Someone did something today to somebody. It is believed that some else is looking for someone as well but nobody is sure. Further updates in our afternoon edition.
Great fish wrap the SMH.Posted by surfmaster on 2006 12 22 at 08:18 PM • permalinkIt must be a time loop causing this virtually same story to appear again and again or, at least, some form of temporal distortion. Is paco or wronwright out there with the Tardis right now? Can you help end this vicious cycle, guys, can you? It must be getting worse because now the postings are coming just a day or so apart instead of the former weeks or days between such postings. At this rate the time-space continuum will see two, or even more, Science help us, postings of this nature in a row! For the love of Science help us! Help us!
Posted by andycanuck on 2006 12 22 at 08:19 PM • permalinkI demand they stop this rampant sexism!! Its all a plot to bring us males into disrepute, we the poor suffering weaker sex, who are hugely overrepresented in stories linked to rape, muder, arson, fraud, assault and DUI.
It shatters the poor self esteem of all men struggling to make their way in a world which cruely stgmatises them as aggressive yobs who do all their thinking below the belt.
/confused lefty off.In line with thier policy on not revealing any ethnicity how do they justify even giving out the sex?
Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2006 12 22 at 09:25 PM • permalinkI wasn’t sure what a “singlet” was, so I googled it. Wikipedia defines it thusly: “In theoretical physics, a singlet usually refers to a one-dimensional representation (e.g. a particle with vanishing spin).” Well, no wonder he was a man of no appearance, thought I. But I suspected maybe that was the wrong connotation, so I re-googled, and saw something that suggested a professional wrestling outfit. So, the guy wore pomaded hair and was turned out like Chief Wahoo McDaniel. Perhaps the police figured that was more than enough for a positive ID.
# 10 - paco, a singlet is traditional aussie wear, local hero Chesty Bond wore them throughout the 20th century. (He fought for strewth, justice and cotton underwear in every aussie home). The singlet was later adopted as the uniform of truckies, (long distance truck drivers), and was part of a uniform ensemble of blue singlet, stubbies shorts and work-cover approved thongs. Truckies are certainly not known for their professional wrestling prowess!!

Hmmm - “blue singlet, stubbies shorts and work-cover approved thongs.” And you say truckers dress like this? You’re not talking about in the privacy of their own homes, you’re talking about in public? Interesting. Very interesting, indeed.
Singlet.
Also part of the shearer’s uniform… oh OK, almost any australian bloke’s uniform. Shearer. (I think that the shearer’s singlet is called a Jackie Howe after it’s inventor.)Anybody else read Adele Horin’s column in today’s SMH?
She tells us that there’s “nothing more aggravating than nostalgic baby boomers who think the pinnacle of the good life was reached circa 1971”. Then goes on to say how much better university was back in the 70s. (And fails to understand that students today are different to the ones then and - surprisingly - have different priorities)
What a clueless old woman.
“one-dimensional representation”
“imbibulations”
“calumnists”Holy dictionaries and conceptualizations Batman! That’s just too much for a Yojimbo on one thread. I have to sit for awhile.
Granted I’m slow but just how do you do a one-dimensional representation!? Is that on the X-axis ONLY? Or the Y-axis ONLY?
Even Herbert Marcuse is spinning in his grave on that one.No, but you are missing the point of it.
Cheers

If I understand the process correctly it works like this:
The fact that it works equally well on either axis, independent of the other axis is proof that it is a universal constant.
You can miss low or wide left and still maintain the exact same degree of accuracy in absolute minutes of arc.
# 29 - say what? I think I might head off for a cup of tea and a nice lay down.

The police have called for calm, emphasising that the descriptions of actual humans derives from eye-witness accounts but that it would not be appropriate to cast aspersions on other human beings known to frequent the vicinity.”
Chairorganism for the Protection of Ethnic Rights, Margot Hudson, said “It is irresponsible for the media to label these perpetrators as humans when research suggests they stem from a broad strata of the animal kingdom.”
Gaia Apsotate, Al Fisk said it was time to stop singling out the animal kingdom when landslides and earthquakes contributed to statistically more assaults on persons per year.
Cindy Monbiot, however, has challenged this assumption. “I condemn the bigoted attacks on innocent earthquakes and landslides, which have only occurred because of the destructive actions of successful capitalist white men from Western backgrounds.”
All concurred with Ms Monbiot’s analysis.
#29,Grimmy
“Well, there you go again!” You went all mathy on me. I should have prefaced my question with"from a Yojimbo common sense and in the ordinary language meaning of the term.”
At the risk of missing the point again. The reference was to a particle.
A particle is matter.
Matter has form.
Form is multi-dimensional. It must exist on the x,y and z planes at a minimum(no string theory please!) I did say I was slow!Cricket…Paco…cricket
What is this “cricket” you speak of?
Some ancient ritual?
Some Aussie internet site perhaps?#40 Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

Makes you wonder why the SMH even bothers to reports these crimes if they don’t want to give potential witnesses enough information to jog their memory.
