yeah ... but at least the nimh will have learnt something again! :wink:

plus - i get to tediously refer back to the same piece of web research time after time whenever someone new ventures into the same tired arguments again ... i've been really surprised that noone called me on that yet, not even you and you make a point out of every thing! Razz

Dude, I occasionally refer to your research too. I remember every nimh job you've done and a couple of keywords and if I need 'em I use them to cut down on my own research. Mr. Green

For example, the UN dues research was good stuff, and it's the kind of tedious research that would take up a lot of time.

In one of the ole anti-UN threads I decided to search the forum for that nimh job rather than the web for example.

But you know this already, I even asked you if I could use one of the nimh jobs that was on the roundtable.

Actually, in my job I profit from nimhjobs.
Yesterday, for example, I sent a 3 weeks old nimhjob to one of my colleagues/assistants.

cravenitis impatiens

Rare disease that mostly afflicts bright young intellectuals. It leads one to rapidly become impatient, if not exasperated, when confronted with stupidity or lack of logic.

Rather than name the specific A2Ker associated with the eponym, I trust those directly impacted will see themselves (and get the joke)...

Bozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts only until you realize it was your money to start with.

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

Cashtration: The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

Decafalon: The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

Glibido: All talk and no action.

Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Arachnoleptic fit: The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

Beelzebug: Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an a-hole.
