Is OWS just another name for "the opebos"?

I think opebo actually bathes regularly.

These guys are more like bandit.  Remember him?

[angus]

at least 0.5% of society

I can't imagine 1.5 million Americans thus affected.

opebo is singularly affected.  a zero in the denominator of an otherwise harmonious equation. If the world is 1/(x-a), where is x is an element of the set of real numbers, then opebo is x=a.  Here, there is only one real value of x which makes the world undefined.  Note that x=a is real, but the world has no defined functional value at the point of his existence, and because of his existence.  Not indeterminant (as the numerator still makes sense), just undefined.  There is only one such singularity, so the plural form of opebo is neither necessary nor desirable.

your posting of that math was just as annoying as you intended it to be.

    Glad to be of service. 


jmfcst, not exactly irrelevant.  After all, the standard hot big bang model of the origin of the elements requires a quantum singularity (a zero in the denominator of an equation) in order to set the expansion/cooling in motion some 13.7 billion years ago.  If you happen to live in this universe, then it's quite relevant.  But if you were God and got to select, at random, some version of the cosmic timeline while putting your omniscience on hold so you couldn't know which one contains opebo (and jmfcst and angus), your likelihood of picking one of the boring ones would be, like, 10^43 times the likelihood of randomly picking the interesting one.  Luckily, God didn't turn off his omnicience and choose at random.  Otherwise we'd not have been able to enjoy each other's company. 

But, yeah, more or less as relevant as 1 in 300 million, so not very relevant.

opebo <<  jmfcsts on the political revelance scale

quite.


opebo<<<<<<<<<<<<angus<CARLHAYDEN<jmfcst.  Maybe something like that.

But beware, the multi-decade trend is probably something like  opebo<<<<CARLHAYDEN<<<angus=jmfcst

glad to know you'll be joining us...see you in church soon

Ha!  out of context.

Funny you mention that, though.  When we were first married, my wife tried to get me to attend a church.  But after I put her off, she dropped it for several years.  Lately, for the past couple of years my son has been in public schools, she is bringing it up again.  With increasing frequency.  Wants to take the boy to church.  She's got a touchy-feely interdenominational Christian megachurch all picked out, even.

A nonpracticing, nominal atheist dragging her nonpracticing, nominal monotheist husband to church.  Strange days indeed.
