Question
If moving your hands is called gesticulating, why aren't our hands called gesticles?

Answers

Question
How many Conservapedians does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Answers
No, I don't know the answer, but certainly it won't be a CFL (compact fluorescent lightbulb), which will kill all of us with its mercury content. I remember an 'interesting' article or discussion about that, with Andy's contribution, a long time ago, but can't find it right now: CFL is about sports.

Huh, I thought that Conservapedians were only good at screwing things up, not in. --88.191.57.15 07:33, 16 January 2008 (EST)

Surely they would have faith that God would screw it in for them - Genghis And God said "Let there be lightbulbs" 08:04, 16 January 2008 (EST)

In conservapedia the light bulb screws you.--Bobbing up 12:46, 16 January 2008 (EST)

Obviously more than they have on hand to do it - since they seem to be living in the dark... <font color="#DD00DD" face="comic sans ms">human  14:29, 16 January 2008 (EST)

 * Do you mean the Hokey Pokey? -- 12:49, 16 January 2008 (EST)
 * This rather good Wikipedia article will explain why, although you would mean the Hokey Pokey, I would mean the Hokey Cokey - Tomato, tomato etc. Silver Sloth 14:38, 16 January 2008 (EST)

 * Why, you're so elegant yourself, Silver Sloth, that if you were anymore elegant, you'd be named Gold Sloth! Hahahahahaha!  ...Oh, that wasn't funny et al.  -- 17:37, 16 January 2008 (EST)

If God really did exist, how many times would he have smote Andrew Schlafly by now?

Answers 080117
Phli times. <font color=Blue>Genghis Calculating 18:43, 17 January 2008 (EST)
 * God can smite people .97 times? I call foul, Genghis.  It has to be at least once.  -- 19:03, 17 January 2008 (EST)
 * Doesn't the existence of Andrew Schlafly almost disprove the existence of any gods? Unless he was placed here, along with the dinosaur bones, to test our faith.  I agree though, that the idea that someone can be smited  smoted smitten .97 times is as absurd as the idea of a doughnut without holes in it.  --<font color="#000080" face = "matura mt script capitals">BillOhannity <font color="#ff3300" face = "Matura MT script capitals">godvelocity. 20:35, 17 January 2008 (EST)
 * Of course Schlafly was sent here to test our faith. He's like L. Ron Hubbard with a law degree.  -- 20:41, 17 January 2008 (EST)

Shouldn't it be smoten or smitten? (if anyone can, then god can smite fractionally - omnipotence rules) Susan  Purrrrrrr  14:26, 18 January 2008 (EST)
