Keep in mind always the four constant Laws of Frisbee:
	1) The most powerful force in the world is that of a disc
	   straining to land under a car, just out of reach (this
	   force is technically termed "car suck").
	2) Never precede any maneuver by a comment more predictive
	   than "Watch this!"
	3) The probability of a Frisbee hitting something is directly
	   proportional to the cost of hitting it.  For instance, a
	   Frisbee will always head directly towards a policeman or
	   a little old lady rather than the beat up Chevy.
	4) Your best throw happens when no one is watching; when the
	   cute girl you've been trying to impress is watching, the
	   Frisbee will invariably bounce out of your hand or hit you
	   in the head and knock you silly.

Key to Status: S=D/K.  S is the status of a person in an organization, D
is the number of doors he must open to perform his job and K is the
number of keys he carries.  A higher number denotes a higher status.

Examples:  The janitor needs to open 20 doors and has twenty keys (S =
1), a secretary has to open two doors with one key (S = 2), but the
president never has to carry around any keys since there is always
someone around to open doors for him (with K equal to 0 and a high D,
his S reaches infinity).

He walks into the room
He's got a briefcase like a bomb
A smile on both faces
And he calls it aplomb
He wants a bite of your apple
Hands you back the peel
He's fresh out of law school
He's got a licence to steal

When he offers his advice
You can guarantee
For several hundred dollars an hour
He will see how many complications
Your life will reveal
He's fresh out of law school
He's got a license to steal

He's an ambulance chaser
A waver of papers
He loves to mix with the movers and shakers
He's taking from them
He's taking from you
Lawyers love money
Anybody's will do
Just take it

He's poking his nose into people's despair
When tragedy strikes he will always be there
Looking so cool
His greed is hard to conceal
He's fresh out of law school
You gave him a license to steal

We've got seven hundred thousand
Attorneys at law
Nobody can tell me what we need them all for
We should throw them in chains
Chastise them and rebuke them
If that doesn't work
We ought to take 'em out and nuke 'em

Blow a lawyer to pieces
It's the obvious way
Don't wait for a thesis
Do it today
Take him to the court of no final appeal
When you're fresh out of lawyers
You don't know how good it's gonna feel

LOGICAL OPERATION - getting out of programming to marry rich
%%
LOGICAL [from the technical term "logical device", wherein a physical
device is referred to by an arbitrary name] adj. Understood to have
a meaning not necessarily corresponding to reality.  E.g., if a
person who has long held a certain post (e.g., Les Earnest at SAIL)
left and was replaced, the replacement would for a while be known
as the "logical Les Earnest".  The word VIRTUAL is also used.  At
SAIL, "logical" compass directions denote a coordinate system in
which "logical north" is toward San Francisco, "logical west" is
toward the ocean, etc., even though logical north varies between
physical (true) north near SF and physical west near San Jose.
(The best rule of thumb here is that El Camino Real by definition
always runs logical north-and-south.)

LOGO for the Dead

LOGO for the Dead lets you continue
your computing activities from "The Other Side."

The package includes a unique telecommunications feature which lets you
turn your TRS-80 into an electronic Ouija board. Then, using Logo's
graphics capabilities, you can work with a friend or relative on this
side of the Great Beyond to write programs. The software requires that
your body be hardwired to an analog-to-digital converter, which is then
interfaced to your computer.  A special terminal (very terminal) program
lets you talk with the users through Deadnet, an EBBS (Ectoplasmic
Bulletin Board System).

LOGO for the Dead is available for 10 percent of your estate
from NecroSoft inc., 6502 Charnelhouse Blvd., Cleveland, OH 44101.

LOVE POEM

My heart breaks out in pustules of joy
When each new morning struggles to its knees
To vomit in the toilet of your eyes
The stringy yellow phlegma of the sun.

It dribbles down your cheesy peeling nose,
On to the pillow where you lie, passed out
Like a wino urinated on by dogs --
You cannot comprehend my love for you.

My thoughts like scattered robins sing their tunes
They swoop to dine on breadcrumbs you have left
Behind the plate glass window of your heart.
They hit the glass, and instantly are killed.

Your beauty is as constant as the scars
Inflicted by a hot grease accident,
And like the fetid odor of your breath
My love for you can never be erased.

