Shields are good. Trade is good. Workers are good. Production bonuses are way good!

Spaceship, Spaceship, Spaceship!

That does it for me.
Stay the course, O Ursine One!

A quick question, well comment actually, should C-bear change his name to Michelbearilo, some might think it is appropriate given his campaign team's work on the Cistine Cave.....

Its been a long day....

Give a person a banana, and they eat for a day. Give that person a city-planner, and he will be fed forever!

Almost like the old joke, give a person a fish and he can eat for a day, teach a person to fish and he will sit around drinking beer all day

We don't need no stinking city planner. With his wages we could buy lots of bananas, and a small banana growing plantation. I vote we oust the corrupt officials and use the proceeds to grow fruit and create some export led growth.

Ben Kenobi · January 31, 2003, 16:42

No cityplanner = Riots.

At least that was the case for me.

Riots kind of hurt the banana industry.

What about this wonderful Quayleism: "Give a man a fish, he'll fish for a day. Teach a man to fish, he'll fish for a lifetime!"

So sad. But he was a typical Republican... (IQ around 90)

I have heard of entire cabinets with interlects of about that level. Not mentioning any countries of course in our (unfortunately) politically correct society. Luckily Apolyton is not (usually) one of these, although we try damn hard sometimes

To have an IQ around 90?

Proof that it's a Democracy Game; anyone *can* be elected!

Ben Kenobi · February 1, 2003, 16:35

*looks at thread title*

Another supporting data point.

CannonFodder · February 1, 2003, 16:49

Indeed, it has always been my goal in life to achieve the astounding IQ of 90!

cavebear · February 1, 2003, 18:51

Joke:

A scientist had learned how to manipulate IQ. He was contacted one day by the smartest person in the world, a professor (SPITWAP). "I want to *lower* my IQ." he said; "I can't talk to anyone, nobody likes me, and I want to fit in".

Well, this was rather odd, but the scientist assured him he could take care of the problem. SPITWAP showed up at the lab one day and was guided to the machine. "This will lower your IQ 1 point per minute, and I will have a trained technician standing by. We will make you a 135 IQ person, and that should balance your desire to learn with your desire to be understood by others. SPITWAP was ecstatic!

The machine was placed on his head and the operation began. The technician watched the numbers count down. 210, 219, 218... The lab phone rang, and it was the technician's girlfriend. The tech watched the machine 197, 196, 195... but then started flirting with his girlfriend.

Suddenly, the tech noticed the numbers on the machine; 85, 84, 83... and jumped to turn off the machine.

"Professor, professor, are you all right"? SPITWAP responded, "10-4, good buddy".

OK, so it's a trucker joke...

CannonFodder · February 1, 2003, 19:38

Eh...

DrSpike · February 1, 2003, 20:20

I hope you are better at politics than you are at comedy.
