Digestive systems not funny? - hmm, we'd have a hard time producing or appreciating humour without them, and their bugs ... pride and sloth and the rest of the seven deadly sins we cherish too, pretty much everything about us depends utterly on those bugs and our systems, which really are their systems, being designed to accommodate them ... this may account for differences between members of our species - either varying grades of system design, or a range of quality in bugs assigned to those systems ... perhaps brasilians just didn't have the wit or patience or understanding to be chosen by the good happy tolerant bugs, may also explain why apologists for the gangsters who rule Peking think they should have power of life and death over tibetans and taiwanese, or why zionists feel the right to take other peoples' land - you'd think they'd have a bug spray for these sorts of things by now

Speaking of funny, and of bugs, what's this about GE vs. Qualcomm? ... as if they mattered, pffft ... GE is a hugely bloated stock promotion - look how many shares out, yikes, it's far too big to understand much less profit from, for that thing to get bid up you'd need to drain from elsewhere the market cap of a Paraguay per week, on top of finding some way to fund the enormous salaries of its execs ... best to shoot it, cut out the tainted bits and eat the rest, like carranza says ... Qualcomm, well, this is only a tech stock lads, nothing to get excited about, somebody will come along and make a better widget cheaper any day now ... and it's only cell phone tech - look, the feature some of us most appreciate on our cell phones is the Off button, and every electrified gadget ever had one of those, even steam engines had them, though in the form of levers and presumably a bucket of water for the firebox ... so now the Off button is smaller and lighter and cheaper, well that's great as far as it goes, japanese influence working its wonders on everything ... guy who sold me this thing said the Off button could survive a four-foot drop onto concrete, that is impressive for sure, but so can my ball peen hammer, which could also shut the damn cellphone off for certain and quick ... that guy rambled on and on about this here MSG and CMDA and all that rot like you guys do, i just looked at him and thought, i bet this kid don't know how to run a D8 or fall timber or set chokers ... he did sort of imply that the thing could send and receive phone calls, even take messages [though only for an extra charge, ain't that always the way], and it actually does those things, which is fine and perhaps inevitable in those times you forget to hit the Off button ... oh and get this - he says it's got a little camera in it ... and there IS a little eye thing staring at me there, now that would worry some probably, but not me, nah, got good contented amiable heinz57 bugs, no worries mate, so for whoever is watching on the other end of this camera line, this is me flipping you the bird, and this is for the horse you rode in on ... anyway, qcom - they don't even pretend to have ounce number one drilled off in the ground yet, where's the future in this puppy, cash-rich yes but only in the fiat flavours, management will probably just blow it on Porsches and girls and brasilian 'investment opportunities' ... look around you, how many rich inventors of the Off lever for steam engines do you see? ... nuff said, huh

No, we need a Third Way, gentlemen ... let's cast about for something in which the 'values' of GE and QCOM are falling, that those of us who for whatever reason want GE or QCOM in the future, can use as a vehicle to ride out their downfalls and pick them up far cheaper [although you might want to wait quite a while before doing that, consider the philosophy behind the 'Free Beer Tomorrow' sign permanently fixed to the wall of your local] ... and fortunately, there is such an alternative -
