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

> Please send me some new south whales. My cousin Edweird says he wants
> new south whales for a Xmas present and that they are not the size I
> would think, so that means they have to be a lot smaller. That would
> mean you can fit one into a attanchmint to your reply. I guess I
> spelled that worng. Maybe a picture of a whale would do. He also
> mentioned prints of whales.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I'm out of whales. I have sent him the United Snakes of America.

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

> I wanted to change my password, and I thought I would change it to
> *****. The computer was rude to me and said my ***** was too short. How
> could it know? My ***** isn't REALLY too short, is it?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Oh, don't worry. Size does not matter, at least not solely. Other
} numbers do too. A foreign or special character tends to improve
} suitability as well. There's also a good argument that if it stands for
} something bigger than initially visible, then despite looking a bit
} random at first, it it can be very memorable, which is important, too.
}
} You owe the Oracle a less male dominated tech industry.

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

> Please teach me the "okey-dokey" dance.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} You have misunderstood, the Oracle teaches the 'OWie-OWie' dance.  The
} lessons include having one of my priests (disguised as the tooth
} fairy) sneak into your house, sprinkle Lego pieces, hazel nuts, d4
} dice and marbles around your bed and remove all light bulbs while
} you're sleeping.  Then he'll set the smoke detector off.
}
} You don't owe me anything, I'll get my reward from America's Funniest
} Videos. (Oh, I guess I forgot telling you about the night vision
} cameras.)

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

> This question is about middle initials. As you already know, my middle
> initial is W, and yours is, of course I. I am not you, no matter how
> appealing that thought may be. At least not now, not precisely now.
>
> What I want is the middle name of the famous explorer, Dr. Livingstone
> I. Presume. I can pretty much guess it's not Internet, like yours. "Dr.
> Livingstone Internet Presume" sounds especially stupid, and if it were
> my name I would go and hide inside some dark place in Africa. Probably
> in a lion or a hittopopamus. For Christmas.
>
> So who is I?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} 'Incarnation'.
}
} You see, although your history books never mention it, Dr. Livingstone
} was a notorious queue drainer.  When the supplicants finally found
} him, he fled to Africa in an attempt to escape the lynching mob, but
} he didn't count on Stanley's endurance and determination.
}
} You owe the Oracle more questions.

} Bad news, supplicant.  You owe the Oracle, well, you know.
