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

> Intrepid, randy Oracle, could you recite a juicy part from the
> suppressed Finnish saga "Heroes of the Sauna"?   Humble thanks.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Here we go, one "Heroes of the Sauna" coming up:
}
}       Finn the man was dirty and smelly
}       Smelled like a B.O. demon from Helle.
}       Said,"I gotta get clean, and I am gonna,
}       Do it in that nice hot steamy sauna."
}
}       He got in the sauna and did espy
}       A naked female sitting close by.
}       Said,"I came in to get clean, just me and my ducky,
}       but with a little luck <SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE>
}
}       SMUT ALERT SMUT ALERT SMUT ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
}
}
}       THIS IS THE PMRC SMUT DETECTION SQUAD.  YOU ARE RECEIVING AN
} ILLEGAL SMUTTY TRANSMISSION FROM THE NET.ORACLE.  IT HAS BEEN
} INTERDICTED AND THE DATA CONTAINED THEREIN CONFISCATED.  YOU WILL BE
} CONTACTED BY THE NET.THOUGHT POLICE CONCERNING THIS TRANMISSION.  WE
} WILL HAVE MANY QUESTIONS.
}
}         this is a notice from the net.oracle.  my net.poetry.  server
} has been confiscated by the net.thought.police, pmrc division.  all
} poetry replies will be delayed indefinitely.  the net.oracle thanks you
} for your patience.

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

> There's Liquid Paper and Liquid Nails and Liquid Rubber and other such
> products.  Why not Liquid Girl?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

}     The product "Liquid Girl", trademarked and rather secretly
} distributed by Beatrice Foods ("Beatrice -- we own you"), has been a
} very mysterious product for many years.  It is bottled in a 30-liter
} plastic unrecyclable bottle and is a red solution with a curved
} applicator (for hard to reach places).  It is a mass-production wonder;
} once applied from the bottle, the girl hardens within minutes and forms
} a definite epidermis and facial features.  In about half an hour, the
} girl is complete and ready to function.  The finished product is
} definitely a far cry from the ingredients, which the package lists as:
} Sugar, Spice, Nice things.
}
}     You are probably familiar with the monthly "menstrual cycle" of the
} girl.  It is, of course, not blood being ejected from the body at all,
} but rather some unformed liquid from the original application; that is,
} internal liquid which never hardened or was somehow loosened or
} reliquified.  The girl's frequent irrational behaviour while this
} happens is because her own embarrassing synthetic origin is being
} revealed.  Real girls will not be afflicted with this.
}
}     Naturally, "Liquid Boy" is another well-hidden product in this well-
} hidden product line.  This product has remained more secretive due to
} frequent complaints from animal rights activists regarding ingredients
} it uses, including snails and dehydrated puppy tails, and Beatrice has
} attempted to promote the vegetarian version over the meat version to
} appease the protesters.

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

> I lie awake but cannot move.  As a fly walks across the face of my
> retina, I suddenly remember, I was once a flying man-pig.  My thoughts
> blurr into a montage of thoughts:
>
>                 smiling nuns on horseback,
>                 jumper cables with only three clips,
>                 40lb bag of purina pig chow,
>                 pink paperclips,
>                 human feet,
>                 the doublemint twins mud wrestling,
>                 saturday afternoon hose-downs,
>                 a nice ass with a good and curled up tail.
>
> As the fly reaches the far side of my eye, my vision ends.
>
> What does this all mean?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Ah, child, child, would that I could concoct an answer worthy of this.
} Well I bloody can't.  Actually, you were no flying man-pig but a female
} impersonator working under the stage name "Bogus Betty," specializing in
} heavy flirtation during your nightclub act.  But man-pig memories are
} more soothing, and the nuns and Doublemint twins and the like more
} wholesome, so these imagined memories are probably more healthy for you
} psychologically...

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

> Since you charge us an answer for every question we ask, what is the
> street value of a question?  Are you saving all these questions to buy
> Iraqi oil when the market collapses?  Am I paranoid?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} The Omnipolite Oracle will defer this question to his divine and
} all-knowing stock broker, Hee B. Griedie.
}
}       "The street value of a question to the Omniscient Oracle
}        depends largely on the open market conditions, of course,
}        combined with fluctuations in the time-space continuum,
}        the current size of Dolly Parton's knockers, and the
}        going rate for a Bill Cosby concert ticket, front row
}        center.  Currently, the street value of a question is
}        about 3.5 cents, or 3E58 pesos.
}
}        As to whether or not the Oracle would save all these
}        questions in order to purchase interests in the major
}        Iraqi oil commodities, I can only answer with the disclaimer
}        that the Omniscient Oracle, in his all-knowing way, does
}        not usually interfere in the business of mortals, for he
}        knows that in doing so, he could severely upset the market
}        and turn in a humongous profit for himself.  I, on the
}        other hand..."
}
}       <<<<ZZZAAAPPP!!!>>>>
}
} You owe the Oracle another stock broker.

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

> Wise Oracle,
>       Do you do circumcisions?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Yes.  I do circumcisions.  I also do circumscriptions, subscriptions,
} circumspections, inspections, despections, tropical storms, flatulence,
} anagrams, circumstances (including circumstantial evidence, manufactured
} to spec by a crew of brave tiny gnomes.), circles, circumferences,
} inferences, infiltrations, filtrations, fibrillations, gorillas,
} marriages, and spaghetti.  Mostly spaghetti.
}
} I do not do open heart surgery.
}
} I also do not do distractions, peregrinations, adulterations (not to be
} confused with adultery, which is both compulsory and forbidden to
} capitalists), stock exchanges, maraschino cherries, teeth of the
} deoxyribonuclease slug, harbingers, palindromes ("SIT ON A POTATO PAN,
} OTIS"), flagrances, fragrances, psychic Doritos (or other Mexican food),
} professional baked potatoes, and other delicacies.
}
} Understand?

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

> Did Sam I am have yams and Spam after he had green eggs and ham?
>                                               -- Dr S.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I am Sam!  Sam I Am!
} I never eat green eggs and ham!
} I just purvey them.  Sam I Am
} Will just promote green eggs and ham,
} Not eat them. I like yams and Spam!
}
} I really like them when at sea
} I like them after sodomy
} I like them when on tenterhooks

> unintelligible things concerning the recent conquest of France by

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Get a new thesis advisor.  Thesis advisors are the root of all evil.

} by Blackened Sabbath.
}
} Oh boy!
} Oh boy!
} Let's sacrifice some mongooses to Satan!
} Let's do it now!
