How do you create a poll?

[Trazalca]

Just wondering.

Well, sometimes when a mommy Polack and a daddy Polack like each other very much, they do a certain kind of dance. Through the miracle of life, a baby Pole grows in mommy's tummy and is brought into this world nine months later.

When you're a little older I'll give you more details. :D

With apologies to any Poles who were deeply insulted by my thoughtless remarks.






































But you have to admit, Polish people are kind of funny...

Damn, dude, that was a great joke! I think. Wait...can you tell that joke again, but type it more slowly so I can understand it.

Actually, whether he was Polish or German is a matter of great controversy. ;)

[Jakester]

controversy.
Do you pronounce that word like the Brits do?

[MPG]

Do you pronounce that word like the Brits do?Not only that word. I generally use a fake british accent because it makes me sound so smart.

All kidding aside, Copernicus was a true giant of astronomy and science generally. He not only had to bear the stigma of having to speak with a ridiculous Polish accent, but was confronted with the same stifling religious dogma and superstition as other intellectual revolutionaries throughout history: Perhaps there will be babblers who, although completely ignorant of mathematics, nevertheless take it upon themselves to pass judgement on mathematical questions and, badly distorting some passages of Scripture to their purpose, will dare find fault with my undertaking and censure it. I disregard them even to the extent as despising their criticism as unfounded.
My own parentage is a matter of some controversy (pronounced con-TRAH-versy). I have everything from Anglo-Saxon, German Swiss, Irish, Rumanian, possibly even Russian Jewish (maybe a little?) When people ask I usually say British-Canadian or just Canadian. That seems to cover everything.

Yeah, me too, but it all falls apart when I shout "GIT'R DUNN!" at the end of the conversation.
