Synchronicity / James Randi?

[davidhorman]

What is a "sim" by the way?

A simulation. I think it's one of these Star Trek Armada games or something, you play online and... well I dunno, I spose it's like Dungeons and Dragons or something.

I can find a few pages dedicated to the finding of 47s in Star Trek, but none make much reference to the original series. As for me proving that they don't show up a lot in the original series, go and look up a thing called "burden of proof".

Here's why there are so many 47s in Star Trek (TNG onwards):

Here's more on the link between Pomona College and 47:

http://www.pomona.edu/Magazine/pcmfl00/1.shtml

It all seems to stem from a few people noticing a few 47s back in the 60s (not 1947). Why 47? Why not? If things had been a bit different TNG would be littered with 39s and you'd still be here crowing about it.

I used to see the number 22:07 on clocks all the time. (2+2=4, 0+7=7, 47!)

Dammit I just remembered! It must have had something to do with Roswell, New Mexico ... You know, New Mexico -- the 47th state!

Yes, sometimes it is better to remain silent, that is if we had the capacity to do so. And then we might learn few things about ourselves, possibly from Hermes?

That tears it, Iacchus--I had been considering letting you be one of my prophets, but no longer. I have such a simple message, but you screwed it up. I'd hate to see what havoc you might wreak with a more complex message--oh, wait, I think I have seen this.

Anyone else who wants to be considered for a position as Prophet, Deity, Demi-god, High Priest or Priestess, simply restate my messages (from my last 2 posts on this thread--we'll make it easy on you) and I'll let you know how you did.

Anyone who tries to decipher a message from my posts in the Top Ten or Limerick threads is automatically disqualified on the assumption they don't have a clue.

I have no idea what you're talking about here.

This isn't my buddy Mike is it? Because this is almost reminiscent of what happened 7 years ago. Hey, maybe the jokes on me? You know, like one of those things where only you can see it and nobody else gives a crap? Regardless, I still give credit to Hermes.

Then again, maybe I'm just being selfish?

If we give you our money our silence and prayers - we're wrong on 2 out of 3.

I hope I don't get the Priestess job - I don't have the right wardrobe.

 

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

I explained the absurd mathematics in the orange box and then Iacchus said:
Well you obviously don't believe in God, so how can I possibly expect you to understand what synchronicity is. And yes, even though I'm unfamiliar with the numerology systems you refer to, they probably work along similar principles such as mine. At least this would be my guess.

All righty then.

Close enough...although, technically, the money can go any number of places, not just to me, as long as you are making a difference. I am not a selfish god.

Not Priestess, then...too bad, I was hoping for a lot of those...I'm gonna try out my omniescence and predict that you don't much want "martyr" either.

With your family background, you have serious potential as either Deity or Demi-god, though...have you talked to the folks in Personnel yet? I'm sure we can work out something.

 

[Atlas]

Personnel wants two forms of ID.

I'm freakin ATLAS!

Grrr.. I hate bureaucracy!

Things weren't like this in the old days.

Sorry, that's Quincy--he's had a bug up his butt since he got turned down for High Priest. I'll take care of it. Lessee, here....according to your application you either "support the firmament of heaven" or "suppose the armaments are beavers"...I'm beginning to see why Quincy reacted as he did. You ever consider remedial penmanship classes? Just tell me your desired employment, and consider it done. Oh, and if you see any potential High Priestesses, shoo them over this direction...

Mercutio,
Thank you for giving this your personal attention. With the heavy load I'm carrying I am forced to sign stuff with my feet. That butthead Quincy gave me a leaky pen. He was laughing the whole time. You should see my sandals.

There was a time when he'd have been in Tartarus with buzzards eating his liver for all eternity faster than Hermes could've delivered the summons.

Listen to me go on... first day and I'm already complaining. I don't really have a temper. You can't really in my kinda work. People count on ya.

You said I could pick my slot. I gotta go for that demi-god spot. I've got experience. And with this other job I don't think I could handle the duties of a full-fledged deity again.

I wish I could help out with the Priestess scarcity problem. It's kinda lonely out this way. Actually I thought taking a second job, well you know, I was hoping to meet some Goddesses and loose mortals myself.

It's been a long time.

Mercutio,

Can I apply for the role of "dark adversary"? You need one you know, and I'm fully qualified. What's a god without a scapegoat to blame all the bad stuff on?

Well...you've got me stumped, and I'm omniscient! You see, I get along with you famously, and that kinda puts the kibosh on "dark adversary". On the other hand, you know how hard it is to find decent adversaries these days...what with not teaching Latin in public schools any more, and all that.

Tell ya what...I'll sign you on for a temp job at first, if that's ok with you. Two millenia before your first review--blink of an eye, really, but if you knew what hoops I had to jump through for those union bigwigs to get this...I tell ya, omnipotence is not what it is assumed to be.

Now, I'll trust you to keep me on my toes, Loki--my natural tendency is, of course, to be kind and forgiving, and that would of course include my behavior toward you. As "dark adversary", you are, of course, expected to take advantage of my good nature, but as I am not a vengeful god, I really don't expect you will have a whole lot to rebel against. Satan, after all, only gets such good press because of the mishandling of his boss.

Have fun!

Well, you're not the first complaint this week about Quincy. I suppose I'd better do something. A vengeful god might smite him...but I think maybe I'll stop by Personnel just to see if maybe the guy has some issues going on. He hasn't always acted like this, you know--used to be the backbone of the company softball team, popular guy, all that...

Listen to me go on... first day and I'm already complaining. I don't really have a temper. You can't really in my kinda work. People count on ya.

No prob. Complain away. That's what I'm here for...well, among a billion other things...

You said I could pick my slot. I gotta go for that demi-god spot. I've got experience. And with this other job I don't think I could handle the duties of a full-fledged deity again.

You got it.

You know, you should get out more. Oh, wait. Yeah, I see the problem. Hmmm....maybe while I'm over at Personnel I'll be able to......dang Goddess shortage...

Mercutio,

Now, I'll trust you to keep me on my toes,...

Already on it, chief. Working on a little something involving Mormons and dirty bath water...don't want to say too much in case it doesn't work out.

Any comments about my suggestion for a "soul recall" for the faulty units we shipped last month? I'm thinking we try a "two for one" buy-back, with an option to finally allow psychology lecturers and lawyers to bid - they've been soulless for far too long, IMO.

Must run ... the electrodes are almost hot enough, and there's a bus load of 7th Day Adventists just in from purgatory that need to be shown the error of their ways.

Oh, my Me....I really should have checked your resume more closely. You've been working at that other company for so long it seems to have steeped into your bones.

We do things a bit differently here...I suggest having a bit of a lie-down--put your feet up, pour yourself a beer...why go searching for trouble when it can find you instead?

I figure once word gets out on our work policies, people will leave that other organization in droves. Then you won't have to work so hard on the 7DA, for instance, and can spend more quality time with your lager...

Mecurtio,

Since you seem to be developing a following here, I've reposted your replies on a new thread called, The Great Mecurtio!

So, if anyone wishes to speak to the Great Mercutio, please go there ...

 

[Cleopatra]

You are quite a player Iacchus.

I like you but no I am not getting married to you.

 

[Mercutio]

Humph! Obviously a disgruntled Prophet-Wannabe. Since this thread was derailed from post 1, this is as good a place as any for this sort of fun.

 

[Atlas]

Cleo, Oh Queen of the Nile,
In disagreement you have noticed me in your sig.
My heart sings at the touch of your shadow.

Mercutio, Mercutio
Petition the Queen.
What a high High Priestess she would be.
