You must see me, cause I'm in every mirror I look at.

Why does a mirror only reflect an image backwards from side-to-side, but not up and down?

It does, but you got to tilt your head.

Speaking of reflections, can you remember the good ole days?

They are all boring and bored, but that's not the reason they blog. They blog in order not to waste a semester of typing lessons.

Recently, or perhaps even earlier than that, a message appeared on my screen informing me that Windows xp cannot open files written in Chirplinger. This was a surprise, since I wasn't aware I was trying to do such a thing. What is Chirplinger and who uses it?

You're here to ask the question.

How do you know if you have asked the question?

Someone puts it in quote tags and posts it back to you.

But if someone quotes you as asking a question you didn't ask, how would you know you didn't ask it?

You would have to peform a DNA test.

But if the DNA test proved you had written a post you couldn't recall having written, would that mean the post had been fertilized by sperm stolen by gray space aliens?

Who else would be responsible for the new-look Physics Forum? Think about it. They've integrated themselves among us, changed our habitat to resemble their mothership and no doubt are reformatting our atmosphere as we speak, and are now busy quoting us as saying things we never did with the soul aim of stealing our sperm to prove we did say those things with which they will then impregnate the alien queen and form a new race of Thread Killers!

Sure, but hold the cherry and the vanilla and the pepper and the lemon. And the twist. And the diet. Just get me a doctor. I'm not a well man.

Why, contrary to Mk's post, is there no period in "Dr Pepper"?

The name is pointless.

If all quizzes are tests, and some quizzes are quizzical, are some tests testicles?

No, but paternity tests are related.

Can a guy force woman to take a maternity test if he doesn't know who the mother of his baby is?

No, equal rights means that he can only force her to take a paternity test.

Is it wrong in this day and age that only women have breasts? I mean, get with the times people!

Good advice. I understand the health insurance at the Times covers that procedure.

My neighbor recently bought a "hot water heater". I have a tank-y thing in my cellar that heats up the cold water and it's good enough for me. Is he just another rich yuppie showing up the neighbors?

Yeah, heating hot water. There's something incredibly lazy about it.

Recently when I was camped out on day three of my wait in an Emergency Room with yellow matter custard dripping from some kind of sinus infection I was startled into near ecstasy to hear my name called, a miracle which meant that the four hours of paperwork preliminary to becoming an official patient in waiting there was about to begin. As I crawled on all fours to the glass window, the room began swimming and swirling around me, I felt the blood leave my head, and just before I lost consciousness I'm positive I heard someone say "Hey, he don't look so good. Sumbuddy call a amulance!"

Firefox or Opera?

Madame Butterfly is playing Sydney Opera House when I'm there. So got tickets. Fair play, she must be really old. How long has she been performing now?

Some estimates are as high as 135 years, but most agree that figure is impossible. Mrs. Butterfly, herself, is typically silent on the subject, and has treated requests to carbon date her as beneath her dignity.

Why do you want to pin me to a piece of cardboard on this? Isn't a lady's age, like her opinions, subject to constant revision?

I don't think you can pin her down on this one.

Paper or plastic?

Paper, we still have many rainforests to get rid of.

Would you like to be able to teleport, or read people's minds?

Yes, a lady's, indeed anyone's, age is constantly revised in a process known as the "passage of time", the antithesis of which is "preservation".

Now, Madame Butterfly, have you met Monsieur Killing Germ?
