}
} Hello. I'm Dick Limper, president of the Committee to Remove and
} Eliminate All Sexual Evil (CREASE). I would like to say something to
} all you youngsters out there who read these Oracularities.
}
} Sex is bad!
} Not only that, it's yukky!
} Look, let me show you some examples.
} Here is a picture of a celibate male.
} [Holds up a picture of Arnold Schwartzenegger].
} Here is the same man after several weeks of intense sexual activity.
} [Holds up a picture of a leper]
} Here is a picture of a celibate female.
} [Holds up a picture of Elle Macpherson]
} And after intense copulation?
} [Holds up a naked picture of Bella Abzug]
}
} Well, the results are conclusive! Sex isn't good for you.
} So come on! Satisfy those urges some other way. The world would be a
} much better place if everyone channeled that evil sexual energy into
} more useful pursuits, like reading the Bible or beating up minorities.
}
} This message brought to you by Industrial-strength Fundamentalists,
} Inc., who have recently bought a large share of the Usenet Oracle.

} We now return you to the regularly scheduled Oracularity, already in

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

> Tell me, tell me, tell me.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Well, all right, but only if you promise to go right to sleep
} afterwards.
}
} Once upon a time, there was a prince named Silurian.  He was tall and
} fair and handsome and wealthy, and what he loved more than anything else
} in the world was heavy construction equipment.  Because he was wealthy,
} he had a construction site built in the palace garden, and he used to
} spend his days digging holes with his backhoe, pushing dirt around with
} his bulldozer, or setting girders into position with his crane.  All the
} butlers and the maids from the palace had to put on hardhats and act as
} other workers on the site, but they didn't like this very much because
} they always got their clothes dirty and the Queen would yell at them.
}
} Now, one day, Silurian was excavating in readiness for a new office
} tower -- "Bite, dump!  Bite, dump!" he'd say to himself as the shovel
} took another load and dropped it into the waiting dumptruck -- when all
} of a sudden Jesus Christ appeared.  He just materialized in the hole,
} just where Silurian was about to take another bite.  He was sitting on a
} donkey, and was carrying a Sony Walkman, but Silurian recognized him at
} once from the picture on the wall in the church where the King and the
} Queen made him go every Sunday.
}
} "I have a special mission for you," Jesus called up to Silurian.  "You
} must take this to Mother Teresa in Calcutta." As he said this, a
} cylinder materialized in Silurian's hand.  It was green and shimmering,
} and although it had no pattern on it, when Silurian looked at it, it
} seemed as if he could see every pattern and every color all at once.
} "But why can't you .  .  .  ?" Silurian called out to Jesus; but it was
} too late, and he had vanished.
}
} So Silurian called his travel agent and booked a flight to Calcutta, and
} even though he was wealthy he got a cheap fare by booking seven days in
} advance and staying over Saturday night, for it is by such methods that
} the wealthy become and stay that way.  In any case, he welcomed the
} delay of seven days, for he was entranced with the beauty of the green
} cylinder, and was pleased to be able to keep it a little longer.
}
} Meanwhile, in Islamabad, in the dingy cellar of a coffee shop, two
} desperate members of the Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Everything
} Non-Islamic were plotting.  The plastic surgeon they had kipnapped had
} responded to their threats of torture and had agreed to do as they
} demanded.  An old woman walked in the door.  "Mother," cried the younger
} man, "You have come!" "Yes, my son," she replied, "I am willing to play
} my part for Islam and the destruction of the government of India."
} "Then," said the other man, who had been silent up till now, sucking on
} a goat, "You are willing to be turned into a replica of Mother Teresa
} and take her place when we abduct her!"
}
} Just at the moment, Mother Teresa herself was on her knees on the dusty
} floor of her Calcutta orphanage, wiping up the blood and spittle with
} the corner of her habit, when a pair of feet came into her field of
} view.  They were not the feet of a street beggar, but the strong, feet
} of a healthy young man barely twenty.  She looked up, and found herself
} staring into one of the most handsome faces she had ever seen.  "I am
} Brother Stigmata," he said, "I have been assigned to work with you." But
} Mother Teresa's mind was not on what he said but one what she felt.  For
} the first time since she was a young teenager, she felt desire for the
} body of another human being.  "But no!" she thought to herself, "I
} mustn't!"
}
} But by the time Silurian had landed in Calcutta one week later, she had
} shared the young priest's bed not once but three times.  "Eternal
} damnation is a small price to pay for this beauty," she would say to him
} each time.  So when the handsome Silurian came knocking on her door, she
} at first thought he was from the Vatican and had come to take her to
} hell.  Before Silurian could explain his mission, however, the sound of
} mortar fire, close by, was heard, and Vytautis Landsbergis pushed his
} way through.  "Do you have a piano?", he asked breathlessly, "I need to
} send a message to the Kremlin.  They've cut all --
}
} -- Oh, you're asleep already.  Thank goodness!
}
} When you wake up, you owe the Oracle a bedtime story from Newsweek.

