That's got a lot of potential that one.

 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by Trillian's Child Do you mean to say that on the whole of h2g2 no one has come up with anything witty in seven days?
We should be thoroughly ashamed of ourselves.

 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by Trillian's Child I blame 2legs - he can usually be relied on to make some surreal comment at least once a week.

 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by The h2g2 Editors It's not your fault. I don't have time to look properly. Up against it a bit this week. I'll be checking this thread regularly though.

if you need a combination of brainpower and willpower, look elsewhere

 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by Trillian's Child What about this from the poppy thread:
F19585?thread=7021042&skip=18&show=1
It's not funny, but "insightful" and topical.

 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by Reddyfreddy Vat is 15% until 31st December 2009. Not terribly original/funny/interesting/insightful, but at least it has the virtue of accuracy.

 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by Xanatic, juice for Allah I“m afraid the quote about the mandate of the masses is nicked from Monty Python. Couldn“t you use something from where Julzes declares himself the messiah?

 Posted Oct 29, 2009 by The h2g2 Editors The poppy quote got me. It is indeed insightful - some folk mistake wearing a poppy as somehow an act of siding with 'war' in general when really it is, what the quote says, a potent anti-war symbol while at the same time marking respect for those that died.
