New Princess Diana coin is AN OUTRAGE!!!
Beable van Polasm
I saw on TV that England is going to release a new
coin with a picture of Princess Diana on it. While
I applaud their idea to remember the Queen of Hearts
and to help people in the grieving process, I CAN'T
BELIEVE THE THOUGHTLESS AND EXPLOITATIVE WAY THEY
ARE DOING IT!!!1!
The coin will have a picture of the Beautiful
Princess on it, and it will say "Princess Diana"
and "Five Pounds". Now I understand how society
is TOTALLY OBSESSED with wymmyn's WEIGHT, but
DO THEY HAVE TO PUT PRINCESS DIANA'S WEIGHT ON
THE COIN NOW THAT SHE IS A SKELETON? I MEAN WE
ALL *KNOW* THAT A SKELETON WEIGHS FIVE POUNDS!
WHY DO THEY PUT IT ON THE COIN??? It's not
like on the OTHER coins they put "Queen Elizabeth
the Second, One Hundred and Fifty Pounds" do they?
Why can't they remember her for her services to
the Feminist Movement? The way she showed that
wymmyn can be FREE and EMPOWERED was a REAL
motivation for me to be MORE active in the
Feminist Movement.
I just wish they could have been more SENSITIVE
to the THOUGHTS and FEELINGS of Princess Diana
lovers and feminists all over the world.

Lets get some facts straight here:
The Princess Diana five pound coin is indeed a tribute to Princess
Diana.
The coin features Diana's face and the words "five pounds"
The monetary value of the coin IS a direct reference to Diana's ideal
weight.
The weight she strove so hard for, while the world watched, and
breathlessly
applauded every herculean effort.
Typically however, in their desperate need to find something to be
offended by
the feminists have left out several important facts which make this coin
much more
than a mere hollow tribute to a great woman:
The coin is gold, symbolic of her attraction to Dodi Al Fayed.
The coin is perfectly round, symbolic of Diana's I.Q and moral beliefs.
The coin flucuates daily in value between 5 pounds and 350 pounds,
symbolising in an interactive fashion, the one great battle Diana
fought,
and sadly, ultimately, lost.
The fluctuating cash value of the coin will be available, every day on
the stock
market, the WWW and the daily print media, to continually remind us of a
great
woman and her very public struggle.
As an added bonus, 10% of issued coins will vomit in your pocket when
the
coinage loses value.
Get your facts right madam!

I agree with you about Princess Diana being a Great Womyn,
in fact I would like to publicly state that I am CERTAIN
that Princess Diana is the GREATEST WOMYN THAT EVER LIVED,
and if she was not CRUELLY ASSASSINATED by the forces of
evil, she would still be with us today, in person instead
of just in our hearts and minds like she is now. BUT I
DISAGREE VEHEMENTLY WITH YOUR SEXIST MISREPRESENTATIONS
OF FEMINISM!

I can't believe your INSENSITIVITY in posting INSENSITIVE
comments like that! Just because she was NATURALLY SLIM
is NO REASON for you to cast aspersions against Her
Highness! You probably laugh at fat wymmyn too don't
you? PIG!

This is YET ANOTHER libellous attack by you on the noble
feminist movement. You probably live in the Stone Age and
act like it too. AND SMELL LIKE IT TOO I BET!

Now that UNJUSTIFIED ATTACK on Princess Diana cannot go
unanswered! SHE WAS IN LOVE WITH DODI AND THE FACT THAT
HIS FAMILY WERE BILLIONAIRES HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
But of course YOUR TYPE takes any opportunity to CHEAPEN
the noblest acts to your level of CHEAPOSITY!
> The coin is perfectly round, symbolic of Diana's I.Q and moral
beliefs.
I hope you are not saying what I think you are saying.
Princess Diana was a Princess among wymmyn! She was
highly intelligent! Don't forget she came from an
educational background before she was a princess!
And as for moral beliefs, HOW COULD YOU SAY SUCH A
THING! Her stand against evil land mines has resulted
in the banning of land mines in EVERY CIVILISED NATION
in the WORLD! What have YOU ever done huh?

This TASTELESS REMARK so DENIGRATES the memory of Princess
Diana that is PROVES that you are a completely unfeeling
BEAST who should be SHOT! Firstly, you seem to be implying
that Princess Diana had some sort of WEIGHT PROBLEM, (not
that there is anything wrong with being fat (although you
probably think there is with your limited chauvinistic
world view)) when in fact she was naturally slim and
beautiful (not that beauty is anywhere near as important
as the inner beauty that you so obviously lack (and you
probably have a shortage in outer beauty too!)). Secondly
it COMPLETELY IGNORES Princess Diana's TIRELESS EFFORTS
to help poor and starving people and to get rid of land
mines.

This offensive remark is no doubt a slur against bulimia

The worst part is that poor beable is going through
POLASM. In a few years, bereft of a salary man husband,
she will be likely to devote all of her energy to a job
or politics. Very dangerous, especially because it will
probably be HER that is running things. Then again, Japan
is a breeding ground for communists, so who really cares?

Meanwhile we are suppised to forget that Diana was also an adulteress, make
life threatening phone calls to Cammila Parker-Bowles, kept obsessively
phoning the HOME of Oliver Hoare whilst his wife was there, said PUBLICLY on
TV that she didn't think Prince Charles should be King (some "Princess"!!),
CONSPIRED with journalists to smear Prince Charles - was often

is that by her standards I dread to think what a "weak woman" would be

What planet are you actually ON here?

