IF + THEN Remember When

When

could 
Logic

devoid

with
  exactly 
one 
intention:
 
Increasing
genuine intelligence

by that
not happening

PhotoVerio #1035: A Lot Of Competition

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

The rose 
has
a lot of
competition
for
the eye's 
attention
© Oliverio ©
________________________________________________________________________________________________
 

Laughing OR Crying OR Screaming OR ...

______________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 

Humans,
in their 
 never-ending quest
to label or categorize
would use
one of the descriptions
in the title
to give
more meaning
to this rose
 
BUT
—to the rose itself—
descriptions
mean
absolutely nothing
!!!
 
This 
is a sure sign
that roses
are from 
a species
highly superior
to that of
humans 
 ❗❗❗

I Don't Mean To Brag ... But That's Not True

This puzzle is 
the New York Times
Spelling Bee
and
—very proudly—
I achieved
83 percent 
GENIUS status
  on this day
without 
 rounding up
because
856/1031
equals
.8302 
 
It happened
sometime last week
 
Unfortunately,
the puzzle
is masterminded
by someone with a
4th-grade
Flunk & Wagnalls
dictionary:
 
He determines
which words
are acceptable
and 
which are not
 
"Hiphop"
is unacceptable
but
"Ratatat"
is
 
Go figure 
 
I provide 
no hyperlink
to the puzzle
because
I do not want
the creator
of this puzzle
to blacklist me
from playing 
the game

Perfectly Vertical Satanic Poem

If
Satan
had 
cancer
that
would

The 
pain
would

world's
surplus

hate