Ladies Night Tuesday!
%%
Ladies and Gentlemen, Hobos and Tramps,
Cross-eyed mosquitos and bowlegged ants,
I come before you to stand behind you
To tell you of something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday (which is good Friday),
There will be a convention held in the
Women's Club which is strictly for men.
Admission is free, pay at the door,
Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor.
It was a summer's day in winter,
And the snow was raining fast,
As a barefoot boy with shoes on,
Stood sitting in the grass.
Oh, that bright day in the dead of night,
Two dead men got up to fight.
Three blind men to see fair play,
Forty mutes to yell "Hooray"!
Back to back, they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise,
Came and arrested those two dead boys.
%%
Ladies and gentlemen, hoboes and tramps,
  Cross eyed mosquitoes, and bo-legged ants.
I come before you, to stand behind you,
  To tell you something, I know nothing about.
Admission is free, pay at the door.
  Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor.
There will be a women's tea, for men only.
At this tea, we will discuss such things as:
  The four corners of the round table,
  And how Christopher Columbus struggled across the Mississippi Ocean
    Holding only two flags:
      The first flag, the flag of the star spangled banana,
      The second flag, the flag of indigestion.
Very important speech, no need to come.
The End.

It's absolutely free, just pay at the door,
Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor.
It doesn't matter where you sit,
The man in the gallery is sure to spit.
Our guest announcer will gladly tell you
About Christopher Columbus, who sailed the ocean blue,
In a peanut shell with a hole clear through,
Holding in one hand the Declaration of Indigestion,
And in the other, the Star-Spreckled Banana,
And said, "Give me Life.  Or any other 25 cent magazine."

Last year, Fred Akers and Crew, The Texas Titty-Babies, were
traveling via bus in Oklahoma.	Anyway, as they crossed into
Oklahoma, they saw an OU football player standing on top of a
hill mooning them.

Well that was too much of an insult, and Fred stopped the bus.
He called his biggest player to the front of the bus and said
"Go kick that boy's ass!"  The football player took off up the
hill and disappeared.

A couple of minutes passed and Fred was getting worried.  He
called another player up and said, "Go help him."  So the
second player takes off up the hill and he too disappears.

That was too much for poor Fred's ticker, what with half of
Texas on his case for _LOSING_TOO_DAMN_MANY_GAMES_, and he
sent the rest of the busload of football players up the hill.

Well there was a lot of noise, and finally after about 10
minutes, the punter comes back over the hill, his jersey torn
to hell.  Fred says, "What the hell happened?  Couldn't you
all get that jerk off the hill?"  To this the punter replied.
"Aw shit, coach, there were two more of them back there!"

Laws of Procrastination:

	(1) Procrastination shortens the job and places the
	    responsibility for its termination on someone else
	    (the authority who imposed the deadline).
	(2) It reduces anxiety by reducing the expected quality of the
	    project from the best of all possible efforts to the best
	    that can be expected given the limited time.
	(3) Status is gained in the eyes of others, and in one's own
	    eyes, because it is assumed that the importance of the work
	    justifies the stress.
	(4) Avoidance of interruptions including the assignment of other
	    duties can usually be achieved, so that the obviously
	    stressed worker can concentrate on the single effort.
	(5) Procrastination avoids boredom; one never has the feeling
	    that there is nothing important to do.
	(6) It may eliminate the job if the need passes before the job
	    can be done.

Leroy's wife heard that the gummint was giving out free cheese so she
told him to go and get some.  Leroy gets in his pickup truck and heads
to the distribution center.  When he gets there, all that's left is a
big wheel of cheese so he puts it in the back of the truck and takes
off.

Unfortunately, he forgets to latch the tailgate so when he gets to the
top of a hill and stops for a stop sign, the cheese knocks down the
tailgate and starts to roll down the hill.  Leroy gets out of the car
and starts to chase after the cheese.

Meanwhile, there's a good ole boy named Sam at the bottom of the hill
who sees the cheese coming.  Not being one to pass up something for
free, he catches the cheese and throws it into HIS pickup truck.

When Sam gets home with his cheese, he proudly shows it to his wife.
The following conversation ensues:

Sam's wife: That's wonderful!  But, what kind of cheese is it?
Sam:	    Uh, uh, oh yeah, it's nacho cheese.
Sam's wife: Huh, how do you know it's nacho cheese?
Sam:	    Well, when I found it there was this guy running down
	    the hill yelling, "Hey mon, that's nacho cheese".

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

industrial civilization, but is not needed to maintain it, be given
an arrowhead and a bearskin, not a university chair of economics.

Like prehistoric cave dwellers, the devotees of electronic bulletin-boards and

would not work. Words, it seems, are not enough. Inarticulate sounds cannot be
displayed on screens.  To make their messages feel more like personal contact,
they have hit on using the punctuation marks on an ordinary keyboard in order
to pull faces at each other. To read these signs, you have to put your head on
your left shoulder. The basic unit is:

the "smiley", a standard smiling face. In context, this can mean "I'm happy to
hear from you", or other pleasantries.	The smiley can also wink:

Sweat oozed from its shiny skin.

