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

> Oracle Most Cheerful,
>
> Where is the second happiest place on Earth?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Why only stop with the second happiest place?  I'll give you the top
} ten happiest places on Earth, in reverse order:
}
} 10) The Tau Epsilon Phi party after the little sisters get
} drunk/stoned.
}
} 9) The dwelling place of any Jehovah's Witness after they get some
} person to actually *READ* the Watchtower.
}
} 8) Stephen Wolfram's workshop when he realized people would actually
} pay $50 for a picture book they believed contained actual scientific
} insight.
}
} 7) The White House when George W. Bush was given secret photographs
} proving that Osama Bin Laden is really a cross-dresser and an ardent
} gay-rights activist.
}
} 6) The backseat of Bill Gates' car when he discovers sexual intercourse
} for the first time.  (Should happen within the next 4 years, but
} I don't wish to give the specific date.  Even billionaires deserve
} *SOME* privacy)
}
} 5) The Rev. Jerry Falwell's church after he was told that Evolution
} is no considered a suitable topic for discussion in Guatemala's public
} school system.
}
} 4) Hillary Clinton's bedroom after she realized someone else was
} giving her husband sexual favors and she no longer was required to.
}
} 3) The Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, and FUBU corporate offices upon finding
} that the general public would part with hard-earned money in order
} to wear advertising for corporate giants who no longer had to pay
} well-established media outlets for the same exposure.
}
} 2) The CPA offices at Arthur Andersen when the additional shredding
} machines were found in the attic.
}
} And number one on the list:
}
} 1) The bedroom of the Internet Oracle when Lisa gets in her cowgirl
} mood and rides the bucking bronco to the... Oops, maybe you don't
} need to know all that.
}
} You owe the Oracle a...  Aww, forget it.  Who could ask for more?

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

> O mighty Oracle, who can differntiate extraordinarily
> complex functions in his head while answering the most
> difficult queries mortal minds can come up with and still
> with all 1600 chess games thou art playing in thy head at
> the same time,
>
> Why does my dictionary say sharks are fish and not mammals?
> Is having live young, rudimentary hair and being warm-
> blooded not count for anything anymore?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} <sigh>
}
} You can't say -all- sharks are warmblooded just because one
} group of them, the Mako is a bit odd. The Mako sharks due
} to circulatory oddities keep some parts of their body warm
} (the intestinal valve and stomach ), but not other parts --
} like the brain and heart and lungs and everything that isn't
} an intestinal valve or a stomach!
}
} Plus not all sharks give live birth, some sharks lay eggs.
}
} And who knows where you got the idea that sharks have hair
} from... oh.. wait a minute.
}
} The Oracle took you too literally there. Yes, it is true
} that -technically- lawyers are mammals.
}
} You owe the Oracle a cease and deist order with fries.

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

> Imposing Oracle who can pull strings and get things done,
>
> Should I run off to Alaska now that my wife has left me?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Unless you name is Ben Johnson, Wilma Rudolph, Bill Rodgers, or Emil
} Zatopek, you should probably fly.  Remember that Alaska is 90% men, 8%
} women, and 2% sled dogs.  If this appeals to you, go for it.

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

>  Please help me again improve my spellling and grammer the
>  last time didnt work good.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Well, first, if you're going to improve your grammer, don't you think
} you should ask your gramper first?  He might like her the way she is!
}
} With regard to your spellling, I reallly can't seee any diffficulty.
} You apppeal for succcor from a dilemmma I cannnot apppreciate.
}
} You owe the Oracle a shrubery.

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

> Oh Oracle most wise,
>
> Do guests beds hate the other beds?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} 'Hate' is too strong a word.  It's more like they envy the other beds.
} The regular beds get changed more often, warmed up with people sleeping
} in them, and often enough it sounds like the husband and the missus
} are having a little party in those beds.
}
} But you know what they say: "The sheets always seem less stained on
} the other side."
}
} You owe the Oracle a pillow fight.

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

> Is it true that carrots will let you see in the dark?  I need
> to see in the dark so I can check up on my husband.  I think
> he's doing things in the dark.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Yes, carrots will help you see in the dark.  Simply gather the
} following items:
}
} - One large carrot (raw)
} - One hamster wheel
} - One rodent (*)
} - Large thin elastic band
} - One bicycle dynamo
} - Two lengths of plastic coated wire
} - One low-voltage light bulb
}
} And assemble according to the diagram below:

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} in public.

} You owe the Oracle some dry-cleaned togas.
