All of your questions answered!!!!!

I didn't say there were no alternate universes, I said that they are not connected by time. There are infinate universes, but there is no real order that they occure in. They could be concered hapening all now or one after the other or however you want to organize them because they aren't linear to eachother. They are not connected to eachother either. There is no way to reach one from the other without going "up" through the other dimentions and back "down" into one of the other universes. Think of the capital letter E, with each horizontal line being a universe. If you lived in the universe on the top line then you could go to the base which represents the higher dimentions, and fr0om there access any of the other two lines. Except that there would be infinate lines comming out from the base.

Damn, I thought I recovered all of you already! O.K. just stay right where you are. I'm sending someone to exterm... um to let you know where the others went to. You'll be with them all soon.

For an eternal being, you sure are a bad speller. Are you intoxicated?

Yes I am a bad speller in English. My brain works a little differently than most. I don't memorize things. I spell by deriving proper letters according to the sounds of the words that I need and following the rules of spelling that I care to remember at the time. In english this makes me a horrible speller as the spelling rules don't make much since. Really they don't. In spanish I am an excelent speller because everything is spelled like it sounds, as words should be. And on top of that I also make typo's when typing fast just like everyone else.

Eternal != Perfect

Actually you may as well consider my way of spelling as correct, and it's the developers of English that are wrong. I am the Eternal one after all, and that's what the history books will say after you are all gone. LOL

I'm going to have to consult Ziggy for this one. One moment please.

*Zippity computer noises*

Ok Ziggy says "298733.5 standardized pieces of wood in the average Woodchuck's lifetime." A standardized piece of wood is about 3 1/2 feet long and four inches in diameter. You can find a measurement for anything if you know which paralel universe to look in.

42?

And secondly; If you are eternal why is your born date so recent ?

Why do no words rhyme with orange?

How does Donald Trump's hair do THAT?

Where is D.B. Cooper?

Where is Jimmy Hoffa buried?

Actually, this is close to something I really want to know.

Several years ago I read a book I can't remember the name of, nor the author. I hope someone recognizes it because I'd love to reread it.

The story is a little complex, it revolves around humans, an immortal being and the story covers millions of years.

I'll leave out the bits about the humans, but the immortal was born in the big bang and spent millions of years simply existing. Eventually it became self aware. It lived inside of stars, feeding on the energy. Billions of years went by and it realized it was lonely so it (it was incrediably intelligent, far beyond mere humans) figured out a way to duplicate itself with slight variances and psychological mutations so they'd all be a little different.

Many many many copies were made, and the copies themselves made copies and eventually they warred. The only way to kill one of the creatures was to cause a star to go nova while a creature was inside it, tearing it apart. War was fought across the universe by nova's.

This is where the humans come in, they begin to notice all these stars dying for no reason. Now it's been awhile since I read this so details are gone, but part of the salvation of humanity was starting a colony on a planet orbiting a star traveling at jst under the speed of light. Trying to outrun the premature death of the universe.
Or something close to that. That's were the time comes in, astronomers notice the nova's in our time and eons go by while we bild the technology to do this.

Now we go back to the star creature. Millions of years have passed and the creature believes he's killed all the copies of himself everywhere. But he's not positive, so he hides. Billions of years pass and now the universe is going dark. The stars have died out. There are no lights in the sky, for there are no stars anywhere. In the fullness of time all energy has disipated. All that's left is the slow dying background beat of of radiation. The creature has almost shut itself down to conserve what little life energy it has left, crammed into a sliver of a dead star.

Untill it notices a flicker of energy! Yes, it's the star the humans have captured and sent on an endless flight at reletavistic speeds slowing down time and preserving the last star in existence.

After some more stuff. finally the creature and humans meet. The end

Does anyone recognize this story? The name of the book?

That sounds about right. Except we weren't born in the big bang, that came later. And you can't kill us, not even with a supernova or a black hole. You can, however, convince us that we aren't there.

First I want to clear one thing. You are asking for some objective and some subjective answers.

