Somebody discovered Monty Python...

Hobby Horsing in Scandinavia. Oddly, the news comes from New Zealand. Maybe nobody between Sweden and New Zealand could believe it was true!

When did you actually live in reality?

Wow. Such anger. That's sad, really.

Anger? Someone so hell bent on reading what is written shouldn't be trying to read between lines that are not there. Was nothing more than a simple question.

All right, I'll engage a bit here.

The idea of "reality" that I started with was setting the scene for some humor. The response veered WAY far away from humor!

And is your question simple? The words you used were few and simple, but no less a mind than Stephen Hawking "expresses a radically skeptical view of reality in general," according to Steven Weinberg, "The Universes We Still Don't Know," New York Review of Books, February 10, 2011. Weinberg is a Nobel laureate in Physics. He disagrees with Hawking: "Like most people, I believe there is something real out there... I can't help believing in an objective reality." See? Not so simple.

We coulda just kept it in the realm of humor.

As usual, RIGHT over your head. My response was that of humor as well. Shame you could not see that. Carry on.

My post isn't humor and it isn't meant to be angry or mean. It's just an observation based here in my reality.

Ernie focuses on punctuation and sentence structure so much that he often misses the messages. Hes like the cop that follows the law so closely that he would arrest himself if he accidentally parked too close to a hydrant. The rules can get you in trouble if they keep you from absorbing the rest of...reality. So sometimes you have to give him a pass when he asks for details that don't matter or when he misunderstands you.

The typical response (especially between ball breaking tool wielding alpha males at an internet message forum) to someone saying something like "Lets take a break from reality" is...

Ernie, i don't understand how anyone can read the original post then the response from Goldenz and think "hes attacking me" "he must be angry". Tomi might think you a snowflake if you were a bit younger or owned a selfie stick...

goldenz has written enough apparently angry posts directed at me that it's hard for the first feeling upon reading one of his posts to be ha, ha, that's funny.

Okay, no problem. It's hard to write in such a way as to convey annoyed instead of angry. I didn't see that you were at that level.

Now boys...
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

My guess is that he has watched enough News and TV shows to wonder how it could be real.
