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

> Oh most kind and wonderous one, who does allow his servants air
> conditioning in the springtime and wet towels all summer, please
> enlighten me. Why do they think that the terminals will be damaged more
> by opening the windows to let in the 70 degree weather than by leaving
> them shut to hold in the 85 degrees inside?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

}         I hate to tell you this, but they don't. This rule is a
} joint effort of two factions: the computer operators, who want
} better machines than the obscelete shit you have; and the
} administration bureaucrats, who hate computers. Both sides
} therefore want the machines to die. The solution to your problem
} is to kill all of the bureaucrats where you are, and get new
} state of the art equipment in decent facilities.
}         Actually, why don't you just kill all of the bureaucrats?
} That way you don't need to think about if they are where you are
} or not.
}
}         You owe the ORACLE framed pictures of Thomas Jefferson
} and Adam Selene; an update on the whereabouts of Kelvin Throop;
} and one bloody revolution.

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

> Is it really possible to play Twister with Death?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Of course, like, though that is ya know, like, usually one of thuh
} options of Twister that isn't played with (the death penalty).
} Seriously, man, if you can manage to die and become a spirit so that
} you get a chance to actually hold a contest with Death (assumin' he
} still does this in lieu of all his highly publicized defeats), fer
} shure, the odds are pretty bitchin' that you are not goin' to win.

} minutes straight (while they're awake).

> Ohh yeah.... Ohh great and mighty Oracle,

}
} <a bit more consulting, 'cause there's a lot of future>
}
} ... ah yes, here we are:
}
} Publishing sensation of the year was, however, A. Dweeb with his book
} "Great and Mighty Oracle".  This publication took the literary world by
} storm when everyone realised it was the first work of fiction with NO
} PLOT WHATSOEVER.  Dweeb managed to introduce new characters with nearly
} every paragraph, and forget about them by the end of the same
} paragraph. A sample extract follows:
}
}       John wondered about the affair between Susan and Hector, and
}       wondered what he should do about it.  The elephant took hold
}       of the cucumber sandwich and, very deliberately, threw it at
}       the dartboard, and the Bulgarian retired to bed.
}
} (None of these characters was ever mentioned again, although the
} cucumber sandwich was mentioned in a footnote several hundred pages
} later). The closest the story ever came to having a plot was:
}
}       "Oh Sharon"
}       "Oh Lawrence"
}       "Oh Sharon"
}       "Oh Lawrence"
}
} ... and so on for seven pages, until a sixteen-ton weight fell upon
} Lawrence's left knee.

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

> Oh most Beloved and Powerful One whom I kneel before in admiration and
> terror, if you can find it in your heart to answer a small question
> from one of your weak and pitiful servants, please enlighten me:  has
> the orbit of Earth (the mortal inhabitants which, incidentally, pale in

> split-second, or the whole concept of "leap days" and "leap minutes" a
> cruel hoax conjured up late one night by some drunken astronomer?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Well, you see it all started around the time when astronomers weren't
} much respected... wait.. that hasn't happened yet in your time frame.
}
} But even before your current time where astronomers and astrologers are
} always getting confused, astronomers were looked upon as a bunch of
} dreamy wierdos who were only interested in looking at the sky.  Sure...
} they said that they could see things like Jupiter and stuff, but no one
} thought that telescopes were much more than a complicated slide
} projector.
}
} Early in your century Volf I. Lentil gathered the astronomers of the
} world together at the First Congress of Social Outcasts, later renamed
} to simply the First International.  The members of the congress were
} split into factions, some, the Bullsheviks, favored running a big scam
} on the word, the others, Mushiviks, were much more concilliatory and
} wanted to make amends with the world, especially the North.  Lentil, a
} Bullshevik managed to gather a small majority and the congress voted in
} favor of coming up with a cruel hoax.  The Bullsheviks briefly
} entertained using the word "Bolshevik" to represent their faction, but
} when they realized it was a Russian word, meaning "those in the
} majority," they felt it undermined the fact that they were the
} discriminated-against minority.
}
} The Congress broke into more factions over what kind of hoax to play on
} the world:
}
} The Sunsheviks advocated telling the world that the planet was going to
} hit the sun.  That idea was quickly shot down but a rousing speech by
} Lentil, where he proved the total stupidity of that view, quoting
} authorities such as Merenge and Earwax (Famous Lichteinsteinian
} astrologers/astronomers).
}
} The Centrists hoped for a united Astronomer's Party that supported the
} notion that New York was really the center of the universe.  A lot of
} squabbling broke over New York vs. Paris vs. Moscow vs. Prague vs.
} Rangoon, etc.
}
} Lentil couldn't take this, and in yet another rousing speech he cried:
} "astronomers of the world unite!  you have nothing to lose but your...
} you have nothing to lose!"
}
} Lentil came up with the brilliant plan to establish a leap-year system
} in order to convince the population of the legitimacy of the
} astronomers (while at the same time hosing on them) as well as
} confusing the small part of the population born on that unfortunate
} date.  Are they 4?  or 16?   If the legal driving age is 16 when do
} they get to drive?  The implications are/were amazing.
}
} The congress sat stunned for a whole two days.  The idea was obviously
} brilliant.  On the third day, the idea was ratified, and the congress
} set themselves to the task of convincing the world.  In the 1930s the
} main astronomer to do this (he took over Lentil's position after a
} bizarre observatory accident in 1924) was Stalling.  Stalling succeded
} in blocking many reputable astronomers from revealing this untruth.  He
} died in 1953 as a hero to the astronomer's union, remembers as saying,
} "Onward to the victory of Confusion!!"
}
} This is how the leap year came about.
}
} You owe the Oracle a "Sexual-position-a-day" calendar.

