I am the Master of Answers, the Retort Man* I am.
A wise man named BL-17 once asked me the question, "What is the first real step to gaining a little wisdom and enlightenment?"
To which I answered, "Open your mind and allow yourself to be taught."
That concept is truth, for all the great scientists and biologists and doctors and philosophers throughout history propelled society and humanity forward by their absorbing of past teachings and their enhancement and giving of what they'd learned to future generations of open minded, willing to learn thinkers.
But if you think that's what this thread is about, you have come to the wrong place. *I am Tovor the Retort Man*, and I am greater and smarter than all them old dead guys from the past. *I know everything and I have all the answers, and I have no real need for the teachings of the past when I can formulate my own answers based on my massive stores of self-gained knowledge.
Ask me all that you wish to know, and I will answer, within reason. *It is my choice to interject any humor (if at all) or sarcasm as I see fit. *I can do this. *I am the Retort Man.*
There are rules, however, to ensure that no one might take advantage of my generous offering of wisdom here.
RULES:
1) Do not ask me more than 4 questions at a time. *My time is precious.
2) Do not ask me questions about yourself, such as your favorite color, team, your height, or any such things. *I am the Retort Man*. *My time is precious.
3) There is nothing that I do not know. *If you think that I answered incorrectly, it is your fault for improperly phrasing the question.
4) If you ask me something I cannot answer, well, I will ignore you. *Why not? The previous answer guys did it. *For further clarification, refer to Rule #3.
5) Do not ask me questions pertaining to professional sports or sports teams. *I have non-disclosure agreements with the teams that I give consultations to, which cannot be breached.
6) Many of my answers may be in the form of wit or sarcasm or desperate attempts of such. *Brace yourself.
7) If you ask me something I do not know, refer to Rule #3.
8) If you are young and fragile of feelings, tread carefully in this thread. *I do not want you to be hurt.
9) If you are not satisfied with this Answer Thread, remember Rule #3.
10) This thread will be geared more toward the message board fans of the older generation, that 26.67% and 3.33% of us, plus those younger who can handle it here.
12) Do not mock my wisdom, or I will mock you for your inability to fully comprehend Rule #3. Then I will bombard you with mean thoughts. Do not defy me. I am the Retort Man*.
13) Do NOT confuse Retort* with retard. I will mock you if you do. I can do that. I am the Retort Man".
So begin your search for knowledge and enlightenment and enrich your understanding of the universe we live in (not the other universe this one sometimes gets confused with).
Inquire of me that which you desire to know and understand. I know and answer everything, except for those things which fall under the clause of Rule #2, Rule #3, Rule #5, and Rule #7.
*title subject to change without notice.
**mind subject to change without reason.
***underwear subject to change as needed.

Color is a product of light reflecting off of an object. *In darkness there is no color. *On the other hand, I used to know a Chinese student named Seid Ling, and he was afraid of the dark, so when he returned to the light we saw that his face had turned white with fear. *Your answer then is that darkness makes Seid Ling turn a whitish color, which can only be understood once he returns to the light.

Yes. It means you smoked too many before that one. Like Cheech Marin in Rude Awakening, smoking a bone on the side of the river, when a fish stuck his head out of the water and asked if he could have a toke of his joint.
It will not be offended. You will only percieve it to be.
It will not answer you. If it does, you have been smoking something stronger than a joint. Seek help. Don't be a fried egg. :p