I can tell you objectively that Bill Gates is not a pioneer because Apple Computer was already providing personal computers. A pioneer by definition is the first which he was not. Xerox actually first developed the personal computer but they didn't have the foresight to develop it further. Not the first or the last time that they made such a mistake, but probably the worst.

If anyone is to be considered a pioneer it would be IBM because they were first to develope AND market the first clonable personal computer. All Bill Gates was asked to do was to provide an operating system for it which is a pretty minial piece of software (especially back then) that simply helped the REAL programs to run. And even that he stole from someone else. Microsoft now believes that their Operating Systems should also include programs so that no other software company can really compete in the market. This concept is the only thing they pioneered.

As far as wheather or not Gates deserves his money, that is totally subjective. Capitalism is based on exploitation. Capital is any machine, building, or technology used to create products. For software companies like Microsoft, patents and copywrites are their capital as it allows them to generate a product called a license which they sell to people.

Though a programmer working for microsoft may well know the insides and outs of a program, they can not sell it themselves because they don't own the patents. Also they can't create their own company because banks know they could never compete with MS so they can't borrow the money it takes to build a decent software development team. Instead of going into business for themselves and making a healthier competative market they are forced to work for someone else.

The one who owns the capital takes all the revenue and decides how much the worker should get for their efforts. The amount the worker gets usually has nothing to do with the value they actually brought to the company, but is rather decided by how much others would be willing to pay him. It gets bad for this worker when unemployment is high because they still provide the same value to the company yet get paid less because the company could hire others who are willing to take less money. This is why large companies love the unemployment rate to be high.

Wheather or not the people who are on top deserve to be on top depends on your personal opinion. Someone might say "well they are a nice person, so no one deserves it more." while others might say "He shouldn't get paid that much more unless he works that much harder than I do." I can't tell you how to feel or what to think about that. What I can tell you is that it is our hieraricle economic system that can put and keep someone in that position. It's called capitalizm and our government gives us no choise but to love it.

Personally I don't really love it, but I play that game to win.

Well 42 is not a question. It is the ultimate answer. The ultimate question is...

Hold on phone's ringing ...

Well obviousely I have to lye on all that ID verification stuff. They usually assume that I'm lying if I put anything before 1900. Most don't even accept ages like that. So I have to put something recent down so that I can get my damn free email account. Problem is when I forget my password and they ask me to provide my birth date. I'm like "damn, what did I put this time?"

Oh, bull. You're not eternal - I see Paradigms change all the time.

LOL

Because the Druids needed a really good password for the Stonehenge portal.




It's alive



Shhhhhh, don't turn around.



His body incinerated in 2001 with the building.

Which did come first -- the chicken or the egg?

Why can't I get laid?

The egg obviousely. It crash landed here from a distant dying planet. It carried a super baby chicken in it. Well, not super to our standards as Earth birds could actually fly, but pretty super to alien chicken standards.

ok, this is one of the most closely gaurded secrets that women have. I learned this only when I assumed the identity of a woman for over 30 years. After years of strapping my balls back behind my @55 to fit into a bikini (painfull!) I learned some secrets that in all my centuries I was never privy to. here they are.

1) Women enjoy sex much much more than men do

2) The first lady, Queen, Empress, Mistress is always the one in charge. they use various manipulation tactings to make men faulsly beleave that they are doing what they want. In reality we are doing what the women want us to do.

3) Women love men, but aren't sexually attracted to men, they are attracted to accesories. Cars, Money, Suits, Uniforms... all of these things turn women on when worn or driven properly by a man. The proper useage of accessories drives women crazy and they can't control themselves. The #1 accessory that turns them on to a man is ofcourse another woman. The more beautifull the woman he is with, the more attractive he looks. This is how men in the know get laid. Pay some hot stripper to hang on your arm at one high profile party, and show up in a convertable BMW (rented if need be), and you will have quality women lining up to be your baby momma!

Was Mork from Ork there too?

So, to paraphrase, I'm shit outta luck?
