(for the pagans and wiccans on IW)

IF BILL GATES WROTE A BOOK ON WICCA...

1) The book would be called Windows to the Goddess

2) Iconology would be a major chapter

3) A revised edition would be released approximately every 6 months, without which your magik would no longer work

4) Your broom would crash at least once a week

5) Cauldrons would be called recycle bins

6) A Book of Shadows would be called a Folder of Magik

7) A free high-speed connection spell would come with every book

8) Every now & then your circle would collapse & you would have to
perform the re-boot ritual to get it working again

9) If you used the more powerful NT Magik, all circles within a 5 mile
radius would go down

10) At least once a month you would have to re-install your spells
into your Folder of Magik

11) You would have to use a start ritual to exit your circle (& cakes
& wine would only be served after a sign from the Goddess that it was safe to do so.)

::seriously considering the question::

It would depend on whether it were the latest beta XP besom or an older version.....

7, 8 and 9 in particular! :D

ROFLOL !!! [img]graemlins/nicekitty.gif[/img]

Best laugh I've had for a long, long, time ..

Its a shame that the laws of karma don't seem to apply to Microsoft.
Imagine if every time a privately owned PC had a Windows crash, 3 Microsoft computers crashed as well??

Cute, Garnet. :D I've got a good joke about how each Wiccan tradition would respond to the old chicken-crossing-the-road joke, but it's kinda esoteric. ;) So let me add, instead, this one about how each astrological sun sign would respond to the joke about how many people it takes to screw in a lightbulb:

How Many Members of Your Sign Does It Take to Change a Lightbulb?

ARIES: Just one. Wanna make something of it?

TAURUS: Are you absolutely positive that lightbulb is burned out? I hate to throw it away if it still might be useful.

GEMINI: Probably one is best, because if there are more than one, they'll get so wrapped up in talking to each other that they'll forget all about the lightbulb.

CANCER: Only one, but three therapists will be needed to help with the grieving process.

LEO: Leos do not change their own lightbulbs. They find someone else to do it for them.

VIRGO: 1.11111119873, give or take .00000000000013%.

LIBRA: Well, I could do it, unless of course you'd prefer to do it, but you look sort of busy right now. What do you want to do?

SCORPIO: None, because Scorpios aren't afraid of the dark.

SAGITTARIUS: The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got the rest of our lives ahead of us and you're worrying about a stupid light bulb?

CAPRICORN: I don't have time for these foolish jokes.

AQUARIUS: Well, you see, energy is really matter and matter is really energy and light is a form of energy but the light bulb is matter, and--

PISCES: What light bulb?

Nachtrafe 01-29-2002 03:30 AM

ROFL!!! Being a Gemini, I am in total agreement of how we would react to the light bulb. Although I *would* be interested in the othe wicca joke. Could you email or PM it to me fable? [img]smile.gif[/img]