All right, then... I'm not brave enough to take the chance.
A farmer has to cross a river, and has only one raft. The farmer has TWO sheep and ONE tiger that he wants to transport across the river. The raft can carry the farmer and ONE other animal at a time. The farmer has to be on the raft to cross the river. If the farmer leaves the tiger with a sheep, the tiger will EAT the sheep. The farmer wants to transport all the animals across the river without any of the animals dying. None of the animals or the farmer can swim, so if they are not on the raft they will drown. How can the farmer do it?
Tovor
08-31-2002, 02:48 AM
First of all, the farmer goofed. *He was supposed to be traveling with a lion, a goat, and a head of cabbage. *But since he was traveling with the wrong animals and he only had a raft wide enough for him and one animal, which is impossible since unless it was wider the combined wieght would make the rubber raft unstable and tip over. *But there are 2 other ways to overcome his dilemma.
1) He urges two beavers to knaw down several trees to create a solid dam across the river upstream, and when the river level went down to the riverbed, he then walked across with his tiger and two sheep. *
2) This one is twice as easy. *He temps the two sheep to make nasty until the female conceives and is with calf in her sheep womb. *Then he waits until just before she is going to give birth. *Then he takes the tiger across first, then the male sheep and leaves it with the hungry tiger, then he goes back and brings the pregnant sheep over and times it just right for the sheep to give birth just as the tiger devours the male sheep, and then guess what? *He still has one tiger and two sheep!

And that was how I was arrested, technically but not officially.

Well, I can answer this one. The farmer takes the tiger across, then goes back, gets one sheep and takes it across, once he's across he leaves the sheep and takes the tiger back to the first shore, where he leaves the tiger and picks up the second sheep. he takes the sheep across,then goes back for the tiger. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/y.gif who's the know-it-all now? sorry I brag too much

Air in your throat does not move when you swallow. *The throat contracts and squeezes food and beverage and bicycle parts downward. *But, air does move with it, I will grant you that. The answer then is that in the scale of the area of the throat where swallowing is carried out, air and other objects move at a speed of -dx45x.9perwol.
On the other hand, if you were referring to the little birdy called a swallow, due to the date and time and certain religious beliefs of cultures I am not involved in, such a question cannot be answered at this time. *For moral and socialogical reasons, of course. *But, don't you think Woodstock is so cute when he's flying toward Snoopy and the wind velocity blows him upside down and he keeps flying upside down? *Heh heh. *Flying birds are funny.
The meercat is my favorite woodland creature. *
I love those little dudes, standing on their hind legs with their heads forward, scouting for danger. *Once in one of the stores I worked in, somebody made a page over the loudspeaker, and the manager who was short stood up on her toes to look over the top of the aisle to see who paged her, and I told her, "You look like a meercat!" *She had no idea what I was talking about. *Most usually don't. :look:

Oh, yes, that. I figured two things...The change would explain the theme of the thread rather than appearing to be just about the guy...and, it would be amusing and make people curious about what it pertained to. I also considered adding "for 40 seconds" to it, but I thought I'd wait to see if you liked the first change. Do ya?

A comman is the masculine form of the usual comma. It is what seperates boy sentences from girl sentences. The ones that are stuck to the next word in front are the girly commas. Didn't you ever go to comma school?

Because they do not have opposable thumbs, and their claws wind up shredding the paper before it works, and they end up tearing their butts with their claws. If you had claws, you wouldn't use toilet paper either.

Bad support from the chairs they sit in for hours while posting, leads to arching of the back, stretching of the lower back and buttockal area, and thus a pain in their tucases.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>What kind of humour do they have?[/b][/quote]
A Hewmore is the brand of chair that they have, and the type of Hewmore that they own is the "Bidchexpressor." Although far from comfortable, the Bidchexpressor does wonders for the shy and inhibited in in enabling them to express themselves better and vent their buttockal discomfort upon others unfortunate enough to cross their paths.

1- They aren't. They are great with melted butter. Smart men eat their veggies. That's how Retort Man came to be so wise.
2- Wood chucks would not chuck wood and have no desire to. There was a mass woodchuck protest in Canada recently, due to unfair stereotyping by city folks who wrongly accused them of being wood chuckers.
3- Yes, floss is necessary. It's true usage is to maintain a space between each tooth to prevent them from crowding each other.

Retort Man, if I may be presumptuous, I would like to try to answer this one.
While many have had the chance to taste Taco Bell's taco, I do believe that there are very few who have had the chance to see Natalie Portman's taco, much less taste it. Although, I do believe that she is probably like everyone else, she probably buys the hard taco shells in the box at the supermarket, which are always much more difficult to eat than a soft-shelled taco supreme at Taco Bell.
If Retort Man does have an appropriate answer, having tasted both tacos, I myself would be quite impressed.

