POTM lite for February, 2006

This is for nominating posts that tickle your funny bone.Note that well used humor can be a basis for regular POTM nominations in February 2006, Posts of the Month. And if you nominate there, then do not also nominate here. This thread is for those posts you would like to mention, but which you don't think merit a regular POTM nomination.Don't nominate a post as humorous if the author would likely treat such a nomination as an insult.Provide author, forum, thread, message number. Provide also a link to the nominated article, and perhaps a brief comment on why you nominated.There was a suggestion that this thread be named "Laugh of the month". However, some of the nominations have been for subtle humor that brings smiles, not laughs.

Hey, that's very nice, thank you. I was wondering whether anyone would notice. I could have explained the thing without this effect, which would have taken me less time, but I like these visual jokes too, so ...In Dutch we call this effect the "Droste effect", after the cocoa brand Droste, which has a picture of a nurse on a box of cocoa. The nurse carries a tray with a box of cocoa with a picture of a nurse who carries a tray with a box of cocoa...

I just read this in the Is it boring being God thread. I thought it was pretty funny and well done; it certainly captures the style well. Did Phat write it himself?

Nazism I've never had the brains to tackle it in that manner. I thought this was a really smart answer showing original thought, hence it's nomination.Ofcourse, technically we all know the fallacy is a fallacy, but I always thought the reference to Christians depended upon the vague nature of our belief system. In essence, we are taken advantage of, because of unclear semantics. (yet I agree with Golden ratio, that the fallacy is used as a get-out amongst Christians)Unique approach Riverrat.
