 RW>> LOL! Logic failed you then.

 PL>> I did, with the exception (I believe) of my oppinion on barrels

 RW>> Ummm, not possible. You see, there is more than one definition of a
 RW>> barrel. You've been hornswaggled into believing that Stewie is
 RW>> talking about a barrel made of wood and steel rings, while we've
 RW>> been talking about gun barrels. Barrels don't rattle, in either case

 RW>> that anology in an attempt to save himself from being laughed out of
 RW>> the echo. Of course it failed. He's still the laughing stock of the
 RW>> echo, and you're the fool who's getting to the same stage.

 FS> There are also "oil barrels" which aren't made of wood ... they,
 FS> too, don't rattle when empty ...

 PL>> ****NEXT DEBATE*** Can an empty barrel get you drunk? ;>  Those
 PL>> rattle, and still -hold- liquid too ;> Even though empty.

 RW>> Empty barrels don't rattle. Take an empty barrel, set it on a
 RW>> pedestal and see if you can hear it rattle when left undisturbed.
 RW>> The only way to hear a rattle is to hit it, which is an induced
 RW>> sound wave that isn't conducive to the barrel in its natural state.

 PL>> I still can't share the answers as it's not my place, and I ask
 PL>> -you- (as I know you -can- figure things out) to please think on it
 PL>> and prove to us that you're objective by just giving a big
 PL>> (WHADYAKNOW) when you discover the facts.

 RW>> LOL! Whadyaknow, the barrel still doesn't rattle.

 PL>>   You'll be better respected for it,

 RW>> I'd rather be right than aquire ill gotten respect.

 PL>>  and not viewed in such a stubborn old dog light as you are now by
 PL>> jumping to a guys aid whose views on things have already
 PL>> controdicted yours (even though -you- don't see it, yet jump to his
 PL>> "aid" anyway).

 RW>> Trying to split us up, eh...of course we're wise to your
 RW>> tactics...misery loves company, if you can't beat um, try to convice
 RW>> them to join us...sure I won't.

 FS> He's doing his damnedest to wiggle his way out of the "rattling
 FS> empty barrel" thing ... *somehow* ... without admitting that he's
 FS> been wrong ... he swallowed the hook, now he can't shake it out
 FS> ... heh heh heh ...

And that, sir, is what is known as a Babel Fish! heh heh heh...
