners. Some nights I don't even get dinner at all!

Sorry to hear you miss dinner some nights. Maybe you're using the wrong equation. How about this one:

\int e^x

Yup, that's a pretty long symbol. Should do the trick.

ok ok, I'm going to be super lame for a minute... first of all... that's not an equation, its an expression... and secondly, its an improper expression at that... what are you integrating with respect to? you need a dx or something. how can you expect to get anywhere with a gal if you're math is all screwy? i mean c'mon now. poor math skills are a hardcore turn off!

ANYways, its a wicked beautiful day. I'm a very happy woman right now, regardless of everything else.

 

[dextercioby]

Gale,it is called "element of integration" or "Riemann measure"...

Poor math skills from a girl:major turn off indeed...

Daniel,who else...

Good dinner last night?

It's the english language disguised as mathematics. He's definitely hinting at an equation.

Gale, it's called "antidifferentiation", you don't need a . . . wait a minitue, now I'm thinking it's . . .are you joking or what? But you're right, it's not an equation. Perhaps a better phrasing would meet your requirements.

You know, antidifferentation can be done in many ways, some ways are more fun than others. The important thing is to take it slowly, taking care to do everything just right so that you arive at the right dinner . . . I mean, solution.

Also, if you're 17, then all I'll say is that truly you are a diamond in your father's eyes and I'm not the least bit interested in antidifferentiating that.
