18. Is the Lock Ness Monster really a family of swimming Haggis?

This is a strange one, the real lock ness monster has been identifed several
times by experts, but scientists refute all evidence out of hand, several
pictures of the Firfirslegiganticus exist, the last known living specimin was
captured in a fishing net in norway in 1843.

Rose, are you being smutty in french?
No, it means something like, "The heart has its reasons, which reason knows nothing of." It's from Pascal's Pensées. :smile:

And, fittingly enough, it was one of the common foreign sayings in the back of my old dictionary.

Oh, is that what it meant?

I thought I had made a good start with the translation:
"The cur's ass raisins.." but then I got stuck on the "que" word.
Seems I'm not very good in french after all.. :frown:

Sure, meaning the quality of being a soft, yeasty, crusty penis.

Us Britts can control any thing, with a few minor exceptions, but you can never
understand us, that is just so absolutely noncompismentis :biggrin:

I ate it once. It was foul.

I don't see how people can think that Yorkshire Pudding is foul. I can understand why people might think that Black Pudding, or salami, or curry, or tuna is foul, but Yorkshire Pudding has to be one of the least offensive tastes and textures you can get!

Well said Brewnog, people like Arildno need educating.

I'm not sure they need educating. I just think they need to try a decent, well-cooked, Yorkshire Pudding.

That's WHY it's foul. It's practically tasteless. Just like kiwi. (Besides, kiwi has a poisonous green colour; I never eat poison-green food).

You realize he was making the argument that reason cannot know God, thus justifying taking the leap of faith because "the heart has its reasons," right?

Proper yorkie pudding is not tasteless, if cooked with the beef fat, it has a
wonderful crispy crunchy out and a soft inner.

Did you look at Welsh boy's The Family Ness link? Twas an amazing 80s cartoon about the Nessies. Lovely stuff, almost as good as Jimbo and the Jet Set.

I know I've posted this before but I can't find it... Anyway, Deepak Chopra tells it ~ like this: There was a study of the number of tactile contacts made while in a public setting, between mates [married] as a function of culture. Guessing at the actual values here... Couples from India made contact, on the average, about thirty times per hour. Couples from China touched about fifteen times per hour. In the US, it was close to five times every hour. And as for the British couples, we're still waiting!

No, I just remembered seeing it in my dictionary several years ago. I'm reading a bit of it now.

You speak of crassitude like it's a bad thing. :confused:

Has it really gotten that bad? :redface: I don't know about you know who, but I can clean up my act. o:)

I always clean myself before and after my act, so this can't possibly be a reference to me.

Brittish couples do not touch in public, only saturday nights
after 2100.

Pascal was sort of the progenitor of Kierkegaard in that way. Though he was a mathematician and keen in the use of reason, he believed that the human mind and its faculties could not apprehend the divine. The mind could never know God, and could neither prove nor disprove His existence. Nonetheless, a person can and should believe. He expanded upon the "heart has its reasons" bit with the well-known Pascal's Wager, turning the acceptance of Catholic doctrine into a cost/benefit analysis of potential rewards and/or punishments in the afterlife.

Guilty conscience? No, I was referring to those Brittish couples with Saturday night fever.

I can identify somewhat with his reasoning in the section I'm reading, as I look at the difference between jutice and mercy in a similar way.
