To be totally historically accurate, Pericles, please note that it was the Borg who said, 'Resistance is futile'.

Just felt I had to be clear and acknowlege that I agree with your point, Pericles.

As you may know for demonstrating such wisdom he was given the appelation the Great Cnut although his legitmate heir, who reigned after Harold, was only Hathacnut.

Jocelynne, I read the bio on your website but there wasn't any mention of you going to work for the coup-leaders in Fiji. Please write us a piece explaining how you justified taking that position when you seem to be so keen on freedom and democracy. That would be far more interesting than quibbling about poor English. thanks.

Just watching an amusing new romantic comedy called "Hysteria", about that condition, of the same name, women are known to be pray to since time immemorial, and would you believe the very phrase in question, "bored of", is espoused about half way through (and didn't it jar), and by pious Victorians no less; scandalous!
I recommend the film nonetheless. It's about that wonderful innovation, the vibrator, and the medicinal prestidigitation that immediately preceded it.

Indeed they did, WmTrevor.

Here it is, in all its native glory...

"We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."

A seminal moment in history, that. Faithfully maintained through many generations, it comes alive even today in places such as the Australian Taxation Office.

And how true this is...

>>As you may know for demonstrating such wisdom he was given the appelation the Great Cnut although his legitmate heir, who reigned after Harold, was only Hathacnut.<<

Mind you, it does need to be recorded that not all of his courtiers were impressed by his turn-back-the-tide experiment, one of them was heard to mutter under his breath, "silly Cnut".

Or so I am told.
