![]() "Ed" wrote in message . .. Is there a website you can go to self-test for a sense of humor? Unfortunately not...and there are a lot of "humor challenged" AS WELL as those that think if it's not on SNOPES it must be true. Good try, but seems to be an urban legend: http://www.snopes.com/language/apocryph/pluckyew.htm |

Would you put more faith in it if I could find a Wikipedia article on the subject? :-) Well, first of all, if you did provide such EVIDENCE (_real_ evidence, not flatulent opinions ..especially opinions using selective data), I'd no longer have to take it on "faith", right. So right there your credibility is a bit stunted as you don't apparently comprehend what constitutes a proper epistemology or method. Secondly, I've seen stuff on Wikipedia (an open encyclopedia) that was dubious. Noam Chomsky comes to mind. Thirdly, well, I guess you are just an example of the former. :~) |
