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

> I'm so proud of you, Oracle.  You always pull through in the end.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} That's awfully nice of you, but I've been feeling kind of awful lately
} and honestly I don't know why I do this any more, so it's not really
} accurate. You wouldn't happen to have any of those horrible VCR-tape
} thingies, would you? ...nah, thought not.
}
} Sorry to burst your little bubble of hope for the universe, man
} (and/or woman and/or indeterminate thing/creature/robot/ace of
} spades/animate pumpkin), but I'm afraid this is just the way it is.
} The Universe hates me. I hate the Universe. Who had to go and create
} the place anyway? Whoever they are, I'd like to find them and give
} them a good kick in the rear for inventing me along with it, because
} it's OBVIOUSLY ALL THEIR FAULT. I'd feel so much better if I wasn't
} invented by a madman with a talent for disorganization. Thanks, "god."
}
} I need a drink.
}
} You owe the Oracle one of those neat DIY "Bring About The Apocalypse
} In Your Basement" kits and a twelve-step plan for self-improvement,
} followed by an appointment with your psychiatrist. Oh, and a glass of
} lager.

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

> from zeus@olimpus.gr:
> On guard!

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Zeus, dude.
}
} I know things are tough and you have a lot of extra time on your hands
} with your fan base shrinking to almost nothing, but like I told you
} last week, a play-by-email fencing simulation game is not going to be a
} big win for you.

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

> Danica Patrick has crashed more than Windows 3.1. Is she trying to
> prove all the negative stereotypes about women drivers?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} No, that's not it at all. Try to understand, she's tring to emulate her
} new sponsor, GoDaddy.com. They crash all the time, too.

Selected-By: "Klone (aka Daniel V. Klein) " <dvk@lonewolf.com>

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

> If Captain Kidd and Jack Sparrow came from the wingless social insects
> of the magician Teller's partner, would they be a Gilbert and Sullivan
> musical.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I owe Lanthe! I owe Lanthe! Wait a minute, no I don't.
}
} Ahh, of course. "Alas, who loves a spaceman?" With "Little Asteroid"??
} No, that's not quite right.
}
} Rigatoni? No, that's pasta.
}
} These riddles aren't worth the trouble. You're probably thinking of one
} of these alternate titles, such as The Slave of Duty.
}
} You owe the Oracle a list of the chemical elements, set to a possibly
} recognizable tune.

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

> Asshole. Maylasian flight. What did you do?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

Selected-By: Dave <lightinchains@gmail.com>

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

> where does my soul go after I get my picture taken?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} It is still within you. What happens is that it gets pregnant of a 2D
} soul that is born as the flash vanishes. You didn't know because they
} are incredibly difficult to see them in profile.
} You owe the Oracle a Klein bottle.

}
} You really should think about upgrading your phone.
} That one was a great model and all.. the first to have 4G on Verizon.
} But I understand the battery only lasts about 10 minutes, so all you
} can do is physically assault people with it.
}
} Maybe if you actually called little Hercules every once in awhile, you
} wouldn't have so much anger built up inside.
