Order in the court! If the D.A. continues to use that sort of language in my court, he will be held in contempt of court. Now sit down and let the Defense proceed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" &gt;DEFENSE LAWYER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Thank you, your honor.

Unfortunately, society has demonized the word "zoophilia" and have made it synonomous with "bestiality". Zoophiles are simply animal lovers. Is that a crime? If homosexuals are allowed to marry, shouldn't zoosexuals be allowed to love? They are not merely driven by carnal desires. They...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" &gt;DISTRICT ATTORNEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Your honor, how can you just sit there and listen to this bullshit! The defendant is a sick, perverted individual and needs to be behind bars!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" &gt;JUDGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Let this be my final warning to the Prosecutor. Baliff, if the D.A. has another outbreak, please remove him from this court. The Defense Attorney may finish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" &gt;DEFENSE LAWYER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Thank you, your honor. Members of the jury, how can we convict an animal lover for loving an animal. Capt. Kangaroo loved children. Was he a pedophile? How about Bozo the Clown...Mr. Rogers...Mr. Wizard...Steve from Blue's Clues...hell, the entire cast from Sesame Street? Let's ignite an inquisition of all the people who have ever loved children. I thought McCarthyism died in the 50s, but I guess I was wrong. The D.A. callously and maliciously stated that Mr.Martindale "fucked a pig". I disagree. If Mr. Martindale did in fact have sexual relations with Sally, he would have never "fucked" her. Mr. Martindale would have "made love" to her. Sally just happens to be a pig. What he did was only a crime of the heart not the law. The defense rest, you honor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" &gt;DISTRICT ATTORNEY&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is horseshit! Your honor...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;" &gt;JUDGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baliff, remove the D.A.!

&lt;span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the average tree density of a normal forest, that equates to 75,000 square miles (&lt;em&gt;roughly the size of the entire state of South Dakota&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you assume the mean height is 6 ft. and were to stack the trees end to end, they would go around the Earth 118 times or create 15 columns extending to the Moon&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;em&gt;approximately 186, 000 miles away&lt;/em&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I then asked myself, “Who lives in the forest?”&lt;br /&gt;I know that Winnie the Pooh lives in “The Hundred Acres Forest”. So feasibly, one could deduce that every hundred acres produces one Pooh bear. Since seventy-five thousand square miles have been destroyed, the blood of a half a million Pooh bears rest on the shoulders of the paganistic ritual of Christians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Poohicide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus was a Jew, but he also was an anti-Poohite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://mypoetrysucks.blogspot.com/2004/12/paper-versus-plastic.html"&gt;Merry Christmas!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511456-113554495028167809?l=taoofdan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/feeds/113554495028167809/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6511456&amp;postID=113554495028167809' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/113554495028167809'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/113554495028167809'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/2005/12/consumerism-has-secularized-christmas.html' title='Consumerism has Secularized Christmas'/><author><name>dan allen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02649374368691348885</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511456.post-113554290339323831</id><published>2005-12-24T15:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-12-25T16:09:53.966-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Self Awareness - Part V</title><content type='html'>They say, "Dancing is a very vertical expression of a horizontal desire."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's unfortunate because I don't dance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I'm a eunich.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511456-113554290339323831?l=taoofdan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/feeds/113554290339323831/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6511456&amp;postID=113554290339323831' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/113554290339323831'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/113554290339323831'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/2005/12/self-awareness-part-v.html' title='Self Awareness - Part V'/><author><name>dan allen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02649374368691348885</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511456.post-113552811423857601</id><published>2005-12-23T11:19:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-12-25T16:10:34.460-05:00</updated><title type='text'>People occassionally ask me if my Jewish girlfriend is Ashkenazic or Sephardic.</title><content type='html'>Fortunately, she's Sephardic because I have trouble pronouncing Ashkenazic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Someone told me the easiest way to remember how to pronounce is by saying, 'Ask-a-Nazi'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I remembered the guy who told me that was Todd Hitler.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck that guy!

