Another glitch I guess. Congratulations to Bob and Sergy. They said with a few words what I couldn`t do with hundreds of words. Thinking and clarity of thought is a skill to train. Thanks for this exercise. I`m looking forward to the next quiz. Tom Vosdf realize that the answer was not complete. Another glitch I guess.

I enjoyed thinking about the question and reading the comments. Needless to say that I learnt a lot from this. What I learnt about myself is to be more persistant and thorough. I got the part with the lighthouse and the conversation down because I know nothing about lighthouses. And I would`ve continued the conversation in some way. And I got the part with the void (I used the word vacuum) that has to be filled and saw that as the reason for people believing in urban myths. The same reason why people believe in scenes filled with bs by Hollywood. And for some reason I forgot to "close" the answer. I realized that the day after. I desperately wanted to go to sleep and didn`t realize that the answer was not complete. Another glitch I guess. Congratulations to Bob and Sergy.

You’re a prick and I’d have a good laugh with a flag pole up your backside.

But then, you’d probably enjoy it.

Quick, name your favorite female comedian from Saudi Arabia. Not a whole lot of free speech going on there. THe more violent and insane the culture, the less comedy you'll find. Oh there will be something that passes for comedy and it will get a laugh. Like the stand up routine Kim Jong Il does at his comedy club in North Korea " I tightened that piano wire around my general's neck so tight his eyes bugged out like a frog" (everyone appplauds at Dear Leader's brilliant sense of timing and wit) See I've been around chronically violent people and they do have their own kind of humor, its just f'n brutal and violent. I caught myself laughing as hard as you'd laugh at a joke by Cambodian comedian Pol Pot if you were in his killing fields and he was throwing out his best one liners on how the sounds people made when he killed them. Ok too heavy? Well I'm just reflecting on the insight at the beginning of the article, you can probably determine the intellectual health of a society by the number of comedy clubs that exist and also the degree of oppression by the lack of them. If you love free speech , check out Pat Condell on YouTube. He rocks. For some reason though he doesn't get booked at a lot of Muslim comedy clubs.

I thought that was just a Brit term, so I guess globalization IS here. As for freedoms and rights, these get abused and shit-upon daily by our dear rulers in the name of security and freedom. Cheeky Wankers! Regards Ronnie Hey John
