What the hell are creeps? Should I try to avoid France, like > maybe go to Bulgium instead?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

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

I always trust you implicaplicitly.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} An apathy-poplexy seems far more likely. Cut-and-Paste scholarship is } all the rage on campus and probably features prominently in the college } records of which you speak. } } The Oracle awards you two firm swats from the Staff of Zot ...[ZOT! } ZARK!] } } The first is for an utter lack of gratitude or grovelling. } } The second is for thinking ancient Eqyptian death-Gods are more } interesting than Oracular prononcements on nudism. } } You owe the oracle a pair of Ray-Bans and a Brazillian Wax.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Think of it this way: } } THESIS: Hegel developed the Thesis, Antithesis, Synthesis theory. } ANTITHESIS: Actually, he didn't. Kant did; Hegel just referred to it. } SYNTHESIS: You're both bloody morons. The credit really belongs to } Fichte. } } You owe the Oracle a glass full of beer that contains no beer, and an } explanation of how that can be reconciled.

> Is food truck selling meth?

> Don't change the subject!

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