Once pardoned from the solitary confinement of her womb, you then have to endure a 35 month sentence in a caged-environment known as a crib.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Millions of innocent 2 ½ year olds around the world stare listlessly through the bars of their cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They have to wait until they’re 3 years olds to be exonerated from their cradles and be allowed to sleep in their own beds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, little Maddie turned 3 and got a twin size bed and new sheets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sheets were adorably decorated with a design called KIDPRINTs® which could be described as: a white sheet with a disorganized array of polychromatic, painted handprints of various small children—or Jackson Pollack’s kindergarten project.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She loved them and played patty-cake with the handprints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the sheets were new they were a little itchy. I suggested that we wash them with some Snuggle® fabric softener.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But when I grabbed the sheets in my arms, my pseudo-Spidey-Senses went off. I have a very keen ability of detecting evil. Its aura glowed red in my mind’s eye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EVIL!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I threw it to the ground as a vampire would a clove of garlic or a vile of holy water. The sheets existence repulsed me. I reviled the very fabric that Madison revered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My cousin didn’t understand why a freaked out and calmly asked, “Uh…why did you throw it on the ground?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Because, it’s Eeeev-all!” I said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What the fuck are you talking about? Pick it up!” he yelled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I can’t,” I replied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My cousin screamed, “You are out of your fucking mind!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a looked at the crumpled mass of linen, I kept envisioning the factory where it was made. I saw a long conveyer belt with thousands of blank white sheets—empty canvases waiting to be painted. Then I could see the factory workers, a handful of poor, little Malaysian kids standing in front of buckets of paint. Their shift started and the foreman began to bark out, “Faster…faster!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then I heard one of the small workers grumble underneath his breath, “Stupid capitalistic pigs, I've never even take a shower before!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I looked at the sheets again and saw some of the handprints were missing fingers and one little guy actually was able to scrawl out, ‘H-e-l-p-m-e.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Against my cousin’s wishes, I ran outside with the sheets and burned them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just because Nike, Martha Stewart and Kathy Lee condones child slavery that doesn’t make it right.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511456-113208338221994765?l=taoofdan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/feeds/113208338221994765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6511456&amp;postID=113208338221994765' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/113208338221994765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/113208338221994765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/2005/11/adorable-handprint-designed-sheets.html' title='Adorable Handprint Designed Sheets'/><author><name>dan allen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02649374368691348885</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511456.post-113173627737717315</id><published>2005-11-11T14:07:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2005-11-11T19:22:09.666-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Mormons Aren't Allowed to Eat Honey</title><content type='html'>Mormons and bees both practice polygamy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Mormons live in male-centric, &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/topic/polygyny?method=8"&gt;polygynous&lt;/a&gt; communities and bees live in female-centric, &lt;a href="http://www.answers.com/polyandry"&gt;polyandric&lt;/a&gt; colonies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joseph Smith, The Mormon Prophet, wanted to hide this biological fact from their women-folk: Animals could successfully survive with this gender arrangement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So he took the liberty and carefully amended the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Book of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Revelations&lt;/span&gt; in the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Book of Mormons&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He 'found and replaced' the word, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;locusts&lt;/span&gt; with the word &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;bees&lt;/span&gt; and refered to Satan as the Queen Bee.

such as pain, fear, hunger, and thirst, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In her eyes, we are all the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, their name is PETA which stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do they differentiate between people and animal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aren’t animals and people equal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You don’t hear civil right groups stating Whites for the Ethical Treatment of Colored and Miscellaneous People.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should be Animals for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I understand why they don’t want to change their name because they would have to pronounce it Aye-EE-ta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This could easily be confused with the Broadway musical &lt;a href="http://disney.go.com/disneytheatrical/aida/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Aida&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If they were smart, they would pair up with Disney and produce their own musical about a cow who falls in love with her owner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Set in the outskirts of Chicago, Aeta is the exciting and passionate tale of a Moobian princess who falls in love with her owner, Farmer John. Aeta becomes the personal pet of Polly, &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the daughter of a meat packing mogul, who also is enamored by Farmer John.