Lobotomy
%%
Lobster:
	Everyone loves these delectable crustaceans, but many cooks are
squeamish about placing them into boiling water alive, which is the
only proper method of preparing them.  Frankly, the easiest way to
eliminate your guilt is to establish theirs by putting them on trial
before they're cooked.	The fact is, lobsters are among the most
ferocious predators on the sea floor, and you're helping reduce crime
in the reefs.  Grasp the lobster behind the head, look it right in its
unmistakably guilty eyestalks and say, "Where were you on the night of
the 21st?", then flourish a picture of a scallop or a sole and shout,
"Perhaps this will refresh that crude neural apparatus you call a
memory!"  The lobster will squirm noticeably.  It may even take a swipe
at you with one of its claws.  Incorrigible.  Pop it into the pot.
Justice has been served, and shortly you and your friends will be,
too.

Looking for a cool one after a long, dusty ride, the drifter strode into a
saloon.  He sidled up to the bar, ordered shot and a beer, and settled back
to enjoy his refreshment.  Suddenly, a man galloped into the bar, shouting,
"Run for your lives!  Big Mike's comin'!"
The drifter watched as most of the locals bolted for the door.	Suddenly,
the bar doors burst open.  An enormous man, standing eight feet tall and
weighing at least 400 pounds, rode in on a bull.  Grabbing the drifter by
the ankle, he tossed him over the bar and thundered, "Gimme a drink!"
The terrified fellow handed over a bottle of whiskey, which the man guzzled
in a single gulp and then shattered on the bar.  The drifter stood aghast as
the man stuffed the broken bottle in his mouth, munched the broken glass and
smacked his lips with relish.
"Can I, ah, get you another, sir?" the drifter stammered.
"Naw, I gotta git," the man grunted.  "Big Mike's comin'."

MARCH ON WITH IBM

Verse:

The fame of IBM
Spreads across the seven seas,
Our standards fly aloft,
Proudly waving in the breeze,
With T. J. Watson guiding us
we lead throughout the world,
For peace and trade our
banners are unfurled - unfurled.

Chorus:

March on with IBM
We lead the way,
Onward we'll ever go,
In strong array;
Our thousands to the fore,
Nothing can stem,
Our march forevermore,
With IBM.

March on with IBM
Work hand in hand,
Stout hearted men go forth,
In every land;
Our flags on every shore,
We march with them,
On high forevermore,
For IBM.

MISFEATURE n. A feature which eventually screws someone, possibly
because it is not adequate for a new situation which has evolved.
It is not the same as a bug because fixing it involves a gross
philosophical change to the structure of the system involved.
Often a former feature becomes a misfeature because a tradeoff was
made whose parameters subsequently changed (possibly only in the
judgment of the implementors).	"Well, yeah, it's kind of a
misfeature that file names are limited to six characters, but we're

act he must know the nature and purpose of his action.	He cannot obtain his

Management reaction test:
1) You are making a presentation to the corporate executives in the plushest
   office you've ever seen.  The lunch you had creates severe pressure. You
   lose control and break wind, causing the glass bookcase doors to shatter and
   a secretary to pass out. YOU SHOULD:
a) Offer to come back next week when the smell has dissipated.
b) Point to the Chief Executive and say "Why did you do that?".
c) Challenge anyone in the room to do better.

2) You are at a business lunch when you are suddenly overcome with an
   uncontrollable desire to pick your nose.  Since this is definitely a no-no,
   you:
a) Pretend to wave to someone across the room and with one fluid motion,
   bury  your forefinger in your nostril right up to the 4th joint.
b) Get everyone drunk and organize a nose picking contest with a prize to the
   one who makes his nose bleed first.
c) Drop your napkin on the floor and when you bend over to pick it up, blow
   your nose on your sock.

3) You have just returned from a trip to Green Bay, Wisconsin. You tell your
   boss that nobody but whores and football players live there. He mentions
   that his wife is from Green Bay. You:
a) Pretend you are suffering from amnesia and don't remember your name.
b) Ask what position she played.
c) Ask if she is still working the streets.

4) You have prepared a proposal for your boss. The success of this proposal
   will mean a 20% salary increase. In the middle of your proposal your boss
   leans over to look at your report and spits into your coffee. You:
a) Tell him you take your coffee black.
b) Ask him if he has any communicable diseases.
c) Show him who's in command; promptly take a leak in his "In" basket.

Orchestra was a man named Josef Stransky.  Stransky was
arrested, tried, and convicted for perpetrating violence

sentenced to death in the electric chair.

On the day appointed for his execution, Stransky was strapped
into the lethal chair.	The executioner stepped up to the
switch, and pulled it!

BUZZZZZ!!!   ZAPPPP!!!	When the smoke cleared, the witnesses
were astonished to see Stransky still very much alive, smiling
at them from his seat in the Chair.

