It's okay to be lazy.

In fact, why don't you simply skip the admitting and go straight to being proud of it!?

And please, drop that Y2K-crap!

I was going to drop it a couple of months ago, but I was too busy being lazy.

Lazy is good... provided you can get away with it.

I seem to be managing so far

Me too.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

And haven't things been really great so far in this bright new millennium? I mean, few planes have crashed, and very little has happened that has affected computers, except a lot of tecchies have made pots of money from trying to scare the s**t out of gullible people who have more money than sense.

Don't you just love everybody, 'cos I'm sure I do.

I am a Cirius Cybernetics Robot.

I am not a very popular model.

That's because your board of directors will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Doobeedoobee

"you can trust us, we don't give a fig,
we'll tell you: Go stick your head in a Pig!"

Oh, the words of the great DNA. How I've missed them!

Thank you. I think I'll just go and change my page now, and confuse the hell out of anybody else who wanders through and reads this thread.

Confusion is benign!

I was about to present an argument to show that confusion was malignant, but then I realized I couldn't come up with one.

That's not how you spell beginning... confusion is *beginning*.

Pah.

It sure is...

Surely, accusing someone of a mis-spelling is maligning or am I just making a malignant observation?

.... BigEric wanders off and Soliloquises : 2B or not 2B . That is the question .... which may be best considered as a boolean alegebra problem.

Have Fun.

No, you are just confused, and, as has been said, confusion is benign. So, how could you be making a malignant observation?

Benign / Beginning = witty joke using word play.

Malign / Malignant = use of ironic template to recreate witticism.

Confusion = result of not understanding the joke, which when explained is no longer a joke anyhow, because the explanation removes the suspicion that a comment has been made in error - a form of verbal slapstick: if the observer is sure the victim wanted to fall, then where's the laugh in that?

Science is funny until it is explained - for the same reasons.

Best Wishes.

Yep, still confused. You missed the other joke.

benign = not malignant
confusion = benign
BigEric = confused
Therefore:
BigEric = not malignant

So tell me again how you were being malignant.

Surely a malignancy is an ugly growth that interferes with normal processes.

Datz BigEric and what he's just been doing to a tee.

Don't be confused, little one. In the vortex of total perspective, You Are Here.

(Did anyone see that? He called my pathetic attempt at a joke witty!)

Not to be to down, but if you are tired of playing with words, than just stop.

Oh, and in my dictionary malignant means ill intentioned, also, but I find that however ill intentioned his attempts, his net effect is benign.

Me be malignant? Jokes be benign?