Because I forgot. This is not an easy job, you know. Being this wise does take a toll you know.
When, when, when. About 3 years ago I first came up with several ideas for the story and wrote a rough outline for a possible novel but with no real plans to seek a publisher for it. I was trying to work on several other stories at the time, but a few months later I took the story more seriously and set down to develope a draft summary. And that I did. The novel is not completed but the story is fully fleshed out with a descriptive start, a more detailed ending, and a lot of good stuff in between. The summary, what I call a detailed outline, is a good draft about 115 pages long. I worked on it more after that, but I haven't had time or organization to get back into it in more than a year. When I do get back to it, it is the first of a two book series, and although my story in my mind ends with book 2, further thought and development has led me to consider a 3rd for a solid trilogy.

The tree does not exist, because nothing is really real in the Matrix; it's all images projected into your mind. But you aren't supposed to know about that.
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, it will not make a sound. Even if there is somebody there to hear it, it still does not make a sound. The tree falling, and hitting the ground, causes vibrations in the air. The eardrum picks up those vibrations and sends the signals to the brain, which interprets the vibrations affecting the eardrum as sound. Without the eardrum to recieve and the brain to interpret the vibrations, there is no sound. Even with a person near to "hear" the fallen tree, there still is no sound. Sound is only in the mind, outside of which, there are merely vibrations in the air.

This is not the place to discuss anyone's banning. I like Amory, but if I kept writing T'bone messages insulting him and putting his efforts down, and sending him PM's with statements to upset him, he would ban me as well. But that is purely a hypothetical example, and cannot be discussed further in this thread. But rejoice, for you have Obi-Wan and Padme back.

Do'h! You have asked the Retort Man a question which spans the realm of knowledge and understanding, one of the most perplexing and likewise important questions the human race has yet had to deal with, a question only the Retort Man can answer satisfactorarily. But aren't you more concerned with Marilyn's relationship to the nuts and bolt patches and threads family of monstrousity? No? Alright then. Here is the answer you seek...Lily Munster was not a vampire. You misunderstood the relationship between her and Grampa, who certainly was a vampire. Grampa, the mad scientist, rather than Doctor Frankenstein, was the one who assembled Herman Munster from human and mechanical parts. He was Herman's creator. Anyone who recognized Lily's resemblance to the Bride of Frankenstein would have deduced that Grampa "created" her from the unlife as well. Eddie would have been a normal child born from two parents built from spare parts, but he was the result of too many spare animal follicles spliced in for extra flavoring and far too many hormone genes that leaked from haphhazardly kept test tubes.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Hello! Why do some people never grow up? [/b][/quote]
Some do not want to. Some are physically incapable due to a growth abnormality they were born with. Others are mentally incapable due to low levels of maturity hormones in their brains. Still more choose to act like children because they felt they missed out on their younger years and still strive to relive them. Certain people are remorseful and regretful because due to emotional problems such as long term permanent clinical depression, they never got to appreciate their lives when they were younger, and for that reason have hesitation regarding accepting their age and a past they cannot go back to.
And then, there are certain others who act annoying and outgoing simply because they are dying to have fun and that involves joking ceaselessly with others in the hopes that those others will joke back, even though some others either don't wish to or don't feel comfortable doing so in the same way.
Did that answer your question?

1-Because snails are not idiots. They have witnessed the cruel human act of pouring salt upon defenseless slugs to watch them dissolve, writhing in pain. The snails stay in their shells out of simple common sense; an attribute the suicidal slugs never seem to use.
2-White Man's Burden. Travolta played the other side of the racial fence well, portraying a white man suffering from the racism and segregation many black folks have long dealt with. It was a hard role for a white man to carry off convincingly, and he did it well.
3-Spider Man did not suck. It was a good movie. However, it was a one-timer viewing, not the kind of film with the right dialogue and action scenes to warrant enjoyment of multiple viewings. Yet, this summer it appeared to eclipse AOTC, the first time any Star Wars film was ever outdone by a competing film release.
4-My theory is that GL is planning with the Ultimate Edition to insert some prequel-related dialogue into that sequence to match Vader's gestures. On the other hand, in a cut slip of dialogue, Tarkin had admonished Vader, telling him, "You're losing your train of thought again you putz!. Once again you forgot what you were going to tell me, yet gestured with your hand out of confusion as if I was going to hear your silent words regardless."

