> Here's a paradox: Absolute monarchs in our society are supposedly evil. The definition of an absolute monarch is a person who has Rex at the end of his name. Yet our poster OddipusRex has Rex at the end of his name.

You fucking slay me! That is funniest post I've read in long time. Thanks for puttin' yer noggin' to use for our amusement and to continue to try to get Dr. Bob to CLARIFY just what the hell he means half the time with his ambiguity and hit and miss enforcements of his civility rules---yeah, the ones always in flux.
You are funny in a good-ha-ha kind of way....made me laugh a real oxygen breathin' laugh.
Thanks.
