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

> It suddenly got quiet again.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Yes. It was having trouble with the spelling, and first it got quiet,
} but then corrected itself to quite, and still wasn't sure. After trying
} queit and quote, it finally got quiet again, suddenly realizing that
} that was the correct word.
}
} You owe the Oracle a new spell of invisibility.

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

> Oracle Press proudly presents:
>
> 'Hamlet', by Louis L'Amour:

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} The tiny western hamlet of Hattan's Point is a sleepy town until the
} day that Matt Brennan seems to bring with him a heated, all out war
} that involves practically everyone in town. Matt makes friends and
} enemies with equal ease. He also finds the love of his life and is in
} hot pursuit despite her being the daughter of one of the main
} combatants in the feud. Is she named Ophelia? Find out! Read L'Amour's
} Silver Canyon.

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

> I have artism?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Artism, as you must be aware, is a spectrum disorder. Often, people go
} undiagnosed for years, as they are thought simply to have a colorful
} personality. However, with deep introspection and sometimes
} professional guidance, a fuller picture emerges. A good evaluation
} against the criteria for artism can provide the artistic individual
} with a frame of reference for so much that seemed confusing. I know
} that lately there seems to be a great hue and cry about the "epidemic"
} of artism, to the point where the media seems to be saturated with this
} dreary line, but brighten up! If you stay composed, artism doesn't have
} to be a drawback!

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

> So apparently there is a risk of thrush, but what's the mechanism
> for that?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Dear Mr. Supplicant,
}
} Thank you for your fourth letter regarding the matter. We repeat our
} request to clean up your balcony after your breakfasts.
}
} To answer your question of the mechanism of thrushes: They're bloody
} birds. They like grain and bakery products. That's why they're swarming
} over the estate each morning.
}
} Please comply and do not write us any further letters, or we will have
} to hand the matter over to our lawyers.
}
} Kind Regards
}

>
> Sincerely yours Elena

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Dearest Elena,
}
} I, the Internet Oracle, am flattered by your offer of friendship,
} however, I must admit that I suspect you may be looking for a sort of
} relationship which I am not willing to partake of with you. You see, I
} don't believe you are a 26 year old lady from Russia. I think you are a
} robot in a server in California.
}
} You owe the Oracle: Photos stolen from a mail-order bride website. You
} can keep the bride, the Oracle only wants the photos for a personal
} collection. The Oracle is very interested in "art."

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

> I'm the young lad from Iran
> Whose limericks never will scan.
> They ask me the reason.
> "Your toes that are freezin'?"
> And I tell them it's because I always try to put as many words into the
> last line as I possibly can.
>
> Please tell me something that'll warm my toes.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Socks.
}
} You owe me a limerick about socks, that is also acrostic about socks.

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

> Is Google making us stupid?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I'm here to explain mysteries, not banalities. Please don't send me
} questions that you could answer yourself within seconds with a simple
} google query.

Selected-By: Klone (aka Daniel V Klein) <dan@klein.com>

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

> I'm afraid I'm not as young as I used to be.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Your fears are well founded. Remember that Anna Russell used to say (in
} "How to Write Your Own Gilbert and Sullivan Opera"), "I'm afraid that
} my quartet singing isn't what it use to be." Remember also that she
} would then sing a quartet all by herself, including a very nasal tenor.
}
} Miss Russell has now passed over to join the Quartet Invisible,
} which she presumably sings all by herself.
}
} You, the Supplicant Invisible, are not yet dead, but being invisible
} are As Good As Dead. Check The Mikado (by G&S) for the inestimable
} virtue of being found to be As Good As Dead.
}
} You owe the Oracle your own head, snicker-snacked with a vorpal blade,
} on a platter.
