One of my MySpace friends has a link to a site where you can have a conversation with Yoda. I only had a few minutes before leaving to visit a friend who is ill so I decided to see if Yoda had any good advice for me. I assumed that a conversation with Yoda would be difficult so I was determined to keep my questions straight and to the point. I didn’t think I would get as frustrated as I did… but see for yourself:
RS: How can I help my sick friend?
Y: Mmm. Friends you have there.
RS: How can I help?
Y: Pass on what you have learned.
RS: What if I haven’t learned anything?
Y: I am wondering, why are you here?
RS: What is the meaning of life?
Y: Remember your failure at the cave!
RS: How can I help my sick friend?
Y: Pass on what you have learned.
RS: Why did you change your answer?
Y: I am wondering, why are you here?
RS: Why do you repeat yourself?
Y: Luminous beings are we... not this crude matter.
RS: Now you're not making any sense.
Y: Mmm. Friends you have there.
RS: Are we going in circles?
Y: Luminous beings are we... not this crude matter.
RS: Do you have anything new to say?
Y: Decide you must how to serve them best. If you leave now, help them you could. But you would destroy all for which they have fought and suffered.
RS: Are you the wisest of the wise?
Y: Help you I can. Yes, mmmm.
RS: Any last words before I leave?
Y: That is the way of things...the way of the Force.
RS: Goodbye.
Y: That is why you fail.
RS: Huh?
Y: No more training do you require. Already know you that which you need.
RS: Got it. Bye.
Y: But beware of the dark side. Anger...fear...agression. The dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight.
RS: Why do you wait to say things until I am about to leave?
Y: Then, only then, a Jedi will you be. And confront him you will.
RS: Now I feel like you're just giving me predetermined answers!
Y: Your weapons...you will not need them.
RS: You are not paying attention to a word I'm saying, are you?
Y: Oh, you will be. You will be.
RS: OK. I've had enough. This is ridiculous. I'm outta here!
Y: If you end your training now, if you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did, you will become an agent of evil.
RS: So be it.

So that's it folks - I'm joining the forces of evil. I guess that's what happens when you try to talk philosophy with a ficticious pint sized green monster who talks in backwards nonsensical cliches. See for yourself right here. but don't say I didn't warn you!
I've been trying to turn Rav. Shmuel in to a agent of evil for years and this stupid web page can do with a crappy 5 minute conversation... man only now at the end do I see the true nature of the force, shoot me full of blue lightening and lets call it a day.

You talked to Yoda? Well, be glad you were not Mr. Spock, that conversation would turn ugly in a heartbeat. I am surprised you were willing to talk to Yoda or any character like that in the first place. I am still laughing - you joined the dark side; now bolts of lightning shoot from your hand as wield a lightsaber in the other. Hilarious!
