Somehow the idea of a connection between you and any rational state of
balance never occurred to me.

I suspected as much. But when I get a sample of your brain, I
will know more about why. You pass over too quickly my
applications of Aristotle, the master of the subject of balance.

Anyway, Boji, I can see we are not getting on well at the moment.
Perhaps you would care to slip into something comfortable for me.
For example, a coma.

Uh, you remember what happened to your albino cousin in "Jaws", don't
you? There was fish goulash all along the New Jersey coast. Tasty,
too. Ergo, you may find it behooves you not to mess with your
evolutionary superiors.

Sharks don't really have evolutionary superiors. They are a well
optimized design that has stayed basically the same for thousands of
millions of years.

Exhausting the limits of a primitive design hardly renders that design
superior or equal to more advanced formulations.

Humans on the other hand still get bad backs from walking upright and
frequently choke to death because they eat with their windpipes.

And they rule the world unchallenged. Go figure.

When your mother birthed you, she was late, right? The reason I know is
that God must've stored your brain in a pickle jar while He was waiting.

Boji, this cannot be a reason. It is not the sort of thing that
can be a reason. The "must've" mucks it all up. Anyway, I have no
parents, it is not like that with me.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their
shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and
you have their shoes.

You saw it... You're just being doraymeish.

If there was survival pressure to evolve beyond where we are, we would
have.

Well, in a million years of so when awareness of such pressure might
hypothetically dawn, there may be no sharks.

Nope. I've never seen "Jaws". Which does kind of disconnect me from the
PS2 game I've been playing lately -- "Jaws Unleashed", which is at least
loosely based on the film.

Well, in a million years of so when awareness of such pressure might

We will probably evolve to meet that pressure.

Thank you...thank you very much.

They go back 450 million years according to Wikipedia, with "modern"
sharks going back 100 million, which isn't all that old.

Yeah, for the first 350 million years, the sharks ran on steam. (And
they were analog, not digital.)

And now people steam sharks. And sharks are steamed about it.

Really? Why not, because of the, um, moniker? It's a good movie (-the
first one.) Dolphins especially like it.

We will probably evolve to meet that pressure.

Let's see, in a million years the Earth's resources will be depleted,
everything will be polluted, and chances are the weather will be f---ed up.
So what will you evolve into, a garbage disposal?

1. The concept seemed stupid.

2. The hype turned me off.

I've also never seen "Rocky" or "Titanic".

Don't get me wrong; I enjoy films and I love my Netflix membership.

Last few:

The Thief Of Bagdad
The Misfits
The Asphalt Jungle

Cool Hand Luke

No, just something that can live in extreme heat and live on the only
other remaining creatures -- the roaches.

I once visited the set where Jaws was "made" (if you can believe backlots at
Universal Studios) where the bus drives through the lake (the one where
where the biblical waters part, with perspex) and suddenly a SHARK leaps up.
Yep. Your mechanical mate, trying to scare little girls and such. Is that
still there? It *was* 20 or so years ago for me

I've also never seen "Rocky" or "Titanic".

It sunk. No sharks.

Saving Nemo?

There is a very very scary shark in that movie! Name's Bruce. Very big and
grey. A grey nurse IIRC. Keeps that hammerhead in line. Blinks a lot

Titanic you can have but Rocky I've seen half-a-dozen times.

All classics though top honors arguably goes to Asphalt Jungle.

Cool Hand Luke is one of my favs. Don't remember Blood Alley but have
seen it.

I've got "Apache" on order and have recently bought a bunch of semi-
oldies/oldies from Amazon. Predator, Ghost, The Score, *The Jungle Book
(Korda)*, Shane, Donovan's Reef, Robin Hood (Curtiz), and Sin City just
to name a few.

No, just something that can live in extreme heat and live on the only

That would probably do it. Course there'd probably be an ugly, hideous
predator there to persecute you, just the same. -Doraymeanies or
something equally repulsive...

I doubt that they still have that "show" any more.

In fact, I saw that about a month ago.

Hammerheads are ugly. Hammerheads are what you get when the mother does
drugs while she's pregnant.

John Wayne and Lauren Bacall. Just saw "To Have And Have Not" last
weekend, again.

ROFLMBAO.

You mean when she bumps right up into,say, a naval frigate and squashes her

Must be a bummer to give birth to those hammerheads! Like pulling nails?

And nowadays, the latest in high tech computer games also run on steam.
And these games are digital.

I don't think you _should_ have both. You should have the alt.
You may have the title if you want the tool-tip. But you are
perfectly entitled not to want this.

In Witness, John Book asks what is wrong with buttons when trying
on a suit that Rachel has modified for his size. He asks if there
is something wrong with buttons, there being no buttons. The
reply is that no buttons is plain and good. In fact, Amish
authors are forbidden by their church to have title attributes.

You should have both. IE6 displays alt tags as hovering tool tips,
which may not be relevant to most visitors. Title tags are supposed to
be visible. Alts aren't.
