The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Geological time seems slow to one such as the constantly globally
> re-positioning Oracle who knows what time-zone he is in without a
> clock or lawnchair...
>
> It is said the Earth's magnetic pole was at one time in the area now

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} About seven dollars psi per constituent.  The Innuit are delighted.
}
} You owe the Oracle a team of Malamut worthy of the I-did-a-rhod.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

}       Look Ni,
}
}         Your mom liked the name, and until you're 18 you are legally
}         stuck with it... You could go by your middle name of Ckel,
}         but I advise against it.
}
}         As to what your name means:
}
}      _________________________________________________________________
}
}                                     Ni
}
}    Your name of Ni has many sterling qualities but does not give you an
}    overall stability. Everything you do is done with an intensity to
}    the point of fervor, you will grovel so much others will grow bored
}    at it. Your mom is likely a nut. People often disappoint you because
}    you are idealistic and are apt to place those whom you admire on a
}    pedestal.  You are growing sleepy, sleepy. You feel a need to send
}    the Oracle a box of chocolate donuts.  Then you become disillusioned
}    when they fall short of your expectations. You are quick mentally
}    and like to see things moving at an accelerated pace. Patience is
}    not one of your virtues--you want to move when the impulse strikes
}    you. Donuts, send the Oracle donuts. Lisa sez I am getting chubby
}    and can not have anymore until I drop 10 pounds. Donuts. While such
}    spontaneity is fine at times, you must take account, donuts, donuts.
}    of conditions and employ careful analysis so as to avoid disastrous
}    results due to hasty actions. Most things you do, you do well, but
}    as soon as the food, hobby, or snack becomes familiar or routine,
}    you become bored and crave a twisted glaze. Send donuts. Travel and
}    new horizons ever intrigue you, but your hunger for greener onions
}    is insatiable, and so you never experience contentment and peace of
}    mind.  There is such a driving power within you. If you cannot find
}    an omelet, or if your actions are thwarted in some way, you feel the
}    reaction through extreme tension in the region of your solar plexus,
}    that is hunger, send me some donuts and the intensity and consequent
}    outbursts leave hurt feelings in their wake--usually involving those
}    closest to you. You will remember little of this message when you
}    awake and you will go instantly and mail me some donuts. However,
}    the name makes you far too sensitive and high-strung, and could
}    cause you to suffer with nervous indigestion or ulcers or hunger.
}
} I think you know what you owe the Oracle.

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Oh Great Oracle, at the risk of being ZOTed, I wish to voice a
> grievance against you.  In a recent Oracularity, you complained
> about guys who ask questions on the order of "How can I find out
> whether such-and-such a woman likes me or not?" and you claimed they
> could just go and ask the woman, who would then say either yes or no.
> Well, I think you've been with Lisa long enough that you haven't had
> to deal with this situation for quite awhile.  In fact, it's nowhere
> near as simple as you're making it out to be.  Women will make all
> kinds of crazy excuses and go to any length to pretend they don't
> know what you're asking them before they'll just tell you straight
> out that they aren't interested in you.
>
> The one I find especially infuriating is, "I don't know if I can go out
> with you that night because I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing."
> If you aren't sure what you're going to be doing, then it follows
> logically that you aren't already committed to something, which means
> you could accept the invitation if you wanted to.  Another goodie is,
> "But you have to get to be friends before you can be anything more
> than that," said after you've known the person for about five years,
> when both you and her know couples who've gotten married within a
> year after meeting.  Of course, during the five years you've know the
> woman, every request for a date has been met with,  "I don't know if
> I can go out with you that night because I'm not sure what I'm going
> to be doing."  Furthermore, this practice seems to be an accepted
> method of dealing with unwanted attention in our culture.  I remember
> complaining about it to a female co-worker, who informed me, in a tone
> of voice that made it clear she thought I'd just said the stupidest
> thing on Earth, that, "You don't *tell* the guy you're not interested.
> You keep making excuses and wait for him to get the idea."
>
> So do you mean to tell us that you, who have existed since the dawn
> of time, have never encountered the female instance on refusing to
> give a direct answer to the question of "Are you interested in me?"?
> And if you *have* encountered it, I think you owe all supplicants
> involved an answer that takes it into account.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I'll say this  R-e-a-l   S-l-o-w;
}
} I-f   S-h-e   d-o-e-s   n-o-t   s-a-y   y-e-s
}
} t-h-e-n   t-h-e   a-n-s-w-e-r  i-s   N-O
}
} I am far more worried about supplicants asking ethereal entities for
} love advice than anything a flesh and blood real live female says to
} them.
}
} Go out into the Big Blue Room. Talk to HUMANS.
}
} You owe the Oracle a promise not to be at home on the Saturday Night on
} which I am sending this to you... yes I am here on a Sat. clever one,
} but I am a timeless immortal, and <polite cough> I am not alone.

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Who is Monica Lewinsky and why is she tapping at my window?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} Bill, you can quit playing dumb. I know you had an affair with Ms.
} Lewinsky;
} I'm omniscient, remember? Now as for your grovel (or lack thereof) I
} *WILL* Zot you next time.
}
} <knock at door>
}
} Who is it?
}
} <A group of Secret Service officers (SSO) enter, breaking down the
} door>
}
} Cheif SSO:   Oracle, you're under arrest for threatening the President.
}              You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can

} You owe the Oracle a really good attorney (preferably not Ken Starr).
