Oh DUH Pie.

BETTER AT CONJURING SPIRITS.

In your opinion, which is the same as mine, they are equally good at conjuring spirits.

I would like to hear what those folks who think a Ouija board has even a remote possibility of contacting spirits think, and why cardboard is a better ghost conjurer than the intrawebz.

Shawnee, it wasn't a devil eating your brain, it was my pre-death, evil spirit, that came by to swallow your soul, and to carry it in my fowl womb. And on to the 7th level of hell, to vomit it on a demon's new 3 piece suit. So the 7 demon daughters could unfold their master plan to steal your first born bebbe'. Makes sense? K?

BWUAHAHAHAAA! *evil grin*

I know how to party with the Ouija what can I say?

But that brings me to the question: are wedgies suitable for 11 year olds?

Oh the indicator has swung to yes!! Wow!!!

You don't need a ouija to conjure a devil. I eat spicy food for the same effect, myself.

Oh, great. Reports are coming in - the entire Eastern Seaboard is alive with talk of incidents of paranormal activity. Alleged ghost sightings and related supernatural occurances have been reported across the entire Tri-State area.

I'm looking out my window at the Stay Puft Marshmallow man right now.

Cats and dogs living together ... and something about a giant Twinkie.

At the same time, he had a full-blown obsession with umbrellas. He couldn't pass an umbrella display in a store without pitching a massive fit to be allowed to get one. We eventually "solved" this by buying up 18" umbrellas at the dollar store, so he'd always have his own umbrella.

But the Mary Poppins <-> umbrella connection was obvious. We were worried he'd decide to hop off the stairs so he could fly with the umbrella.

Yabbut, Labrat's question yielded the answer 9 inches. Maybe it gets the answer right, but the answer is to the wrong question?

It is weird though, that it knew she was looking for a number.


Now I'm scared.

Actually, it just answered "9"--with no units specified. It might 9 feet or 9 nanometers or, for that matter, 9 days.

Ahem. Yeah, I knew that. That was why the 9 was italicized. However, any other explanation did not fit my double entendre. So there...hmmph.

<serious>It just twigged on the phrase "how much". Easy enough to program a short list of "quantifier" type questions, etc. Then hook it up to a random number generator. </ly>
