The quote doesn't really have a conclusion, does it? Where's the funny? big_smile<br/><br/>Maybe a variation...like adding the line "So they turned on the ceiling fans and chopped them to bits." or somesuch....<br type="_moz"/>

Re: The Great Contest of Wisdom

I admit it didn't come off so well. I was trying to put a monkish twist on your efforts to communicate with the visitors of your site. I can't really explain what the joke of it is, but it made me smile, so I figured I might as well post it. Somebody has to win!  lol

A man in a long, hooded robe approaches you in the tavern. "You are adventurers?" he asks. "I am Brother Josephus, from the local monastery." He shrugs. "I just thought maybe we could hang out." He adds, "It's cool--I can pay for my own drinks."

"We monks elect a new Grand Foopah," the monk explained to the sage. "White smoke shows the choice is made; black smoke means no decision yet." The sage said, "But that smoke is...grey." The monk sniffed the air and nodded. "Barbecue. It's hungry work."

They say that the last thing Matt saw was XXXX strange glowing monks scrolling onto piles of parchments in a secluded garage


Replace XXXX with how many of you there are and Matt can be replaced with a name that seems to fit (My small grasp at fame).

"The monk fought a hawk and died. His clone woke up and found a hawk."
Point of the story how do you remember not to fight a hawk, if you die by it, therefore not notifying your clone of the danger...pardoxes are fun.