Oh…you want to have sex with her feet…by all means, please go ahead…I’m going to step out for a bit. It’s her Mom’s birthday and I want to buy her a card. If you guys want, I can come back and we can all sign it. That would be swell!”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511456-113047324416246940?l=taoofdan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/feeds/113047324416246940/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6511456&amp;postID=113047324416246940' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/113047324416246940'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/113047324416246940'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/2005/10/polysexuals.html' title='Polysexuals'/><author><name>dan allen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02649374368691348885</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511456.post-113038320487023222</id><published>2005-10-26T23:08:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-10-28T00:23:39.420-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Different Grades of Unleaded Gas at Mobil</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Super &lt;/span&gt;Unleaded is 93 octane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Special&lt;/span&gt; Unleaded is 89 octane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Regular&lt;/span&gt; Unleaded is only 87 octane.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They should re-think their labeling system considering that the average IQ of a human is about 100.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;93 octane should be &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Regular&lt;/span&gt;, 89 octane would be &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Borderline&lt;/span&gt;, and 87 octane would be &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;"Special"&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:courier new;" &gt;GAS ATTENDANT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;What can I do you for?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:courier new;" &gt;CUSTOMER&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Fill'er up, I guess.

Who’s your favorite dryy-ver? Who’s your favorite dryyy-ver?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then every goofball starts sounding off:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Rusty Wallace’s my man!”&lt;br /&gt;“Man, I love Jeff Gordon!”&lt;br /&gt;“I’m a Mark Martin Man!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is confusing because these &lt;i style=""&gt;quasi&lt;/i&gt;-homoerotic proclamations are always given by very “heterosexual” men who smell like WD-40, stale Budweiser, and campfire smoke.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are millions of closeted NASCAR fans, trying to get out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is what they really are saying:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Mark Martin’s my man, I used to like Kyle Petty but he wouldn’t shave his moustache and it kinda hurt when we kiss and stuff and Ernie Irvin broke my heart in 93’. That’s why I’m a Mark Martin Man, now! I tell you what boy, every time I see a Number Six, Viagra car, I get hard as a can of Copenhagen!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my impression of a NASCAR fan in Ancient Greece:&lt;br /&gt;“Who’s your favorite diety?

I went in and looked for the hottest waitress in the place. Not an easy thing to do in Leesburg, Virginia on a Sunday. I found one that looked like Flo from Mel’s Diner except a little plumper and not as sexy. Her name was Rose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ordered a Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and an iced tea. While smacking her gum, she scribbled, &lt;strong&gt;B-C-H-I-X and a happy face on her writing pad&lt;/strong&gt;, winked at me, and said, “Comin’ right up, sugar.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My face turned red with embarrassment. I felt like I was an eighteen year old GI from WWII in front of an aging prostitute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rose brought out the sandwich and the ice tea. She smiled and said, “Pumpkin, lemme know when yer done, so I can bring you yer dessert.” I felt awkward looking at her fifty year old, apple ass swish back and forth like a cat’s tail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ate my meal, made eye contact with her, and beckoned her over.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I coyly said, “I guess, I’ll have my &lt;em&gt;happy ending&lt;/em&gt; now.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rose disappeared into the kitchen, and came out with a serving tray with a sundae on it.

A cornucopia of categorized corpses killed by "conservationists".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its exactly like the Bronx Zoo except the animals are dead and frozen in time. On the upside the smell of giraffe shit isn't forced up your nostrils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little Teddy had an affinity for killing animals since he was seven years old when he saw a dead seal in the market and kept its head.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He moved on to big game hunting and started to collect his spoils for his "museum". In order to have a scene look authentic, he and his Rough Riders would kill and collect everything in a 20 foot by 20 foot area. Everything...daddy buffalo, mama buffalo, the sick grandma...then he would dismount and snap the neck of the little ones because bullets would damage their hides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When he had gathered all the animals, then he would move onto the plant life. Uprooting anything that casted a shadow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then in 1891, he struck plant gold.

