Hi sig!

You are boring nobody bothers reading sVtxt!

 

sig: Yeah! I know. Theres that memetic disease,i sometimes cant handle.

 

Hi: So youre well now?

 

sig: Sorry once infected you stay infected, but you can keep it in check: 1 King Pawn to King four...Your move!

 

Hi: No prob the board is free,I see no danger ...C this Ztalölion... King Knight to Bishop Quart (Obviously 3 Duh! ill check the rules, i seem to have tried introducting an impossible move)

 

sig: Yeah! Dont let your eyes leave the chessboard. King pawn advances one step!

 

Hi: let me think...

 

 

And there ill leave the two figments of my imagination...

 

Inviting you to a story: The Oracle at Delphi.

 

Chapter one: Suppose you are an adventurer,some Mr Jones,and you have discovered a secret door, to a secret room, in what once was the livingroom of the oracle at delphi.

 

Your expertise tells you that the door hasnt been opened in some 3000 years or so...and inside you find a modern looking but definitely old document case with a document inside, it says:

 

You are the adventurer Mr Jones,Mr Jones, and you have just found a document hidden in the ruins of the temple at delphi,What will you do with it?

 

Almost paralyzed you decide this is no case for Mr Jones,

this problem needs proper expertise.Right?

(End of chapter one)

 

Any ideas? Suggestions? The story is impossible? Is there a logical explanation? Cant you wait until i figure it out? (ha ha)

Dammit Sig, :blink: :huh: I read everything you post and none of it is boring. I'm just not on your plane.

I would love to engage you if I could only follow you. I sense a frustration that I probably share and yet I'm stuck on the ground while you soar above me.

ahem (coffing)

 

Hi there Knotty

Im happy that we are friends

Theres edition warning in sVtexts

Most of it will be edited out

The first duty of an author is get rid of what works poorly

dont save it for periods when you have no new ideas!

 

What!! You read?? I have three readers me myself and you? :blink:

Do you watch the slow explosion in the truth about untruth?

 

Can u read music? Do you play an instrument. Do you sing? In short: what did you learn in life so far dear little wolf of mine?

 

Can you write? hmmm... could be useful u know, suppose u tell me later how you happened to find the secrete passage between the institute and the cold handed bar (where the wolf lair IN THE STORY is situated) just imagine yor a weenie little wolfling watching the professor or the secretary...or...Dont wiorry ill probably edit it out :)

But beware! if DrWatts or DrFreud catches you ull end up a lab animal

 

I think we should exchange email adresses in case i get banished silenced or whatever...

sigurdvojnov@ hotmail.se

 

 

The story is for real insofar as there are at least a handful of chapters in swedish...

DAMN! Swedish jokes dont carry over easily into anglish...

 

Actually your IN the story but i would like to know more of you ,your life and your wiews Youre a wolfling dont you remember?

U live at the wolves lair , your quite adventurous and...

 

Some names in the story are in swedish and are untranslatable...

 

yeah! Try translate a "swedish sentense" like: "this is swedish" into english!

 

... soon a professor is introduced,his name is "Pratagoya". The name has a greek flavor "Protagoras" but "prata" means "speak" and "goya" is close both to "parrot" and to "goja" which means "bullshit"... So his name becomes Professor "speaking bullshit like a parrot"! Also "goya" is a famous painter So the profs famous sentence "You say im speaking goya but im speaking picasso" makes heavy sense!

 

The Oracle at Delphi

Continued

 

...so professor "P", I decided to come to the institute for Applied Semantics

and get your opinion.

 

prof p: (patting the briefcase) There was a document in it you say?

 

Mr Jones. Yeah, here it is...

 

prof: hmmm interesting, are you really sure the secret door hasnt been opened in some 3000 years?

 

Jones: Sir! Im Quintiana Jones! Im never wrong in archeological matters.

 

prof: You didnt smuggle away some documents did you?

 

Jones: One, i repeat: one document was in it!

 

prof: Oh...well...Heres whats in it now !Whats your opinion:

 

The first statement is not true!

The first statement is the statement

that the first statement is not true.

Isnt then the first statement true?

 

Jones:Its philosophy isnt it?