The executioner, puzzled, thought there must have been a
fault in the wiring, so he called the Chief Electrician.
The electrician came, took one look at the scene, and
said,

Marriage Banns: 8th Century, Europe

     Curing European feudal times, all public announcements concerning
deaths, taxes, or births were called "banns."  Today we use the term
exclusively for an announcement that two people propose to marry.  That
interpretation began as a result of an order by Charlemagne, king of the
Franks, who on Christmas Day in AD 800 was crowned Emperor of the
Romans, marking the birth of the Holy Roman Empire.
     Charlemagne, with a vast region to rule, had a practical medical
reason for instituting marriage banns.
     Among rich and poor alike, a child's parentage was not always
clear; an extramarital indiscretion could lead to a half-brother and
half-sister marrying, and frequently did.  Charlemagne, alarmed by the
high rate of sibling marriages, and the subsequent genetic damage to the
offspring, issued an edict throughout his unified kingdom: All marriages
were to be publicly proclaimed at least seven days prior to the
ceremony.  To avoid consanguinity between the prospective bride and
groom, any person with information that the man and women were related
as brother or sister, or as half-siblings, was ordered to come forth.
The practice proved so successful that it was widely endorsed by all
faiths.

And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go.

It followed her through rain or snow, lightning, sleet or hail.
It fetched the evening paper, her slippers, and the mail.

She never had a moments peace; the lamb was always on her heels,
And on her feet its head would rest, while she ate her meals.

It followed her to school one day, the devotion never ended.
The lamb waltzed into her history class and Mary got suspended.

The night she went to Senior Prom, she thought she had him beat,
Until she heard a mournful "baaa" coming from her car's seat.

Oh, Mary had a little lamb, it surely didn't please her.
So for dinner she had lambchops; the rest is in the freezer.

Mary owned a little lamb,
Its fleece was pale as snow,
And every place its mistress went
It certainly would go;
It followed Mary to class one day
It broke a rigid law;
It made the students giggle aloud,
A lamb in class all saw.

Mary had a pygmy lamb,
His fleece was pale as snow,
And every place where Mary walked
Her lamb did also go;
He came inside her classroom once,
Which broke a rigid rule;
How children all did laugh and play
On seeing a lamb in school.

Mary had a tiny lamb,
Its wool was pallid as snow,
And any spot that Mary did walk
This lamb would always go;
This lamb did follow Mary to school,
Although against a law;
How girls and boys did laugh and play,
That lamb in class all saw.

Polly owned one little sheep
Its fleece shown white like snow,
Every region where Polly went
The sheep did surely go;
He followed her to school one time,
Which broke the rigid rule;
The children frolicked in their room
To see the sheep in school.

Men have always sought the elusive unicorn, for the single
twisted horn which projected from its forehead was thought
to be a powerful talisman. It was said that the unicorn had
simply to dip the tip of its horn in a muddy pool for the
water to become pure. Men also believed that to drink from
this horn was a protection against all sickness, and that if
the horn was ground to a powder it would act as an antidote
to all poisons. Less than 200 years ago in France, the horn
of a unicorn was used in a ceremony to test the royal food
for poison.
Although only the size of a small horse, the unicorn is a
very fierce beast, capable of killing an elephant with a
single thrust from its horn.  Its fleetness of foot also
makes this solitary creature difficult to capture. However,
it can be tamed and captured by a maiden. Made gentle by the
sight of a virgin, the unicorn can be lured to lay its head
in her lap, and in this docile mood, the maiden may secure
it with a golden rope.

They both get out. One is a doctor, one is a lawyer. The lawyer calls

It's cold and damp, and both men are shaken up. The lawyer offers
the doctor a drink of brandy from his hip flask, the doctor accepts,
drinks and hands it back to the lawyer, who puts it away.

hauled him before a marriage counselor. The marriage counselor
listened patiently to Minnie's complaints and to Max's

Minnie said that Max was causing her anguish.
Finally the marriage counselor issued a verdict."Max," he said,
"from now on, no matter how you feel, you must give Minnie her
conjugal rights at least semi-annually."
Minnie was delighted and they left the counselor's chambers.
On the way downstairs she nudged Max,"Tell me Max, how many

Miss Millay Says Something Too

I want to drown in good salt water,
I want my body to bump the pier;
Neptune is calling his wayward daughter,
Crying, "Edna, come over here!"

I hate the town and I hate the people;
I hate the dryness of floor and pave;
The spar of a ship is my tall church-steeple;
My soul is as wet as the wettest wave.

I'm seven-eighths salt and I want to roister
Deep in the brine with the submarine;
I speak the speech of the whale and oyster;
I know the ways of the wild sardine.

