Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around a joke found on an oatmeal package that one user does not understand. The conversation shifts to the popularity of dinosaurs, noting that they became widely recognized over 150 years ago due to fossil discoveries and exhibitions. Participants humorously speculate that the joke might be British humor, which is often considered difficult to grasp. Several rejected oatmeal-themed jokes are shared, highlighting their lack of humor. The chat also includes lighthearted banter about baking cookies and playful interactions among users, with references to various recipes and humorous anecdotes. Ultimately, the thread illustrates the blend of humor, food, and cultural references, while the original joke remains a point of confusion.

You mean I just proposed to Wolram??! Holy cow! Is that what I said?

well, we both do like robots, I guess. It's not a complete mismatch.

Er, or is that a wedding? What do you throw at an engagement?

Sorry this is OT, but has anyone watched or listened to the Russell Peters stand-up bit, about how asians don't invite westerners to their weddings, because they throw the food around. He gave me a really good mental image, of an indian guy at a wedding throwing mashed potatoes at the bride and groom.

Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not polite to speak in gibberish.

It's funny because of London.
Yes she did, and she also told me that the best test of manners, was How well mannered you could be towards somone not so well mannered.

Could you explain the second Comment Please, I don't understand the un-explained part.

I had asked if 'a Cookie was a good thing, with a coffee' in a Code you haven't learned, yet? Me too, I haven't learned all that much of it all, just yet.
