    For instance:

    98.5 % of all Netscape readers think ind06 is the wittiest, most charming and all around greatest person they have ever come into virtual contact with (plus or minus 98.5%).

      ((how was ind06 able to come up with these figures in so short of a time?)) ind06 lives in a box resembling a largish blue phone booth known in England as a "police box". However this box is not in actuality a phone booth but an advanced device known as Time And Relative dimensions In Space, or TARDIS. Time, therefore, means nothing to ind06.

      ((what happens to the past)) Funny little yellow and red balls full of buzzing teeth come and literally eat reality away. I call these balls "langoliers" and have one available for adoption to a good home. Just feed it a small amount of yesterday every...day...

          I have been searching for a langolier. Please advise about the adoption process. What are the qualifications to adopt? I have many yesterdays to feed it, and I have a great desire to alter reality.

        We have updated butt-facts. Unfortunately, only 19% of those so-called updated butt-facts are really updated. They continue to remain the original butt-facts that they always were.

          The whole is the sum of the parts, so based on the facts at hand I'm 80% sure that there a hole in the butt or does anyone have any crack spackle. I think this has a lot to do with asphalt. What time will the bus be here?

          A man gets on the bus late one night, staggers up the aisle, and sits next to an elderly woman.

          She looks the man up and down and says, "I've got news for you. You're going straight to h*ll!"

          The man jumps up out of his seat and shouts, "Man, I'm on the wrong bus!"

            58% of those who voted actually read the article. Of those 58% only 33.3% could comprehend what the article had to say. Another 15% could care less about what the article had to say but they voted for it anyway. The remaining 9.7% really liked the article and laughed their a$$es off, then proceeded to comment.

                Still, percentages are better than fractions for expressing such things. 4/3 of all Americans have a hard time understanding fractions.

                IND06,

                I think the possibility exists that sooner or later I may give you a tentative chance at a definate maybe on that.

                    Perhaps, I just may 2nd johnkamis64's motion, but only after further deliberation. and when I say deliberation, I mean consume vast amounts of alcohol.

                    Waffles, anyone?

                      Did you ever notice that most statistical polls state a margin of error ? -- like political polls have a margin of error of /- 110 %

                              68.3% of the public already knew that. While 57% of news outlets will quote this as fact.

                                I would guess that at least 87.8% of the facts that posters on this site use are fabricated.....:)