I'm tired of standing still and staring
Across the sea with my heels in dust:
I want to live like the sober herring,
And die as pickled when die I must.

Modern psychology takes completely for granted that behavior and neural
function are perfectly correlated, that one is completely caused by the
other.	There is no separate soul or lifeforce to stick a finger into
the brain now and then and make neural cells do what they would not
otherwise.  Actually, of course, this is a working assumption only....
It is quite conceivable that someday the assumption will have to be
rejected.  But it is important also to see that we have not reached
that day yet: the working assumption is a necessary one and there is no
real evidence opposed to it.  Our failure to solve a problem so far
does not make it insoluble.  One cannot logically be a determinist in
physics and biology, and a mystic in psychology.

Monkey wrench -- A monkey wrench is a wrench with a fixed jaw and an
adjustable jaw set at right angles to the handle. Tradition says it was
first devised by a London blacksmith named Charles Moncke, Moncke
changing to monkey by folk derivation. A difficulty with this theory, as
Mencken has pointed out, is that the British call a monkey wrench a
spanner. In 1932-33, the Boston Transcript traced the invention to 1856,
crediting it to a Yankee named Monk, employed by the firm of Bemis and
Call in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Mr. DePree also expects a "tremendous social change" in all workplaces.
"When I first started working 40 years ago, a factory supervisor was
focused on the product.  Today it is drastically different, because of
the social milieu.  It isn't unusual for a worker to arrive on his shift
and have some family problem that he doesn't know how to resolve.  The
example I like to use is a guy who comes in and says 'this isn't going
to be a good day for me, my son is in jail on a drunk-driving charge and
I don't know how to raise bail.'  What that means is that if the
supervisor wants productivity, he has to know how to raise bail."

been, we're all in deep trouble.  If we don't find ways to begin to
understand that capitalism's highest potential lies in the common good,
not in the individual good, then we're risking the system itself."

Much that is dreadful and inhuman in history, much that one hardly likes
to believe, is mitigated by the reflection that the one who commands and
the one who carries out are different people.  The former does not
behold the sight and does not experience the strong impression on the
imagination.  The latter obeys a superior and therefore feels no
responsibility for his acts.

Much to his Mum and Dad's dismay, Horace ate himself one day.
He didn't stop to say his grace, he just sat down and ate his face.
"We can't have this!" his Dad declared, "If that lad's ate, he should
	be shared."
But even as he spoke they saw Horace eating more and more:
First his legs and then his thighs, his arms, his nose, his hair, his eyes...
"Stop him someone!" Mother cried, "Those eyeballs would be better fried!"
But all too late, for they were gone, and he had started on his dong...
"Oh! foolish child!" the father mourns "You could have deep-fried that
	with prawns,
Some parsley and and some tartar sauce..."
But H. was on his second course: his liver and his lights and lung,
His ears, his neck, his chin, his tongue; "To think I raised him from the cot,
And now he's going to scoff the lot!"
His Mother cried: "What shall we do?  What's left won't even make a stew..."
And as she wept, her son was seen, to eat his head, his heart his spleen.
and there he lay: a boy no more, just a stomach on the floor...
None the less, since it *was* his, they ate it-- that's was haggis is.

Music endures and ages far better than books. Books, made of words, are

straightforward, and I find it has its advantages.  In fact, I wouldn't do it
any other way.	If the customer thinks at all, he'll realize he has had some
bad experience with another salesman, but hasn't had that kind of experience
with you.  So in the end, several customers will stay with you for a long time
and appreciate it."

My message above.  Your response here ____________.
%%
My message is not that biological determinists were bad scientists or
even that they were always wrong.  Rather, I believe that science must
be understood as a social phenomenon, a gutsy, human enterprise, not
the work of robots programmed to collect pure information.  I also
present this view as an upbeat for science, not as a gloomy epitaph for
a noble hope sacrificed on the alter of human limitations.

I believe that a factual reality exists and that science, though often
in an obtuse and erratic manner, can learn about it.  Galileo was not
shown the instruments of torture in an abstract debate about lunar
motion.  He had threatened the Church's conventional argument for social
and doctrinal stability:  the static world order with planets circling
about a central earth, priests subordinate to the Pope and serfs to
their lord.  But the Church soon made its peace with Galileo's cosmology.
They had no choice; the earth really does revolve about the sun.