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

> Oh great and powerful Oracle,
> All-knowing, All-seeing, All-hyphenated Oracle,
> Answer me this:
> Is there life on earth?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Well, hundreds of years ago there used to be life on Earth, but now it
} is just a wasteland.  It all started in the year 1992, when the United
} States re-elected George Bush to the White House.  Unfortunately, due
} to a typographical error, Bush's name was switched with his
} running-mate on the electorial college ballots, and months later, Dan
} Quayle was sworn in as commander in chief.  This caused considerable
} panic amongst the world, and as a result, the space colonialization
} program began in earnest.  Within a year, seven million people had
} departed for Mars. As it turned out however, Quayle proved to be the
} worlds greatest leader.  By the end of his third year, he had wiped out
} world hunger, homelessness, the drug problem, and the threat of atomic
} weapons.  As Quayle himself said while accepting his third Nobel Peace
} Prize in 1996, 'Who knew?' (this was accompanied by his how famous
} shrugged shoulders gesture).
}
} Problems in space, however, were worsening.  Among the seven million
} colonists were five million engineers, 1.7 million computer experts,
} 52,000 politicians, 52,000 assorted swimsuit models and porn film
} stars, 81,000 'top level' executives, 34,000 men and women of god (all
} religions), Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker,  10,100 interior designers, 17
} painters and wall-paperers, 30,000 lawyers (these were used as ballast,
} and due to a serious design flaw, food and air wasn't available to them
} during the eighteen month spaceflight), 38,000 doctors and nurses,
} 2,880 cooks and chefs, and one janitor.  Needless to say, the place was
} a mess (literally).  They soon learned the folly of leaving Earth so
} unprepared, and decided that the only course of action was to go back.
} This they planned to do, as soon as they could find the spaccraft keys
} in all the mess.  These people are our ancestors.
}
} Meanwhile, back on Earth, Quayle was running out of things to do.  He
} stabalized international finance, saved the ozone layer, brought the
} passenger pigeon back from extinction, found Noah's Ark, went over
} Niagra Falls in an innertube, starred with Arnold Schwarzenegger in
} Terminator 7: Jason Lives, and found a cure for Cancer, AIDS, and the
} common cold.  His popularity was incredibly high (except with the
} Democrats, who claimed he was 'just getting lucky.').  This greatly
} annoyed the three surviving presidents on Earth, Ford, Carter, and Bush
} (Nixon revealed the fact that he really was a space alien in 1993, and
} Reagan left for Mars, along with his new wife, Traci Lords) who formed
} the evil triumvernate.  These three plotted to kill Quayle, and on his
} African expidition to find Elvis, they ambushed his camp, and noogied
} him to death.
}
} The entire world went into mourning, and decided to erect an 'eternal
} flame' to his memory.  Thousands of designs were considered, and the
} eventual winner was six year old Billy Thornhill who suggested that
} 'we use the sun as the eternal flame.'  As usual with governmental
} projects, the idea got out of hand.  A large holder was constructed in
} Quayle's home state of Indiana, and the Earth was slowly moved closer
} to the sun, until someone realized that maybe this wasn't such a good
} idea after all.  But by then it was too late, and within a few weeks,
} the oceans dried up, and the Earth became the barren wasteland it is
} today, incapable of supporting life.
}

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

> Why birds don't fly upside down?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} It has been noted by many historians of nature that both
} birds and mammals evolved at the same sort of time, that
} is when dinosaurs were dying out.
}
} It is therefore true that birds and mammals were, and
} have been ever since, competitors for supremacy in the
} battle to be "king order" on the planet.
}
} Now you may think, and it doesn't seem, on the face of
} it, too much of an unreasonable assumption, that the
} mammals have done fairly well in this competition, what
} with cats eating birds, bull terriers giving budgies
} heart attacks in their cages, humans flying along in
} 747s sucking birds into the engines, chicken and turkey
} being human (and cat) menu item number 1 in the holiday
} season, duck shooting, etc etc etc

} However, birds do have one significant advantage in this
} ongoing power struggle. And it came as a result of one
} clever bird, flying along one day spiralling through
} all sorts of orientations as birds once did as habit,
} realizing that (1) if he stuck to one orientation during
} flight then he would be a lot less dizzy, and (2) this
} meant he could see where he was going.
}
} This bird went on to present a paper at the next major
} bird conference on safety in flying and for his efforts
} he recieved the title "Emeritus Professor of Flight" at
} the local bird university.
}
} There remained, however, after it had been decided that
} a fixed orientation was a good idea, the question of
} what that orientation should be. Many researchers lost
} their lives testing different orientations, like the
} poor sparrow that flew backwards and upside down into the
} mouth of a leopard, and the hummingbird that flew feet
} first into a ruptured rubber plant, remained stuck and
} starved to death. Finally the original research bird who
} had started the whole fuss presented a paper on the
} offensive potential of different orientations of flight.
}
} And this was how the current orientation (which you would
} call right side up) was decided upon. It was obvious to
} all that this has the single greatest offensive potential
} in terms of pure HUMILIATION of any orientation. And no
} mammal has yet come up with an effective counter measure.
