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

> How can I get one of them Priapus High Breed Cars for my daughter she
> says she needs one now that she is outta highschoool. Frankie's Used
> Cars in town says he don'thave stuff like that an I don't have enuf
> money anyways how can he tell? but I don't wanna spen more than $500
> for it because I don't have that kinda money like $30,0000 dollars.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I think she wanted a Priapus High Speed Ride, not High Breed Car,
} although it is not hard^H^H^H^Hdifficult to see the confusion.
}
} You, as the father of an older teenage daughter, are quite likely
} very much in denial about the things she does privately. And you
} can be sure she is using any Priapus products in private.
}
} You are best off leaving Frankie at FUC out of it, he's a bit
} "leery" if you catch my drift.
}
} Just have your sister buy your daughter a gift certificate to a
} high quality "Bachelorette" store and then don't open any packages
} she gets for the next few weeks.
}
} You owe the Oracle some alone time with the catalogs that arrive
} in those packages.

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

> Now that it is almost the Winter Equinox (December the 21st) what
> should I know about chemistry for my science exam? Because I heard that
> when they demoted Pluto and Neptune from being Planets they also
> demoted Plutonium and Neptunium from being Elements.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} You know Neon and Cobalt and Carbon and Fluorine,
} Iodine, Bromine, and Sulphur and Argon.
} But do you recall the most famous element of all?
}
} Radium the green-tinged element.
} Had a sickly greenish tinge.
} And if you ever saw it, you would even say,
} "I need to check into a hospital right away as I've clearly been
} exposed to unacceptable levels of radiation. IT GLOWS!".
} All of the other elements
} used to transmute and change their names.
} They never let poor radium
} join in any high-school chemistry experiments.
} Then one foggy Christmas Eve, Santa came to say:
} Radium, with your glow so bright,
} won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
} Then all the elements loved him,
} and they shouted out with glee:
} Radium, the green-tinged element,
} you'll go down in history!
}
} You owe the Oracle some lead-lined gloves and the words to "I'm
} dreaming of a white Christmas, but preferably not one caused by a
} nuclear winter."

> the email delivery being delayed by several days, all thanks to our
> software going nuts and throwing the messages into a good ol' UUCP

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

}
} You owe the Oracle a few Wells.

} Was greater than that for his goat
}    Whose capricious jumping
}    The tiller was bumping
} And now it's no longer afloat.

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

> How are babies made?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Have you tried asking your mother and your father, and then comparing
} their answers to see if there was any agreement on the process? Pay
} particular attention to the words that surround phrases such as "I'll
} never understand why I," or "wasn't my idea," "God's Green Earth," "why
} she said that she was when she wasn't," "he'd pull out before," "effing
} idiot," "never found out they weren't his," and "never again."