Nasrudin said, "I can see in the dark."  A student asked, "If that is

%%
Nasrudin said, "If your donkey allows someone to steal your coat,
steal his saddle."
%%
Nasrudin used to take a donkey across a frontier every day, with
the panniers loaded with straw.  Since he admitted to being a smuggler
when he trudged home every night, the guards searched him again and
again.	They frisked him, sifted the straw, even tried burning it.
They found nothing, but as time went by Nasrudin became more and
more prosperous.  Many years later, in another country, a retired
customs guard met Nasrudin and asked him what he had been smuggling.
"Donkeys" was the reply.
%%
Nasrudin was taking a load of salt to market.  His donkey waded through
a stream, dissolving the salt.	Delighted to be relieved of his load,
the donkey frisked on the shore, but Nasrudin was angered.  The next
market day, Nasrudin loaded the donkey with wool.  The animal nearly
drowned from the weight of the wool after wetting it in the stream.
Nasrudin sold the heavy, damp wool for more than it was worth.

Nasrudin, ferrying a pedant across a piece of rough water, said

"Have you ever learned how to swim?"  "No."  "Then all your life
is wasted -- we are sinking!"

Nature (reality) is just as absolutist as chess, and her rules (laws)

are much, much more complex, and have to be discovered by man.	And
just as a man may memorize the rules of chess, but has to use his own
mind in order to apply them, i.e., in order to play well -- so each
man has to use his own mind in order to apply the rules of nature, i.e.,
in order to live successfully.	A long time ago, the grandmaster of

one discovers the rules of nature and of life.	His name was Aristotle.

%%
New York eclipses all other cities in the spontaneous cordiality and
generosity of its inhabitants - at least, such inhabitants as I have
encountered.
		-- H. P. Lovecraft, 9/29/1922
%%
New York is a jungle, they tell you.  You could go further, and say that
New York is a jungle.  New York *is a jungle.* Beneath the columns of
the old rain forest, made of melting macadam, the mean Limpopo of
swamped Ninth Avenue bears an angry argosy of crocs and dragons, tiger
fish, noise machines, sweating rainmakers.  On the corners stand
witchdoctors and headhunters, babbling voodoo-men -- the natives, the
jungle-smart natives.  And at night, under the equatorial overgrowth and
heat-holding cloud cover, you hear the ragged parrot-hoot and
monkeysqueak of the sirens, and then fires flower to ward off monsters.
Careful: the streets are sprung with pits and nets and traps.  Hire a
guide.	Pack your snakebite gook and your blowdart serum.  Take it
seriously.  You have to get a bit jungle-wise.
		-- Martin Amis, "Money"
%%
New York is the biggest boob town in America. All any of those
hokum peddlers need to do in selling New Yorkers their phony`
goods is to ask what they want, and they'll be sure to get it.
		-- Bat Masterson
%%
New York state law makes it illegal for children to collect old cigar
butts.
%%
New York-- to that tall skyline I come
Flyin' in from London to your door
New York-- lookin' down on Central Park
Where they say you should not wander after dark.
New York.
		-- Simon and Garfunckle
%%
New York... when civilization falls apart, remember, we were way ahead
of you.
		-- David Letterman
%%
New Yorkers like to boast that if you can survive in New York, you can survive
anywhere. But if you can survive anywhere, why live in New York?
		-- Edward Abbey
%%
New financial propositions may be offered at the turn of the year.
%%
New opinions are always suspected, and usually opposed, without any
other reason but because they are not already common.
		-- John Locke (1632-1704)
%%
New problems demand new solutions.
New solutions create new problems.

Newton realized that, according to his theory of gravity, the stars should
attract each other, so it seemed they could not remain essentially motionless.
Would they not all fall together at some point?  In a letter in 1691 to
Richard Bentley, another leading thinker of his day, Newton argued that this
would indeed happen if there were only a finite number of stars distributed
over a finite region of space.	But he reasoned that if, on the other hand,
there were an infinite number of stars, distributed more or less uniformly
over infinite space, this would not happen, because there would not be
any central point for them to fall to.

This argument is an instance of the pitfalls that you can encounter in
talking about infinity...

No need to go to alt.stupid.drug.arguments!  There is a real group
called alt.drugs.  It is sort of interesting to read, but not really
great.	My favorite kind of posting goes like this:

   "My doctor prescribed Quaxalone to me.  Quaxalone is an
acetylesterase-agonist inhibitor with a 3-methyl-4-diethyl-6-
hexyhypotheodoxyltribenzylglutamine ring covalent bond in the 4,5,6
gloucester-mass position.

   Can anyone give me any information on the potential for
recreational use of this substance?"

   Or, better yet,

   "Over the weekend, I decided to test the therapeutic effects of
goldenrod husks, which grow in abundance in the field across from my
house.	I harvested about three bushels of the plant, and removed the
husks, yielding about five pounds of raw material. I added these to
ten gallons of boiling water and simmered them, covered, for six
hours.	After that time, I strained out the fibrous material, leaving
a black liquid which I boiled down to approximately three cups of a
heavy, tar-like substance.  To this I added one cup of brandy and one
cup of sugar.
   I drank the entire mixture in two doses, spaced about fifteen
minutes apart.	The taste was extremely bitter and unpalatable.
Approximately one half hour later, I began to have violent intestinal
cramps and uncontrollable muscular spasms, which lasted about three
hours.	Following that, I sank into a stuporous delirium which
continued for sixteen hours, followed by a period of intense headache
and lethargy.

