If Women ruled the world... (in Contests)


Mem May 3 2006 5:19 AM EDT

'"You forget, dear Charlie, that the labourer is worthy of his hire", she said, brightly. It's queer how out of touch with truth women are. They live in a world of their own, and there had never been anything like it, and never can be. It is too beautiful altogether, and if they were to set it up it would go to pieces before the first sunset. Some confounded fact we men have been living contentedly with ever since the day of creation would start up and knock the whole thing over.'

Heart Of Darkness - Conrad.

So what's the contest?

As for men:

'Hanged himself! Why, in God's name?' I cried.

He kept on looking out watchfully. 'Who knows? The sun too much for him, or the country perhaps.'

I still don't have a clue but where there's Heart of Darkness and the name Charlie there's also a classic film and the line:

'Charlie Don't Surf!'

And women do rule the world. They're just waiting for us to notice....

No. We're quite happy that you haven't. ;)

"He was a Swede, too."

Hey! Thanks! I've got a copy right here in my desk at work. Don't know if that's a good thing or not....

Mem May 3 2006 5:33 AM EDT

You should know that that's a good thing if it's ever left your desktop...

QBJohnnywas May 3 2006 5:37 AM EDT

It's a good thing. Although I did only get into it because of Apocalypse Now...

No Men rule the world.
But the women rule the men.

AdminShade May 3 2006 2:51 PM EDT

It's the mice who rule the planet really though ;)

Mem May 3 2006 2:56 PM EDT

There are no wrong reasons to read a book... unless you're going to read Mein Kampf with the intentions of becoming the next Hitler...

I read 'Heart of Darkness' twice and both times it seemed like the longest short novel I ever read...

Dudley Dotson May 3 2006 6:29 PM EDT

If women ruled the world...we'd be dead. :P jk

If women ruled the world... Mt Rushmore would be of Anthony, Stanton, Mott, and Truth.

Flamey May 3 2006 7:14 PM EDT

there would be no world.....

Hakai [Aye Phelta Thi] May 3 2006 8:33 PM EDT

lol, and I came here for a contest ^_^ Ah well, I don't really care if we rule the world or the men, just as long as I can keep playing my video games and watching my CSI/Law&Order marathons, lol (Ok, yeah....Law&Order is not in the spell check...does anyone else find that odd? lol)

{CB1}Lukeyman May 3 2006 8:48 PM EDT

Can't we all just get along?

Mem May 3 2006 10:20 PM EDT

It was a contest... and I'm sure if you put spaces between Law and & and & and Order then you wouldn't have problems with the spellchecker. It seems that Charlie Marlow was correct...

Mandy [Journey] May 3 2006 10:45 PM EDT

I never read the book or whatever you are talking about ;p BUT I felt that this was a good place to insert a cute quote :)

"Do you wish to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows what is going one" :)

Mem May 3 2006 11:25 PM EDT

Were I the assuming type, I'd say you meant 'on?'. I'm not though. Therefore you're merely another nonsensical female... :P
