FINALLY, we know what's wrong with most posters here...

Quote
Witzelsucht (the Germans just have the best words for everything, don't they?) is a brain dysfunction that causes all sorts of compulsive silliness: bad jokes, corny puns, wacky behavior. It's also sometimes called the "joking disease," and as Taiwanese researchers phrased it in a 2005 report, it's a "tendency to tell inappropriate and poor jokes."

I don't think I need to say anymore...

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Let's change the APS into "The Witzelsucht Company"!





Witzelsucht, from the German witzeln, meaning to joke or wisecrack, and sucht meaning addiction or yearning, is a set of rare neurological symptoms characterized by the patient's uncontrollable tendency to make puns, tell inappropriate jokes and pointless or irrelevant stories at inconvenient moments. The patient nevertheless finds these utterances intensely amusing. It is associated with small lesions of the orbitofrontal cortex.

Well, I for one welcome the lesion of new overlords from the orbitofrontal cortex.

All hail the orbitofrontal cortex!

stay safe.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Maybe we can get the firefighters to do a boot drive for us on April 1st.  There could be a telethon for "Oleg's Kids".

Glad I spotted this thread!  I was gonna give them some good tips over on the circumcision thread until I read this one.

And if Witzelsucht is supposed to mean "wiseacre," why isn't it called "Witzel0.4ha?"

Ha?  Why's that?

Okay that's definative proof that there should be an organization of "Olegs Kids".

And I am sure that there is a very real medical condition of sucking weasels......I believe they're called politicians.
