Thanks a lot Kristine.  I was finally almost out of therapy, and now this.  Sure, make fun of the caveman.  I'll just bet this makes you feel human.  You Sapiens sapiens are all the same.  (Unless you're a blog owner, or blog poster on UD, then you're sub-caveman on the old intellectual  totem pole.  Or, unless you have a BIGG BUTT, or like a BIGG BUTT, which I do not, but Dembski and DaveScott do.)

I know that Jeanne d'Arc was burnt, of course, but I still don't get it.

Louis Posts: 6436 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: April 06 2007,13:46    Jeannot, You present me with a quandry! Explaining a very stupid and puerile play on words is probably more painful for you than me! To that end: See here for more info. Also here. See here for one of the best exponents of the genre. Remember: they were not GOOD jokes. This is probably why you don't get them, they were simply too bad to be worth getting. The general idea is that one forces phrases or words into sentences to humorous effect because these words or phrases bear some reference to a previous word or phrase or concept. So because Jean d'Arc was burnt alive at the stake, many puns using fire/burning terminology can then be made. For example the first pun I made up thread was about Waterloo, Dembski repeatedly declared that evolutionary biology had met it's Waterloo, this thread is about the forgery of a famous French skeleton, the Piltdown man was another famously forged skeleton often brought up by creationists, thus because there is a French fake skeleton banging around I can declare a Dembskian Waterloo. You posted that you would having trouble completing your PhD due to this fake skeleton. I of course assume this is a humorous remark. Thus combining this remark with comments about fire/burning I can continue the hilarity! Like I said, I never claimed they were GOOD jokes. I'm off to commit comedy suicide. Louis -------------- Bye.

I was just refering to Bob's post Quote I guess you're not the only one to have got your fingers burnt. That I didn't get. Fingers burnt? I know what it meant for Jeanne d'Arc, but for a graduate student...?

Louis Posts: 6436 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: April 06 2007,18:45    Jeannot, Ah I see, then please forgive me for boring you so intensely. I admit I was surprised by what I (obviously mistakenly) thought was your question and should have thought about it before replying. No offence intended, and none taken I hope. Do you know the idiom/expression "getting your finger burnt"  (i.e. Meaning that one has been harmed/punished or suffered some loss (usually financial) due to some event)? Louis -------------- Bye.

jeannot Posts: 1201 Joined: Jan. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: April 07 2007,02:50    I didn't know the expression. Now I understand. Thanks.
