I Used to Have Mad Cow Disease, But I'm Alright Noooooooooooooo...
The sheer intelligence around here is stunning. ("Here" meaning work.)

I was sitting across my desk, watching my charming (ahem!) co-worker, Carl, review his retirement plan (Well... The Georgia Lottery's version of a retirement plan - a crossword scratch off ticket) while chitchatting about generic stuff when some of the letters on his crosswords caught my eye...


Me: Hey, Carl... What's a "copire."

Carl: I think it's "co-pire."

Silence follows as he continues to scratch off the letters.

Carl: Oh! Wait! That says "copier"!


Oh yes. We are that smart
.


 
 
   
 

The Ballad of Bad Carl
Bad Carl, he was a coward
but somehow he always won the fight
he'd get all liquored up, and stumble into town
in the middle of the night

now Lizzie Bath, she was a naughty nurse
she was married to another man
but that sure didn't stop her from wanting to suck dry
Carl's tired eyes and bleeding hands

the more he'd scream no
the more he pushed her away
the more she wanted him
and so he'd grab her by the hair and say

"can't ya see that I've seen too much
there are secrets you cannot fathom
things that you can see but ya just cannot touch"

now Warrick Bath, he ran the telegraph
he heard that Carl had laid hands on his wife
so he found him in his cave, and dragged him into the sun
where he planned to cremate Carl's life

the more he screamed no
the more he grovelled and begged
the more Warrick hurt him
and so inbetween sobs he said

"can't ya see that I've seen too much
there are secrets you cannot fathom
things that you can see but ya just cannot touch"

as Warrick raised his ritual samurai sword
a shadow fell, and a sandstorm blew over his head
a pterodactyl swooped down with a hideous screeching sound
and carried Warrick off in the opposite direction of town...

to a hole in the ground

As Lizzie walks past these chinese temples
these heavy pillars and palaces
from the big room, to the lacy, dainty icicles
she hears a voice that softly says

"can't ya see that I've seen too much
there are secrets you cannot fathom
things that you can see but ya just cannot touch"
 
 
 

   
Pretty Song Lyrics
These are lyrics in Latin written in the 1200s from the "Carmina Burana" later put to music by Carl Orff.  It is absolutely gorgeous, and the lyrics aren't that bad either.  On  the right is a rough translation.


Ama me fideliter,                                  Love me faithfully!

fidem meam noto:                                 See how I am faithful:

de corde totaliter                                  with all my heart

et ex mente tota                                    and with all my soul,

sum presentialiter                                  I am with you

absens in remota,                                  even when I am far away.

quisquis amat taliter,                              Whosoever loves this much

volvitur in rota.                                       turns on the wheel.