People lost their lives and will always be remembered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what about me, I still exist. Somehow through this tragic event, I have been deleted from everyone’s mind. Erased. Eradicated. Brainwashed out of Man’s hard drive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nine, eleven…nine, eleven…nine, eleven&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anything missing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happened to “ten”!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I use to be a “somebody”. The world revolved around me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ten Commandments, “She’s a perfect ten”, “Hang ten”, “ten little indians”…for Christ’s sake the majority of Earth’s civilizations use a base-10 numbering system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I feel invisible. A shadow. I know what Ashlee Simpson feels like at Thanksgiving, or Tito at Christmas. What have I done to deserve this? Am I not easily divisible? Do I not make multiplying a simple task? What the fuck more do you want from me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could understand if I was irrational or a transcendental number. They’re enigmas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who knows their purpose? I don’t.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I ran with that pack in college.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;π&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%"&gt;Φ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;the Golden Ratio&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;the Natural Number&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;…they were all deadbeats out of they’re minds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:180%;"&gt;π&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; was always tripping on acid and trying to convince me he was from outer space and that he helped everyone from the Egyptians build the pyramids to the Mayan temples. Give me a break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Golden Ratio&lt;/em&gt; was under the impression that he was the divine Renaissance number created by God himself. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%"&gt;Φ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; was one self-righteous, ecclesiastical mother fucker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Natural Number &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;e&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; seemed normal, until you started to talk about money. Compound this, compound that…he would get this diabolical look in his eye when you mentioned interest rates. He’d sell his mother’s lung if he could profit from it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m a rational number.

Unfortunately, he didn’t foresee the devastating results of the divine intervention. There definitely was an imbalance in the Force—too much good and not enough evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when Anakin transformed into Darth Vader to save the mother of his children and went on a rampage and exterminated every single Jedi, he balanced the Force.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only Jedi to survive were: Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two good and two bad. Equal. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The “&lt;em&gt;chosen one&lt;/em&gt;” brought balance to the Force, but didn’t bring peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jesus Christ was the “&lt;em&gt;chosen one&lt;/em&gt;”, but Christianity drove The Crusades and The Inquisitions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Word of warning: Prophecies are full of shit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6511456-111687139978513238?l=taoofdan.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/feeds/111687139978513238/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6511456&amp;postID=111687139978513238' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/111687139978513238'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6511456/posts/default/111687139978513238'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://taoofdan.blogspot.com/2005/05/darth-vader-was-fallen-angel.html' title='Darth Vader was the Fallen Angel'/><author><name>dan allen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02649374368691348885</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6511456.post-111687125062874939</id><published>2005-05-23T13:56:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-05-25T00:59:39.786-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Why Did Yoda Die So Young?</title><content type='html'>Yoda was a creature called a Gherkin with an average life expectancy of 1000 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At age 877 years old, he fought a stalemate battle with Emperor Palpatine, the most powerful Sith Lord in the universe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He exiled himself to the swampy planet of Dagobah and was able avoid detection from Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine because a powerful Dark Jedi named &lt;a href="http://www.starwars.com/databank/location/yodashut/?id=eu"&gt;Bpfassi&lt;/a&gt; had died there flooding the region with the Dark Side negating his Light Side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About twenty three years later, Luke Skywalker returns to Dagobah for the last time to complete his Jedi training. Sadly, Master Yoda the Gherkin died there at the age of only 900 years old.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By problem is this—compared to humans with an average life expectancy of 72 years. Twenty three Gherkin years would have been the equivalent of only two human years since his ass-kicking, Jet-li/Bruce Lee battle with the Emperor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QUESTION:&lt;br /&gt;Why did his health fade so quickly?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANSWER:&lt;br /&gt;Luke discovered Yoda’s cyberjournal and found out that he had made a few stops before he permanently exiled himself. He had hyperspaced to Tantooine and bought some essentials: fifty gallons of Rotgut, a thousand DeathSticks and ten pounds of finely-cut Kessel spice. He then visited his favorite Wookie prostitute, Beelacca. Unfortunately, Belacca didn’t honor the Republic’s “Right to Know” policy. She had been infected by a Tusken Raider who had a Wookie fetish with a rare disease contracted from having sex with a Bantha. The drugs and booze accelerated the effects of the STD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George Lucas was contacted by D.O.G.G. (Daughters of Great Gherkins) to cut the scenes showing these last moments out respect for his family.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