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

> Oh great Oracle, whose whatever whatever whabatever, what is the
> smurfiest sex toy of all?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Ah, my child, your repression shows through in the misspellings in the
} question.  I'll answer quickly so you can be relieved.  Setting aside
} cyan coloured dildos and inflatable Smurfette dolls (which are certainly
} smurfy sex toys) there are a few choices for the smurfiest sex toy of
} all.
}
} First, there's the Grampa Smurf Pneumatic Orgy machine.  This is for
} when you want group sex but are a party of one.  Measuring 9 foot by 12
} foot, this cyan latex and animitronic wonder simulates a fun frolicking
} time with the whole Smurf gang.  Operated by two small air compressors
} (only 40dB) it is full of pulsating penises and vibrating vulvas to
} satisfy the needs of the most demanding customer.  Also, it can be
} useful to make any couple or threesome into a larger party.  (Some
} assembly required, 220V house current required.)
}
} Next, did you know that Smurfberries make great Ben Wa balls?  Yes, it's
} true, the smooth softness make for a unique experience for you and your
} lover.  Plus, they add a delightful flavour to cunnilingus afterwards.

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

> Why do women wear so much makeup?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} OK, buddee, let me tell you a little something about how women are.
} Women are kind of like digital watches.  They have these two little
} buttons in front, and a small readout area with four LED or LCD digits,
} plus a couple of flashing colons, on the front.  If you put them in a
} microwave, they go totally crazy and afterwards they have no idea what
} time it is.  Nerds like to wear them on their left arms.  IS THAT
} PERFECTLY CLEAR?
}
} Now, also, women are like motorcycles.  If you ride them, they go VROOM
} VROOM VROOM down the streat, waking everyone up.  They get about 50-70
} miles to the gallon, especially (in the case of women) if you feed them
} Southern Comfort.  They can also do your income taxes.  If you fix them
} up with nice hair and dinner, they sometimes will wait out in the
} parking lot for a few hours while you are shooting pool or drinking beer
} with the guys, but you got to remember to tye them up if you're in a
} city or else they might get stolen.  Also you should NOT DRIVE DRUNK,
} not even if you're a woman, but I think you get the general idea.
}
} So that's why they wear makeup.
}
} You owe the Oracle one large lock, and a big can of makeup.

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

> Is there a magic spell that would change me temporarily into Lisa's
> bra?  Spending a few hours pressed against those terrific tits would
> be great.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Well, frankly, Lisa usually doesn't wear a bra.  What lingerie she does
} wear ends up getting very hard use:  torn, burst at the seams, that sort
} of thing.  She likes it rough, you know -- not so much rough on herself
} but on what little clothing she's wearing.  If her lover isn't
} enthusiastic enough she'll tear it herself.  So even if the Oracle could
} give you such a spell (and the only one that exists is one that would
} change you into a bra, which someone would have to mail to Lisa and she
} would have to wear), you would probably end up dmamged, and on
} metamorphosis back into human form would die quickly of massive trauma.

} Obviously a forgery.  God is omniscient and does not need a remote

} stuff.
}
} The scroll in question was faked in 1986 by Harold McGill of Hamilton,
} Ontario.  The reference to Nickelodeon is because McGill has the hots
} for Christine on "You Can't Do That on Television" (so has the Oracle --
} cute little wench, isn't she?) and wanted to put in an oblique reference

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} There, there.  Some of the Oracle's incarnations haven't the new kinder,
} gentler personalities that are so vital these days.  But most of us have
} had new personalities implanted to make us all gooey and sticky- sweet
} and sensitive and caring, even towards dead people and people who give
} assumed names such as those of dead movie stars.
}
} The Oracle really cares deeply about you.  Honestly.  The Oracle would
} like to give you a great big hug and kiss, and tell you that your
} neediness is okay, that your sensitivity is okay, that what you do with
} goats and foundation makeup and surgical tubing and red silk stockings
} is more than just okay, but deeply a part of you that makes you all the
} more human and real.  What you like doing with the little boys and the
} Weed-Eater and the activated charcoal and the dead goldfish and the
} industrial-grade Bostitch power stapler is deeply touching and real and
} warm and human and an example and a lesson to all of us.
}
} The Oracle really wants to comfort you and help you become happy with
} your very natural and human shortcomings that in unelightened times
} would have put you in noisome nasty prisons, gnawed by rats, or in a
} lunatic asylum to be the butt of visitors.  But nowadays we are wise and
} caring and tolerant, and the Oracle hopes that this little heartfelt
} note to you will bolster your self-esteem and keep you along the path to
} true self-acceptance and self-realization.  The Oracle would not think
} to call you a filthy stinking pervert who should be tortured to death or
} at least locked up with the key thrown away.  Oh, no.  It's great to
} live in such an enlightened age when all the repressive Puritan
} religiosity is being stripped away and we can be truly loving regardless
} of race, age, sex, creed, marital status, national origin, species,
} genus, class, phylum, aliveness-or-deadness-or-animateness.
}
} You owe the Oracle the complete works of Carl Rogers.
