OK, so Nick Carbone and I chanced to meet at MediaMOO this week, and Nick says he's been at a meeting there, where he's been the "404 - File Not Found." This led us to thinking about all kinds of situations where you might say something similar: fr'instance, "Hey, I'm going 404 for the next coupla days because I'm really busy." Or maybe, referring to a dense or out-of-touch individual, you tap your head and say, "404." (The phrase, "one page shy of a website" might also be useful here . . . But surely there must be other uses of this wonderful metaphor. Marcy (waiting)

Something.

This is the Internet Police, division of Internet graffiti, and you are all under arest for violation of statute 404, code 3, section B-12. I am afraid that the penalties for such infracctions are punishable by death, or by having your computer amputat ed, or both, or maybe they're the same. Cease and desist all further actions!

this site stinks!!!

Stinks? Wow. Cool. The first case of digital aroma! What a breakthrough.

the words of the prophets are written on the RhetRoom wall

"nulli certa domus" --Musaeus in the Aeneid (VI, 673)

stop taking yourselves so seriously. I stopped taking you seriously long ago.

Hey, Susan, what's the world's oldest profession?

The world's oldest profession? Rhetoric, of course, since in the beginning, there was The Word!

In the beginning was rhetoric
Words, if to flatter, were heretic
Yet no institution
is sans prostitution
And so words can some times turn a trick.

What's 'nulli certa domus' mean? The only latin I know I got from monty python's the life of brian. romans go home!

Okay--You asked for it. Herewith a LIMERICK:
Observing my fellow rhetoricians,
They seem most dextrous magicians:
They've shown grades are a no-go
And four-oh-foured pomo,
And proved prols don't talk like patricians.

There once was rhetor who drank port
In his pocket was a killer retort
Over a bug he did trip
and landed on the quip
causing his career to @abort.

There is a time in every man's life when he must look in front of him and see what really isn't there...

My midwife of a professor assigns topics to argue without consulting her students' preferences. I get something I don't want to argue. In fact, I believe the position she's chosen for me is wrong- dead wrong. I'd probably drop the class. I'll never profess to believe something, even hypothetically, for educational ends. A bad position should not be explored for "good arguments."

Please check out our graphics version of "wall" tech, in java it will allow you to draw in threaded discussion groups (both on-line paint and text commentary available.) http://www.ac.rosebud.com Please suggest comments for improvement, feedback, suggestions to use it in teaching scenarios.

In regard to current traditional practitioners, there comes a time in the affairs of teachers when they must take the bull by the tail and face the situation.

Sweet Merciful Crap!

I think that the idea of this virtual community has potential, the crap that passes for humor is tired though. I guess, no one wants to be serious. What do people think of how this naked faceless writing is erasing our real convictions about personal truth and meaning. Marc F. (serious)

You know what they say about paradigms...shift happens. I'd like to credit the author of this phrase but I don't know who it is!
