Saraclese Manboobs sig:

"According to myth gypsies crafted five nails for Christ's
execution not four. The fifth nail was meant to pierce his
heart, but the gypsies hid the fifth nail from the roman soldiers.
In some stories the gypsies were punished by God for
prolonging Christ's suffering, and in others they were
rewarded for attempting to protect him. The fifth nail is
said to have been a real religious artifact with miraculous
powers. Its existence today is somewhat
questionable, unless you consider the metaphor."

- old story related to me while doing postgraduate
work at UC Davis
---------------------------------------------------------l
While there may be many problems with your idea that Gypsys
and a 5th nail had any thing to do witht he death of Christ, the
biggest is the "Gypsys" didn't exist until after 400AD!
For a short, non scholastic history, see:
http://www.geocities.com/~patrin/timeline.htm
I can supply more detailed, cross referenced links but
this one should suffice.

If in truth this was passed on as an "old story related to me
while doing postgraduate work at UC Davis", it shows how
silly universities have become.


I suspect a better explanation of the persecution of Gypsys
has more to do with their recent arrival in many places and
failure to conform to the local customs. No need to drag God
into there long time suffereing.

And of course, someone so obviously bright as yourself must see why I
would
question the sudden appearance of a new user (or a new nym), with a new
sig
file attached to a post quoting a news article that seemingly has nothing
to
do with the topic under discussion. Hmm.

My original intent was solley to tickle chulin's funny bone
in a rather bizzare way by posting a saidsame non-sequitor
response. There was no nefarious intent or
suggestion in any way meant or implied.

I'll put it down to an unfortunate coincidence. Perhaps Duncan himself
lifted it from the same site as you. I'd like to visit it myself.

Correct

But if you'd like to clear up for me just how your quoted story about
suicidal sheep related to cuhulin's post about London, and how your sig
file
related to any of the above, I'd be grateful. :)

Guess I would chalk it all up to the convergence of Venus and Mercury
in the SSW sky. (visible just after sunset right now around 8:30 PM)
Jupiter is almost overhead going to the left, with the crescent moon
moving to the same (Jupiter) for the next few nights. Very cool!

Jupiter is also a great RF noise source also. As I recall it's around 18
mHz
and a small yagi pointed in it's direction produces noticable white noise.

Any time you'd like to engage in said debate or discourse, consider me to
be
at your service...Manboobs.

I'll take a raincheck here, as I'll be in Vegas at a
Industry Trade Conference next week, but do have
a 7&7 with a Coors or Miller on my tab anytime. :)

Thanks for clearing it up! I'm not sure about him having a funny bone,
though. Just malicious ones.

Really! Thanks for the head's up. I've been neglecting my stargazing
lately. I prefer the winter sky, actually.

anymore,broad band over powerlines is coming.

Have I ever told you just how BORING you are? Repetitious, mundane, unoriginal,
lacking in creativity, narrow minded, xenophobic and borderline dense also come
to mind. Did I mention BORING?

Tracy Fort's necrophilia and a deceased seventy two year old cancer victim, who
happened to be my mother:


===============================================

Dug her ass right up! She was too damn ugly to have sex with before
she died. The old bag o bones fell apart in my hands! She didn't
complain about much either other than the lousy sex she got from those
foursomes with you, Mike and her husband.

love dem bones....dem bones....dem bones

She is very fresh but not that fresh!

Please accept my apology for abusing her. I'm sorry that I did not
toss her back into the black depths that she came from. Next time,I
will be sure to take care of that. I promise that I will refill the
hole with the dirt that came out too. In addition, I will re sod the
plot at no additional charge. Let me also apologize for the milky
substance in her left eye socket, that was an unavoidable accident.
please feel free to include this post in your sig file!

Dem Bones! Dem Bones! Dem Bones! I loved playing dem Bones!
Dem Bones! Dem Bones! Dem Bones!
I loved playing dem Bones! I ran my fingers uo and down dem bones and she began

I played dem bones like they never been played and she smiled for me all the day.

This .sig file will continue until Mister Fort posts a sincere apology to all
cancer victims and their families. His refusal to do so says more about his
attitude and upbringing than any of his thoughtless and hurtful postings in
rec.radio.shortwave. He seems to be very proud of the fact that he can buy
expensive radios using the refunded deposit money from his empty beer containers
and has frequently posted the fact. It appears he is well on his way to
purchasing his next radio.

hehe...I love dem bony women....rotten to the core.....

rattllin' bones!
