Apparently "I'll never leave you again" (which is credited to Hoke) meant that Hoke would never leave again, as ever post since then has been posted by Hoke...

sorry... will close out of Moveable Type and re-enter as ace.

"Also, I think the Army has a prerequisite involving a minimum number of teeth."

So with any luck we'll never see the likes of Lyndie England in the services again? I'm all for women in uniform, but eeeeesh...

Bob seems a tad bit obsessed with the Hoke/Ace thing. It was funny when it [post credited to Hoke] happened in Ace's comeback post, but after that I just ignored it. Why is it such a big deal? Ace is back and posting, who cares what name it is under.

Who cares? I care. I took every "Hoke" post as a personal insult. Each one was like salt on a wound.

Luckily Ace has fixed it now. He should make the real Hoke change his password and make him swear never to reveal it to Ace. This must never happen again. If we've learned nothing else from the past few days, we must at least learn that: Never again.

Seriously, Bob, get over yourself.

I could tell this was a joke from a mile away, from the first post. You've never heard of a good April Fool's joke?

Bottom line, Ace didn't do it on purpose and you shouldn't even be wailing about this.

Ace, you missed this

In the link about the exploder bot. All they have to do is combine the laser from the hummer, with this guy, and you've got Terminator HKs.

. . . and, to complete the self-licking ice cream cone, that "Nazi AT-AT" post was due to *MY* link that I sent into Ace. Which, BTW, has the honor of being the first hat tip I ever got here at Ace of Spades HQ.

Which means that Jim G. at NRO linked me by extension, only without all those messy Sitemeter hits I hate.

Hindu's do it too!

BHUBANESWAR: A 80-year-old man in Orissa has claimed he has been married 90 times and is still flooded with proposals from more women.

Udayanath Dakhina Ray, who lives in Orali village in Keonjhar district, says he first married Sibapriya Dakhina Ray, a teacher from the neighbouring district of Dhenkanal, when he was a young man.

Udaya wanted to stay with his wife at his home village after the marriage but his wife refused. She said she wanted Udaya to stay with her in Dhnekanal where she was working but he refused.

Within 15 days of the marriage, Sibapriya deserted Udaya.

This made Udaya angry and he made a vow to marry at least 100 women to prove that he had no shortage of wives. Since then, he has married 90 women, said Udaya, who was born on April 29, 1924.

"I married because polygamy was allowed in our caste and nobody had any objections," he was quoted as saying by a local newspaper.

"At present I have eight marriage proposals -- three from the US, three from Japan and two from Germany. The unmarried ladies want to marry me to help me to complete 100 marriages but I am not interested," he said.

Udaya works as an ayurvedic healer and also as a mechanic. With a stick in his hand, he rides to neighbouring villages on a bicycle. He treats patients with ayurvedic medicines made of roots and leaves.

His last wife was Kuni Dakhina Ray, a resident of Nayagarh district. He has two sons and one daughter from her. He is now staying with Kuni and the children, the paper reported.

Although Uday did not remember the whereabouts of his other wives, residents of Orali claimed one of his wives lives in the same village. Her name is Basanitilata Dakhina Ray and she has two sons and two daughters. Besides, another of Udaya's wives lives in Apanda village in Bhadrak district.

However, Udaya admitted that having more then one wife had brought financial, social and mental problems for him.

Living in a simple house made of straw, Udaya likes reading and has hundreds of books on subjects ranging from law, marriage and ancient medicinal systems.

Kind of like ACE did the past few days?

I'm surprised that no-one mentioned the Robart III experimental security robot. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see videos of its mighty six-barrel, arm-mounted Gatling gun (which "imparts a rather sobering psychological message during system initialization") despatching soft drink cans and balloons with merciless efficiency:

I forgot to mention, I found Robart III through a link in the flying saucer UAV article.

Hey I got all that alien nonsense beat all to hell.

Would you believe (Sorry Mr. Smart) a new NSA department to study reverse engineering of extraterrestrial technologies.

Honest, I wouldn't lie - much.
