"A man tries to commit suicide by crucifying himself on the cross." - He should've phoned an optomologist.

You're suffering from some high-order aberations yourself... - Dalton 11:42:53 03/17/04 (10)
... but it's not something an "optomologist" will be able to help you with.
Anyway, I wonder how this genius planned to nail that other hand...

  Maybe THAT'S why he originally called 911 for assistance. ;^)

    The lack of two "r's" is more specifically a spelling error.
    And the term "optomologist" doesn't exist--truly an abeRRation!
    How about ophthamologist--it helps to know the first part derives from the Greek ophthalmos "eye."

      You are correct that Dalton made a spelling error, but I was just teasing him and I think he was aware of that; BTW, see URL below.
      Optomologists perform eye surgery. (Open in New Window)

        Audiophilander,
        I too am just teasing, but I'm not overwhelmed that optomologist does exist, even if it is found at a URL. I recognize that the multi-volume Oxford English dictionary lists unimaginable words . . .
        The eye doctors who do surgery that I am aware of refer to themselves as ophthamologists and, from the perspective of etymology, this is directly derived from Greek.
        Optometrist, and in this case, I guess optomologist, have been made to look more like "English" words by getting rid of the "clumsy" consonantal cluster "phth"--which originally consisted of only two letters in Greek--phi and theta.
        At any rate, I enjoy your posts & note that you no longer post much (any?) on the audio forums. They are kind of dead right now . . .
        regards, townsend
        
        Sorry, with all the heated rhetoric of late I missed your jest; BTW, I do occasionally post on Hi-Rez Highway & Outside. - Audiophilander 08:51:04 03/18/04 (0)

        My audio system is pretty much where I want it right now, so the desire to discuss audio doesn't dominant my time as much as it used to, and since I love movies old & new this "seems" like the place to be for film aficionados. However, I am a little concerned about the current level of controversy fueled by a few of the Euro-centric contributers here over popular films. The insulting of folk's tastes in film are pretty rampant right now. Dmitry is apparently leaving this forum over it; others may have already left and one can only wonder who will follow.
        Anyway, I'm glad that you enjoy my posts; at least you know where to find them now! :o)
        Take care,
        AuPh

    You're going for the kinder, gentler version of grammatical crucifixion? I'll have to keep my eyes closed then. Not looking forward to the CASIK procedure...

        Burning bushes - that's a topic from another religious-themed movie. At least that one isn't anti-semantic though...

        Don't mean to cross the others but I think you nailed it.
