Jokes, puns, and satire are not "interesting;" they are "humorous" or "funny." Expressions of praise or concern are not "interesting;" they are "kind" and "thoughtful." A tragic or heroic story isn't "interesting;" it's moving. Not all utterances worth saying are "interesting." Jokes, puns, and satire are not "interesting;" they are "humorous" or "funny."

As wisely stated, if you've nothing (interesting) to say, say nothing. But that man made me laugh. Thanks for the link. If there is intelligent design, I'd change the designer if these people result.

Was this printed on 1st April? So america in 1600's disproves Trotsky's theory of permanent revolution and went from peasant economy to capitalism via socialism in rapid succession. Damn. I've been reading the wrong materialist versions of history/economics. I thought Thanksgiving, being a non-american, was just excuse for big story line in sitcoms? If pushed, I buy into version from Addam's Family 2. ps weren't the Pilgrim Fathers some weird christian sect (as if any ain't weird to me). Damn lazy christians. Were they expecting free fish and loaves? I'm saying nothing about Sinter Klaas (last night, 5th) in Holland where I'm working from. They have 'Black Piet" who scares the kids if they have been bad and don't deserve a present. They still have this even now. A guy with bootpolish on face. To say I was shocked when I 1st saw it was understatement. Hahaha.
