And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Isn't any wonder than 27 identical questions like the one

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

> Oh Oracle Most Wise,

> Frogs !

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} An intriguing hypothesis! However, you fail to take the snakes,
} slamanders, turtles, newts and various insects into account. Also,
} an *exclamation point*? Seriously, do you really think that'll work?
} Come back when you've taken care of these problems.
}
} You owe the Oracle some of whatever it is you're smoking.

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

> Oracle the vault of heaven overhead is more finite than your wisdom,

> How can I tell art from traffic signs?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} probably a traffic sign.
}
} You owe the Oracle a question requiring a bit more imagination.

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

> Wisest Oracle,
>
> How does a white car differ from some smoke on the horizon?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} A white car is very different from some smoke on the horizon because
} it is a clearly defined shape moving in a rather predetermined
} path which is established by either paved road or dirt two track
} out in the country.  Now the only known exception to this is a Mr.
} Barnes who owns a 70's era Chevy pickup that is in a bad need of a
} new head gasket.  This bondo grey and primer white pickup spends
} most of its time off road, billowing massive plumes of smoke and
} going every which way because Mr. Barnes never drives without his
} home made whiskey.  So now you know that most white cars do not look
} or behave like clouds unless it is
}
} A) producing one of its own, and/or
}
} B) its driver is in one
