The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> ERROR 404: SUPPLICANT NOT FOUND

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Oh where, oh where has my Supplicant gone.
} Oh where, oh where can he be?
} With his question cut short and his words made tall,
} Oh where, oh where can he be.
}
} You owe the Oracle a search party.  I'm sure he'll turn up eventually;
} he always does.

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> "The Oracle has pondered your question deeply."  Have you ever
> pondered my question shallowly?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Generally not. Occasionally an out-of-control incarnation may make it
} seem that way. Sometimes, though, shallowness is deliberate.
}
} Because you ask, here's a shallow answer: "Duhhh?"
}
} As you can see, it hurts my head to give that kind of answer,
} especially as it appears to question itself. Still, that's what some
} supplicants need, and it's what they'll get, as I lie to them about the
} depth of my pondering.
}
} Duhhh.
}
} You owe the Oracle the fall of a great empire and a clear explanation
} of Zen.

>
> What about the letter Krambda, used for spelling the name of Ralph

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} As an Alpha-male, the Oracle uses Zota, causing the Idiota supplicants
} to Psi themselves.

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Back in 1952 they promised me a future with:
> - Rockets to the moon
> - Check! We went there. Still waiting for more.
> - A helicopter in every garage
> - We're still waiting.
> - Rocket backpacks
> - Check! Someone in the military made one work, I think.
> - ATOMIC POWERED CARS
> - waiting, waiting, waiting.
>
> I want my atomic powered car! I was thinking development of thorium
> reactors might be the right way.
>
> Please tell me how to get my atomic-powered car. Putting a Ford Edsel
> inside a "test excursion of a nuclear device" at the Nevada Test Site
> in 1959 does not count, even if you have the time-travel ability to do
> that, which I suspect you do. Or at least you know how to, along with
> everything else you know.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Well, that's easy.  All you need to do is to buy one of the surplus
} war ships the Russian navy has laid up in Murmansk, put wheels on it,
} and you will be set to go.
}
} You owe the Oracle a way to get the DMV to approve this.  And a way to
} get fuel without having the NSA show up at my door.

}
