Okay I gotta know...What the heck is an "Orrex" anyway?
It kind of sounds like a weird antelope to me. Or some version of King of Gold.
However, one suggestion is that its a backwards version (also misspelled) of either somebodies IQ or the number of times someone has gotten lucky...:rofl:
(Temeah you are an evil genius!!!):hi:

2. I think this defines Orrex....
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

:evilgrin:

4. Sorry...
One Sunday afternoon the Three Musketeers played a game of touché football.

When the hockey player came home he gave his wife a puck on the cheek.

Why can't we let evil people have flutes? Because then the terrorists woodwind.

The barber did well at house breaking as he was good at cutting locks.

:rofl:

9. It's the most bizarre form of Boolean logic.
The process results in high-quality naughty limericks and haiku.

Orrex is the abbreviated name for the Illegal and Illicit Ore Exchange ran here on DU that is used to bilk unsuspecting retirees of their fixed income monies.

"Everybody Knows an Orrex traps 99.9% of microbes...But then what?" He writes a really bad sonnet to germs? He uses the germs to create a replicant superbug?