If you took the slightest notice of you surroundings you would very
quickly understand that "things" are actually self running!
I have spent years trying to both breed and train Things and have since
given up in disgust!
The most I could ever manage was to get them to comb their hair!
My plans for a "Thing Circus" ... "Cousin IT's Tumbling Three Ring
Circus" fell completely apart due entirely to the sheer bloody
mindedness of the entire species.
I suggest that you gain some experience of Thing training before you
start shooting your mouth off about matters you so lambently fail to
have any understanding of!

Madam,
your auditory hallucinations are no one's business but your own. In fact, I
would go so far as to say that they were not even your business but indeed
your calling. Indeed, I would go rather further than that and say that I
would not be surprised at anything your voices told you except perhaps that
"poopyhead" was not a respectable term of address for an arch deacon in the
Church of Unleaded Christ (tm)
Not that I am such a person, you understand, merely that your voices sound
to me, when I hear them (albeit faintly,) not to put too fine a point on it,
to be full of shit.

I was actually, behind these publicity stunts.
In my guise as head of palace publicity (K.ontroller G.eneral B.uckingham)
my department and I continually tried to get her Royal Lardarsedness to
stand on land mines. Unfortunately, she was so weak on her feet for all the
*strain* that she could only stand against them.
This, fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your viewpoint, continually
failed to work.
I of course, vehemently deny this.

HOW can you say that COINS are better than MARGARINE?? Have

Oh I do love the internet.
As a woman (I assume Argon is a woman and not just
a man having a gas), how can you be certain that
you were trying to train the correct "Things". As
all men know, "Things" vary widely in species (as
well as colour and texture) and some are just
impossible to train correctly. Wimin can also
suffer from this affliction.
Blimey, get a woman to do a mans job, and they
make a mess of it! They cant even train a "Thing"
properly now!

Dr. Professor Beable van Polasm expressed outrage at the
new coin which he believed alleged that the late Princess
Diana weighed only five pounds:
:> What do you mean "five pounds has nothing to do with weight"?
:> OF COURSE FIVE POUNDS IS WEIGHT!!! WHAT PLANET ARE YOU LIVING
:> ON? And in case you didn't know, DOLLARS are used for monetary
:> denomination!! NOT POUNDS! How could you use POUNDS for MONEY?
:> It WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!! POUNDS OF *WHAT*???
:>
:> DOLLARS --> MONEY
:> POUNDS --> WEIGHT
So Susan Cohen <ze...@smart.nett> cleared things up by explaining:
: Pounds, sterling. It's a British coin, & they have pounds instead of
: dollars.
Just so.
USAians like Ms. van Polasm are ignorant of British money, so
I'll give a breif explanation:
In a tradition dating back to the days before Thomas Edison invented
the American dollar, the British (who are the people on the peninsula
of England, where Princess Diana was from) use pounds of gold for
money. These are pressed into coins (or "shillings" as the Britishers
call them). The larger denomination coins (such as the five pounds
of gold coin which honors Princess Diana) are called "sterling" in
honor of Sir Bruce Sterling, inventor of the "Difference Engine",
an early type of steam-powered abacus used in 18th century
London to keep track of funds ("Canceler of the Exchecker" in
the term of the day) with the English Federal Bank (or "Fleet
Street").
Hope this clears everything up!

Very interesting summary of the British monetary system. Alas, also extremely
inaccurate.
So, sorry to be so pedantic, but...
Historically the terms "pound", and "sterling" originated in anglo-saxon
Britain during the 8th century, when the basic unit of money was a "steorling",
which was the equivalant to 1/240 of a pound of silver. It was so called
because the coin had a star (or "Steorra") stamped upon it. A further
confusion is that a "pound", in those days, was the equivalent of a modern 12
ounces, as it was based on the Roman system of weights and measures, or the
"pondo".
The pound was convertable to Silver until 1717, when Gold was adopted as the
preferable precious metal. The term "Sterling Silver" , still exists to this
day, to denote silver that is at least 92.5% pure.
The term "Dollar", however, comes from the old german word "Daler" ( or
"Taler"), an abbreviation of the word "joachimsthaler", which was a coin which
bore the imprint of Saint Joachim, and dates from 1519.
I am sure you are a lot happier now, having gained this useful knowledge!

I thought Dollar derived from Thaller, which was Balkan and much earlier
than 1519.

Mr Tony,
Being a failure at being a tele-evangelist, an astronaut, and a purveyor
of cherry flavoured
"vitamin pills" to the Indian sub continent does not give you the right
to unfairly criticize the work of the Church of the Unleaded Christ.
I saw you last (bomb) mini series, and was unfortunately called upon to
review that last slavering mess of Roman Catholicism and sexual
incontinence you had the timerity to call a "book." Furthermore, NONE of
your so called Subliminal Self Help Audio Tapes feature ANY subliminal
messages AT ALL.
Dragging the training of things to the altar of your fixation on the
"Satanism of Feminism" (Paris Match Sept 1996) is an insult to the
intelligence of anyone with more grasp of reality than a rectal polyp.
You sir, are a cad, a layabout and a BOTTLE WASHER!
Yours