   All in all, I would rank this trip worse than jimson weed, but
far better than Roto-root."

   To which a reply might be:

   "The active component of goldenrod husks is 12-beta-3-methyl-
headphonerase, which is an anticoagulant and convulsant.  It was
tested briefly by the army during WW2 as a potential nerve gas,
but abandoned because the effects were too unpredictable, and the
substance was considered too dangerous to handle."

No, your place in life is where you want to be.
Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me.
Keep on looking forward, no use in looking around.
Hold your head above the crowd, they want to bring you down.

Live for yourself, there's no one else more worth living for,
Begging hands and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more.

Well, I know they've told you, selfishness is wrong.
Yet it was for me, not you, that I came to write this song.

Anthem of the heart, anthem of the mind,
A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind.

And wondered in the world they wrought.

Steelypips, illustrious, industrious, and they hadn't a care: no spats

a dream of a machine, with springs and gears and perfect in every

then they put them all together, and if one didn't fit, why they
chipped at it a bit, and everything was just fine ...

Not only is "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" a wholly remarkable book,
it is also a highly successful one - more popular than the "Celestial Home Care
Omnibus", better selling than "Fifty-three More Things to Do in Zero Gravity",
and more controversial than Oolon Colluphid's trilogy of philosophical
blockbusters, "Where God Went Wrong", "Some More of God's Greatest Mistakes"
and "Who Is This God Person Anyway?"
In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the
Galaxy, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" has already supplanted the
great "Encyclopedia Galactica" as the standard repository of all knowledge
and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is
apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, it scores over the older, more
pedestrian work in two important respects.
First, it is slightly cheaper; and second, it has the words "DON'T PANIC"
inscribed in large friendly letters on its cover.

Now I was heading, in my hot cage, down towards meat-market country on
the tip of the West Village.  Here the redbrick warehouses double as
carcass galleries and rat hives, the Manhattan fauna seeking its
necessary level, living or dead.  Here too you find the heavy faggot
hangouts, The Spike, the Water Closet, the Mother Load.  Nobody knows
what goes on in these places.  Only the heavy faggots know.  Even
Fielding seems somewhat vague on the question.	You get zapped and
flogged and dumped on -- by almost anybody's standards, you have a
really terrible time.  The average patron arrives at the Spike in one
taxi but needs to go back to his sock in two.  And then the next night
he shows up for more.  They shackle themselves to racks, they bask in
urinals.  Their folks have a lot of explaining to do, if you want my
opinion, particularly the mums.  Sorry to single you ladies out like
this but the story must start somewhere.  A craving for hourly murder --
it can't be willed.  In the meantime, Fielding tells me, Mother Nature
looks on and taps her foot and clicks her tongue.  Always a champion of
monogamy, she is cooking up some fancy new diseases.  She just isn't
going to stand for it.

He spread out the program.		They buried him next day
Deserted.  Alone.			(face down, nine edge first).

The cleaning men came.			The last bug in sight,
The whole room was cluttered		one small ant passing by,
with punch cards, core dumps;		saluted his tombstone
"I'm close," he muttered.		and whispered "Nice try."

His mumbling grew louder,
"Simple deduction!
I've got it!  It's right!
Just change one instruction."

Of all the monsters put together by the Greek imagination the Centaurs
(Kentauroi) constituted a class in themselves.	Despite a strong streak of
sensuality in their make-up, their normal behaviour was moral, and they took
a kindly thought of man's welfare. The attempted outrage of Nessos on
Deianeira, and that of the whole tribe of Centaurs on the Lapith women, are
more than offset by the hospitality of Pholos and by the wisdom of Cheiron,
physician, prophet, lyrist, and the instructor of Achilles.  Further, the
Centaurs were peculiar in that their nature, which united the body of a
horse with the trunk and head of a man, involved an unthinkable duplication
of vital organs and important members. So grotesque a combination seems
almost un-Greek.  These strange creatures were said to live in the caves and
clefts of the mountains, myths associating them especially with the hills of
Thessaly and the range of Erymanthos.

than profit and is somewhat sadistic, he only takes things which you
have seen.  Although he prefers valuables, sometimes in his haste he may
take something which is worthless.  From time to time, he examines his
take and discards objects which he doesn't like.  He may occasionally
stop in a room you are visiting, but more often he just wanders through
and rips you off (he is a skilled pickpocket).

