Use a backtick (the character below the tilde on your keyboard) before and after your ascii art to preserve spacing and force a fixed-width format.

“is it also Glatt Kosher?“

Of course! The chalif used to shecht the copepods is carefully checked for nicks, and their little lungs are then inspected for scabs and inflated underwater.

(yes bio majors, we know they don’t really have lungs)

Happy anniversary / happy birthday!

I’m sure a nice young fellow like “popa_bar_abba” won’t mind sharing a few slices with you ?

popa_bar_abba-

Thank you, I copied it myself ?

Kemach yoshon.

Cholov Yisroel cheese.

Special decoder ring enclosed.

Mr. 80, self effacing,

doesn’t like to boast

The CR’s site he has been gracing,

so I propose a toast:

“Thank you for your watchful eye,

which keeps us out of trouble”

now take your bow, please don’t be shy

(and approve this on the double)

for anyone who may want to get me off the hook… er, I mean take a crack at solving “Dr. Pepper”s earlier riddle, it’s reported below

Let’s say you have a table with equal distant parallel lines running the length of the table, as follows (viewed from above):

???????????????????????

???????????????????????

???????????????????????

???????????????????????

???????????????????????

???????????????????????

You randomly drop a pencil onto the table.

What are the chances of the pencil hitting a line?

Extra Credit- If the length of the pencil is shorter than the distance between two consecutive lines- what famous constant will you estimate?

(No asking “squeak”. you may ask “I can only try”, as he is typically clueless. [no, that’s not exactly how it was posted originally ?])

1) A piano with a nosebleed.

2) Pravda (this is an oldie. if you’re under 30, Google it. trust me ?)

3) President Obama’s health care plan.

4) Tomato rice soup. With a fly in it.

5) An African-American astronaut. In his spacesuit. On Mars.

6) A Bloody Mary, made with the aforementioned whiskey brand.

7) Three painters. A Caucasian named “Black” who’s painting a firetruck. His partner, an African-American names “White”. And, the new hire, a native American, who came to work dressed as a crossword puzzle.

Dr. Pepper-

I’m afraid I’m totally stumped.

I tried to Google various things to help, including the constant you referenced, but no luck.

The factors I can think of are width of the table, width of the lines, width and length of the pencil, spacing between the lines, and the probability of the angle between the pencil and the lines.

Why don’t you repost it here? Maybe some of the sharp new folks can solve it.

blinky-

If you’re in the Eastern time zone, it’s too late for Shachris and too early for Mincha.

Does anyone know what one is supposed to do if they remember they forgot Ya’ale V’yovo after the zman tefilah?

Is it the same as missing Shachris, where one says two Shemona Esreis?

Is it any different for a man or a woman?

am yisrael chai-

I like halacha riddles because they teach worthwhile info and count as talmud Torah.

I have no clue, but here are a couple of guesses:

1) Before Simchas Torah Mussaf, after someone has had a “few too many”, and needs to sober up a bit for davening.

2) One who has forgotten Havdala on Motzei Shabbos, and needs to make it later in the week without aish and besomim? (don’t know this halocha well)

If, as I expect, the above two answers are incorrect, can you answer the following:

1) Is it davka coffee? any drink? any food?

2) Is it davka Shemona Esrei or a full tefilah?

Busy As A Bee-

Been there, done that.

Sometimes, it’s darkest right before dawn – I’d been getting discouraged at the lull in shidduch suggestions, when two arrived almost simultaneously. One of them was “Mrs. Try”.

IY”H may you too find your bashert, bekarov.

Oneg Shabbos, especially if it involves potato kugel ?

Ok, seriously – helping others learn skills that can make it easier to find work.

Y.W. Editor-

It’s easy for those of us who don’t know the time, effort, and expense that you put into maintaining this site to request that you take down this thread as “bombmaniac” has requested.

Nonetheless, he put his heart into writing what he did, and it would likely do significant good if it could reach a wider audience.

As a possible compromise, would it be possible to take this thread down for now and then restore it after it appears in print media?

BSD-

The “split ductless” units you describe are in many yeshivas and shuls.

Why don’t you see one there and decide if you like it?

The advice “emlf” gave is spot-on.

You need to know what your requirements are; room size, sun exposure, under a roof, flat roof, etc. – otherwise it’s like buying clothes without knowing the person’s size or even if it’s for a man or a woman.

YW Moderator-42-

Thank you.

haifagirl-

I like your (first) answer best. IY”H

Have you done something to give you parents or grandparents nachas?

Have you been kind to your siblings / spouse / niece / nephew?

Did you offer your seat to someone during your commute?

Give tzedaka?

Daven for someone else?

Offer praise and/or give encouragement to someone?

Etc, etc.

We all have our ups and downs (yes, of course including yours truly).

Sometimes a kind word can lift a bad mood.

Sometimes it just takes a little time until it passes.

But, it passes.

miritchka-

Thank you.

“…just curious, is there anything that you don’t know??! “

Ummmm, how about “the answer to that question”?

?

Ok, ok, – just as a starting point you can find literally dozens of factual errors, spelling mistakes, poor grammar and simple vocabulary mistakes throughout my posts.

Please see the last paragraph of the following post for a partial “mea culpa”:

am yisrael chai-

“I’ve always been taught that ???? ??? ends at 6000 max…do you know differently?“

I learned that Moshiach will come by (our calendar) year 6000.

After he comes, I believe there are differences of opinion as to what the world will be like.

I didn’t factor that in my earlier reply.

When I was a kid, I would show a 1961 Lincoln penny upside down and say “look – they put the date upside down by mistake”.

Several people agreed, at least for a few seconds.

coffee addict-

Valid point ?

Spider, spider not too bright

Climbed onto my shelf last night

Encountered there an Artscroll sefer

Poor small deceased octopod,

Now interred under fresh green sod

While fleas and flies sip their Merlot

Planning bite-fests, with eyes aglow

(where’s sammygol? he’s great at this type of thing.)

“TUff sTUff“

?

Actually, the “Tuesday” ones that you got were a lot tougher.

“Is that it?“

‘fraid not.

==========================

OK, more hints.

If these don’t help, I’ll b”n post the solution tomorrow.

The next group of words also meet the criterion of the three “in” words above:

Also

Rabies

Serial

Regalia

Big mule (yes, this appears to be two words)

Like a Schoolmaster in The Classroom, your wisdom will become clear to all when you discover the common property for the above words.

Incorrecta, lo siento.

am yisrael chai-

Google your PC’s make, model and “num lock”.

E.g. dell + abc123 + “num lock”

Odd One out

Which word doesn’t belong? Why?

Pains

Rain

Enemy

Clergy