I am not exactly sure if it is to be April 10 because seeing into the future is not my specialty without the assistance of my "Time to Look into the Future" thread. But what I do see in my fuzzy and vague visions are connections between your wedding and historic events of the past. They say Rome wasn't built in a day, but traditionally Rome is believed to have been founded on April 21st, 753B.C., and likewise your destined marriage wasn't built in a day, but will culminate in April of 2003. Also, the Library of Congress was established on April 24, 1800, and you are a librarian so there's a connection there. Pocahontas married John Rolfe on April 5th, so there is the romantic connection. Robert Peary reached what he claimed was the North Pole on April 6, 1909, and that fits with your name Blizzard, as well as you reaching for your husband's pole in April. Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's home run record on April 8, 1974, and I see some guy scoring another type of home run on that date in 2003. Yuri Gagarin was the first man to orbit the Earth on April 12, 1961, and I see some guy, possibly of Russian descent, going around the world with you. Paul Revere made his famous ride on April 18, 1775, shouting "The British are coming!", so that might coincide with your wedding night, possibly with a British husband. Also on April 18, the San Fransisco fire and earthquake began in 1906, and the vision shows your passions being ignited and someone rocking your world, so maybe your future husband will be a half and half Brit/Russian raised in San Fransisco, who marries you and gives you his Rice a Rony, "the San Fransisco treat". But more importantly, April is the flowering of Spring which began in March, and in April the birds fly north again, small animals that hibernate come out of their hibernation, the birds and the beez start buzzing and sucking nectar from the flowers already blooming. They also say that April showers bring May flowers, so something wet may bring some growth from something long overdue. And that is why I am absolutely certain that your wedding will be in April of 2003. Or 2004.

RAD,
The TV show, Trading Spaces is a show my mom is, too, obsessed with. And it interrupts some of the occasionally good programing on TLC.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Mr. Retort Man, Why are younger brothers so annoying? [/b][/quote]
Because you are ANNOYABLE. Little brothers are like mosquito bites. The more you scratch them, the more annoying the itch becomes. If you leave the window of opportunity open, they will flap and flutter in like invited vampires and become pain in the necks. Wait, hold that, that was the answer about older sisters I was giving you. My bad. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif
Where was I? Oh yes, younger brothers, why are they so annoying? Because you are annoyable, and you let them annoy you. Big sisters, the next time little brothers annoy you, threaten to give your girlfriends a tour of their "clean" underwear drawer, and then do it. I assure you, little brothers will either never annoy you again, or they will become more careful of skid marks next time. :roll:

Cause you're a female, and females like going into other people's houses and passing judgement on their furnishings and choice of decor, and deciding how they could make their neighbor's rooms look better. And because if someone else paid for the changes and supplied the materials, (http://tlc.discovery.com/fansites/tradingspaces/tradingspaces.html) females would jump at the chance to show their neighbors how they think their neighbors should live.
You obsession comes from your dissatisfaction with one of the rooms of the home of one of your neighbors, and your nagging desire to redecorate that room to your own taste and style with someone else's money, while showing off your own decorative choices on tv.

Refer to Rule 11 and Rule 12.
#11) This thread will be geared more toward the message board fans of the older generation, plus those younger who can handle it here.
#12) Although I am a moderator, here I am the Retort Man*. You can be a little looser in this thread, but remember the board rules anyway. Respect all other participants here. Do not defy me. I am the Retort Man*.

Such brilliance comes with age and mileage. And for me, the benefit of being overwieght is that aquired and formulated knowledge is stored in my fat cells for quick access.

Two reasons. One reason is the constant interruptions of the 3 toes in between. The other reason is that toes don't have vocal chords.

I don't even like touching my own feet. I don't even like using yardsticks because they have three feet. I don't like breaking world records because those are feats. The Retort Man* has been repulsed.