 

prof: Approximately true: Its logic! Theres a slight differense ;)

 

Its called "Paradox", this one is some 3000 years old...And so is the briefcase...I suspect this is not coincidence!

 

Jones:Through them ruins i rambled,ive seen lots of mysterious things, but a 3000 year old briefcase of modern design, I never saw before..

 

Drawn deep into the mystery our heroes dont notice the briefcase spitting out two papers... one into the wastebasket, the other on the desk...

 

The door opens ... a secretary enters...

 

prof! Theres chaos at the entrance! Journalists there are asking what strange things are happening here... The receptionist threatens to quit her job unless you do something!

 

The room is immediately emptied the secretary looks at desk

 

The Oracle at Delphi

A forewarning by the author:

 

Lets look into my mind. Empty? Not quite! See them skeleton looking things in the corner over there? They are habits, they cant be removed since they are supposed to do the job of removing, so on request they try to vanish and afterwards they return to their proper place.

 

The idea of looking at me working wasnt as smart as I thought...

Eh? A document? Lets see what it says:

 

The secretary: What!? A paper on his desk! How can this be?

This is a paperless office, where did you come from?

(takes the document and reads)

Oh my! Youre a clever one arent you?

You claim youre not on the desk...

Well i found you there! And you were lying!

Now, in my hand, you suddenly repent and tells the truth!

And you also say you are not in the wastebasket?

Well little one, now its too late for truth!

The truth of the matter is that i will put you there.

The oracle of Delphi

Another day. At the reception

 

Hi im your guide... see this badge? :ghost:

 

Youll need to have your badges on all the time.

 

You wouldnt like being examined by Dr Watts so keep them on!

 

Well...This here is the reception area, notice them statues at the walls

they are not works of art they are visitors who forgot their badges at home.

 

And here is our receptionist (Points at a seemingly empty spot):

The loveliest woman in the world!

She goes by the name of Queen Medusa ,

and if you could see into her green eyes you would turn into a statue!

 

Please dont take off your badges...eh...

it really is worth it and it makes my job easier

but I do like company.

Lets go see Dr Watts, Badges on and he cant notice you!

 

(The little adventurous wolfling in the corner has his own use for statues...

So this is the real world outside my lair he thinks.)

The Oracle at Delpi

The secretary

 

She snoozes in her chair but is awaked by voices from the corridor.

 

Qintian: Do I smell smoke?

 

prof: Its only my sweet secretary

taking a smoke brake

she smokes 12 packets a day

refuses to open the dirty windows

we tried getting a window cleaner but...

 

What!? The wastebasket is on fire! What happened here?

 

(What once was paper is now coal)

 

Im afraid we must consult Dr Watts...

 

Q grabs the briefcase and P the basket.

 

Walks away. The blushing secretary hides her face in both pretty little hands...

 

Q:I never heard anyone say "Go to Hell Bloody Newshunters!" so convincing,

where did you learn that?

 

P:Once we had a monk from monkoliet here to study

and while he was filling in formulae

i happened to hear he was humming

and playing with the overtones...

He was humming a duet!

I studied the technique and now im able to orchestrate my words...

I think i used a C Major thirteenth this time.

It worked splendidly. Right?(C diminished)

 

Q:(With a somewhat strained expression...) Wow! Useful!

 

P: I think we are here!

(The sign says Physics Laboratory.)

Th Oracle at Delphi

the guided tour

 

Here is our widowcleaner Dr sV ...Watching a childrens toy...well well i suppose them exceptions gets silly in time. Be very silent he is the only known immune to Major Quintum Effects. Cheese badges work (but poorly) since a Major chord is approxically a Minor chord and his immunity to Minor Quintum effects is weaker...Obviously we cant fire him we should hire another windowcleaner since he claims to be allergic to work...All ghe does all day itseems is zmoking his pipe playing his guitar (and computer) with his funny thinking hat on. (authors remark: in old swedosh mucical notation b=h)

 

The wolfling enters: So why did we come here, werent we going to see dr Watts? He thinks.

 

sV: Hi little wolfling i have a job for you!

 

The little wolfling thinks: You must be yoking sigurd, i wont clean any windows !
