Broccoli does it again!

[ACEFNQ]

Brilliant
Now here is a plan.

We'll get all the AOS classic represenatives together __with

The AOS4 reps__

together with

The MOS crowd

and add

The AROS rabble

From there we ask Broccoli to host and manage the summit or we eat Broccoli.

I thought it was Bill Clinton who didn't like broccoli. I bet that Monica Lewinski loves broccoli though.


On topic: does anyone know if broccoli has any scandoubling/flickerfixing capabilities?

No, it wasn't Wild Bill, it George the Elder....

And under the carrots is an old foot-powered sewing machine mechanism. You must have a generator attached to the flywheel belt! Impressive, the only human powered self-imaging Amiga 500 in North America!

Ah.. you noticed. Yeah, I had to go manual because I used the sewing machine motor to power my Volkswagen Bug.

Oh no.... power dying.... must... keep... pushing.... :-D

It's legal to smoke broccoli in Canada, but most people don't because it's too difficult to ignite.

That's because it's been changed by selective breeding for use in electronics. Few people these days remember its original applications. Long before the invention of the Amiga (which catalysed the Broccoli Breeding Campain - now known as the 'BBC') the vegetable was much more flammable. Broccoli smoking in Canada is a reminder of the almost global use of broccoli to provide heating. This bygone age preceeds the invention of coal and even peat by several thousand years. Shortly after man discovered fire, he needed something to do with it. Over hundreds of years trying different things, primitive man eventually discovered the lowly broccoli plant. At that time, its little florets were flammable due to the natural oils which evaporate from them. That's how wild boars knew how to locate it in the heavily wooded terrain of Central Europe and North America. They couldn't get enough of the heady vapours. It's also where the expression, 'Oh, you're such a broccoli boar' comes from. Anyway, broccoli burning became as essential as breathing and eventually it powered the Industrial Revolution. As the broccoli age continued, new varieties were developed and even edible types were invented. These were dark green in colour, as distict from the primitive white, which was lost to science until quite recently. The pale green intermediate genus retains some flammability and gained great popularity in Northern regions as a smoking fuel and telecommunication aid. Being too distant from the broccoli and tobacco growing areas of Virginia, the North American and Canadian indians had to smoke ground up boar dung in their peace pipes. There was never any fighting because the digested broccoli oils in the dung made everyone happy. All that changed when the French arrived and spread the word about the new pyrobroccolis. From then on, broccoli smoking was the norm and persists to this day in the French speaking areas of Canada. Its popularity stems from the addictive oils, which unlike niccotine, have no health risks other than the tendency to make the user very boring. So the next time you call someone a 'Broccoli boar'- sometimes misused as 'Broccoli bore' - think about the origins of the expression. You could even retell the history of broccoli because it's not boring at all.

hmmm....

Perhaps broccoli and A2000s have something in common: Lots of iron.

Church and broccoli are incompatible. Don't learn this lesson the hard way because you'll have to sit in your own pew.

@JaXanim

Yes, of course. You're right. Somehow I had forgotten about broccoli history. I don't know why. Like all Canadians, I took a broccoli history class in school when I was young. I still have my old text book "A History of Modern Broccoli".

Few people know that the expression "May a smile be your umbrella" is derived from the old expression, "May a broccoli be your umbrella". Back in the middle ages, broccoli was much bigger and people actually used them as umbrellas. Unfortunately, these large broccoli pieces were very heavy to carry around and many people got horribly injured in "broccoli accidents" when they got tired and dropped it. The mechanical umbrella was then invented and this usage thankfully died out.

It's strange to think that it was only in the computer age that broccoli's true usefulness was discovered.

I am sure you are aware that broccoli accidents are not the only problems associated with the green umbrella of old. Far from indeed.

Clinical research by the acclaimed Dr. Fardel is under way. You can read all about it here: Cyclical Non-uterine Dysmenorrhea

Let's not forget Brocolli's festive cousin at this time of year...
