A joke I overheard Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

One Caretaker says to another Caretaker, "Joke: directed to you. Usurpers: most annoying trait?"

The other responds, "Answer: inconceivable."

The first exclaims, "Existance: they possess! Har! Har! Har!"

[Note: I may have lost something in the translation....?]

A little worm told me- or was that 'telepathically instilled the vision in my mind before ingesting my grey matter'?

What do you mean my joke wasn't original? I don't see any others exactly like it!

If someone ever compiles a bunch of SMAC jokes and publishes it as "Lal's Book of Recycling Tank Humor", I'll be the first in line.

From a joke thread to a spam thread ... or was there a difference in the first place ...

Yeah, we definitely have too much time to spend on these forums, but hey it's a friday. Loosen up, man

I really think we'd better get a bit more substance behind these posts, it'll be locked before we know it ... and we just started the first book of rec tank jokes...and no, it will not become a bathroom humor collection.. how could you even suggest such an awful, awful thing...

I don't have SMAC, but from these posts I take it the aliens have personalities, and peculiar syntactcal structures when speaking Galactic?

There is no pan galactic civilization or language in smax. It is a first contact for both species. The very nature of oral communication for the progenitors is so different from that of humans that any translation tends to be strained.

Put an end to popups!

On a completely unrelated subject: according to the dates on the official Firaxis website, Chairman Sheng-ji Yang is now two years old.

Anyone else for finding him wherever he is and stomping on him quick?

By the way, Zakharov is also five years old, and Morgan will be born in three years.

That's odd...I always figured Lal was older than Morgan...
