LoL so true. In compensation for its lack of natural occurance it IS the funnest number to write

Pythagoras would have lived longer had he not died from laughing so hard at a joke about 8.

I thought he choked on something he 8.

Good one!

Only another 7 to go!

I came in here for a quiet unvexing

I came in to get out of the cold of this wet & very cold spring we are having & had a good laugh... Does a body good.... . ... .. .

It's a bit hot and sticky here today (W London). I think it's thinking about raining.

I may take my raincoat, wellies, sou'wester, gloves, and waterproof trousers off if it doesn't start soon.

I've been wondering if it would be possible to convert falling rain into electricity.....

Yes. You take it to the local Bureau de Change and they give you two AA batteries for a bucketful. But don't try and trick them with tap water or they'll call the police. They don't like fraud.

Now, who expected that?

Hold your hands higher, I can't count them.

I think we're in the amputee ward, so counting hands won't give us an accurate count.

Let's head off to the transplant ward then, we might do a bit better.

Very good thinking.

They call me the wizard...

Gandalf? Doesn't your beard interfere with your pinball playing?

actual it gives me the edge i use it to pull the plunger thingy, yes my beard is prehensile: keeping my fingers tips on the buttons.

I think you're the space alien that was captured by the astronauts in "Dark Star." A cross between a semi-ripe tomato and a beach ball.

Did it have a beard?
