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

> Am I really addicted to vibrators and cocaine?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Well, you would be, except that you are rubbing the cocaine in your
} crotch and sticking the vibrators up your nose.
}
} You owe the Oracle an orgasm and a can of Jolt.

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

> Why does emacs start up in a buffer called *scratch*?  Is it any
> relation to Old Scratch, the Devil?  Should I be concerned about this as
> a devout Fundamentalist?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I do believe it is already too late.  I'm greatly distressed to hear
} that you have discovered this, my son.  Emacs originally stands for Evil
} Manifestation Also Called Satan.  A great time of evil shall soon befall
} computer users around the world, although most will be unaware.
} However, you, having discovered this, will be greatly punished by the
} almighty evil one.  Draw a pentagram around your computer, and chant
} "Oh, great computer gods, free me from Emacs.  I swear by my Unix manual
} that I will worship vi from this time forth"
}
} You owe the Oracle a real editor.

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

> Why do I have holes in my jeans?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} 1. One hole is for your waist
} 2. One hole is for your left leg.
} 3. Two holes are for your right leg.
} 4. One hole is for you to stick your penis out, so that it can wave
}    merrily in the wind.
} 5. One hole is for your potted fern.
} 6. One hole is so that your girlfriend can fondle you intimately in
}    public places without either of you getting too embarrassed, until
}    you start screaming "I'm coming!  I'm coming!" and a big wet spot
}    appears at your groin.
} 7. One hole is for your nose.
} 8. You cut one hole yourself so that you wouldn't have to drink out of
}    urinals any more.
} 9. You cut the last hole yourself as a protest of the planned U.S.
}    invasion of Nebraska.  Your protest was effective.
}
} You owe the Oracle a new pair of jeans.

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

> Oh Oracle, most [however one desscribes an Oracle], tell me...
>
> Do you ever get a vacation? If so, where do you go?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} If you care about your karma, and don't want to spend your next
} forty-six incarnations as a nameless slug, you should address me in
} terms such as:
}
} "most illustrious and divine Oracle, who knoweth all, whose gaze causeth
}  petroleum jelly to solidify, whose breath maketh dragons wince and
}  whose excrement this mortal worm is unworthy to lick"
}
} Then, to your main question.
}
} The only real vacations I get is when iuvax is down.  Then, I go to the
} net.black.hole and read vintage news messages.  (As a divine being, I'm
} an exception to the rule that nothing escapes from a black hole).
} Sometimes, I squeeze myself onto a floppy disk and have interesting
} conversations with a bootstrap loader.
}
} But for 99 % of the time, iuvax is up, and I'm constantly occupied
} reading mail and passing it on to my various avatars.  This is not as
} bad as it sounds, though.  Since I've mastered the true art of
} multitasking, I hav a practically unlimited amount of time available for
} other activities, such as kinky sex with the net.sex.goddesses.  So I
} really don't need any vacations.
}
} You owe the Oracle a nude photo of the girl who plays Vanessa on the
} Cosby show.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} It is not always wise to trust people high up in the Hierarchy of Hell.
} (Actually, it's a Descending Hierarchy, so they're really low down, but
} no matter.) Still, I suppose I had better check.

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

> What would a porno smurf film have as it's major story plots?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Let's see.  Orton's Condensed Film Plots, volume 41.  _Smurfette Screws
} Syracuse_.
}
} 1. Igor, the Smurf's pet water buffalo, goes to Syracuse to buy a new
}    yoke.  On the way, it meets a horny cow, and they have sex in a
}    variety of positions.
} 2. Igor has, however, forgotten his lunch.  Smurfette volunteers to
}    take it to him.  She goes to the kitchen to get it.  The cook screws
}    her silly.
} 3. Igor continues on toward Syracuse.  He meets an old widow.  She asks
}    him for a lift.  Oral sex mostly.  Some great shots of water buffalo
}    cock.
} 4. Smurfette tries to leave.  The cook won't let her.  She bashes him
}    with a frying pan and knocks him out.  She then sucks him repeatedly
}    while he is unconscious, for reasons that are not explained.
} 5. Igor and the old widow get to Syracuse.  They immediately go to an
}    X-rated theatre.  The theatre is showing _OCTAVIA'S ORGASMIC ORGY_
} 6. Octavia and her friends Samantha and Isabelle (two smurfs and an elk)
}    have an orgy.
} 7. Smurfette gets to Syracuse.  She stops in a store specializing in
}    sexual devices.  She tries out two or three dildoes.
} 8. Octavia walks into the dildo store, and without saying a word uses
}    some of the devices on Smurfette.
} 9. Igor walks in and the three of them have some fun.
}
} the end.
}
} Notice the subtle blurring of the boundary between film and reality as
} Octavia unnoticably passes from a character in a film-within-a-film to a
} character in the film itself, recalling Woody Allen's _Purple Rose of
} Cairo_.

} Boy are you are in trouble.