About 2 years ago, there was a big flap when a 6 year old boy and his
3 year old sister disappeared from their home.	The police searched,
the parents freaked, and the media-types looked solemn as they announced
that there was still no trace of the children.	The kids showed up a few
days later.  It seems that they had run away from home due to some
dispute over second helpings of Ovaltine or some such.	The funny part
was when the media-type was interviewing the boy.

	Interviewer:   "Weren't you cold at night?"
	Boy:		"Naw.  We just slept under a porch."
	Interviewer:	"Didn't you get hungry?  What did you eat?"
	Boy:		"Slugs."
	Interviewer:	(Turning a delightful shade of green but still
			game.) "How did you eat them?"
	Boy:		"We boiled them in some aluminum foil we stole.
			They taste kind of like chicken ..."
	Interviewer:	(Going a deeper green.)  "Back to you, Cathy.."

Now there is a real survivalist.  Having eaten escargot, (once), I'm of
the opinion that snails are just slugs in dress clothes.

Once I belonged to a group that really had THE WORD.  I fought like hell
for them.  But another group came along and exposed the word of my group
as shallow and degenerate.  The had a better word.  So I quit the first
group and lost all the friends I had made and I joined up with this new
group.	I fought like hell for them.  But another group came around.  They
exposed the word of my group as false and materialistic.  Their word was
very much better.  So I quit the second group and lost all the friends I
had made.  And I joined up with this new group.  I fought like hell for them.
Till this one guy came along and proved that there wasn't any word at all.
That I should go off as an individual and grow!  So I quit the last group
and lost all the friends I had made.  And now I sit home alone all day and
all I do is grow.  It would be nice to join up with some others who feel

Once in a great while, when the positions of the stars are just right, a
seven-year-old rooster will lay an egg. Then, along will come a snake,
to coil around the egg, or a toad, to squat upon the egg, keeping it
warm and helping it to hatch. When it hatches, out comes a creature
called basilisk, or cockatrice, the most deadly of all creatures. A
single glance from its yellow, piercing toad's eyes will kill both man
and beast. Its power of destruction is said to be so great that
sometimes simply to hear its hiss can prove fatal. Its breath is so
venomous that it causes all vegetation to wither.
There is, however, one creature which can withstand the basilisk's
deadly gaze, and this is the weasel. No one knows why this is so, but
although the fierce weasel can slay the basilisk, it will itself be
killed in the struggle. Perhaps the weasel knows the basilisk's fatal
weakness: if it ever sees its own reflection in a mirror it will perish
instantly. But even a dead basilisk is dangerous, for it is said
that merely touching its lifeless body can cause a person to sicken and
die.

Once in a medieval times...there was a King who was getting sort of
bored after dinner one night.  He decided to hold a contest of who at
the court had the mightiest "weapon".  The first knight stood up and
proclaimed that he had the mightiest weapon...he pulled down his pants
and tied a 5 pound weight around it.  The weapon doth rose. The crowds
cheered...the women swooned...the children waved multi-colored
banners...and the band played appropriate music.

Another knight stood up and yelled that he had the mightiest weapon. He
dropped his pants and tied a 10 pound weight to himself. The weapon doth
rose. The crowds cheered...the women swooned...the children waved
multi-colored banners...  and the band played appropriate music.

After several more knights tried to prove their superiority...the King
finally spoke out. "I have the mightiest weapon of them all!" He dropped
his pants and tied, not a 10 pound, not a 20 pound, not ever a thirty
pound, but a 40 pound weight to himself. The weapon doth rose. The
crowds cheered...the women swooned...the children waved multi-colored
banners...and the band played "God Save the Queen".

Once there was a little nerd who loved to read your mail,
And then yank back the i-access times to get hackers off his tail,
And once as he finished reading from the secretary's spool,
He wrote a rude rejection to her boyfriend (how uncool!)
And this as delivermail did work and he ran his backfstat,
He heard an awful crackling like rat fritters in hot fat,
And hard errors brought the system down 'fore he could even shout!
	And the bio bug'll bring yours down too, ef you don't watch out!

And when he went to his blit that night to play at being god,

But when they did a ps -ut they found the system crashed!
Oh, the wizards adb'd the dumps and did the system trace,
And worked on the file system 'til the disk head was hot paste,
But all they ever found was this:  "panic: never doubt",
	And the bio bug'll crash your box too, ef you don't watch out!
When the day is done and the moon comes out,
And you hear the printer whining and the rk's seems to count,
When the other desks are empty and their terminals glassy grey,

Once there was this conductor see, who had a bass problem.  You see, during
a portion of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in which there are no bass violin
parts, one of the bassists always passes a bottle of scotch around.  So,
to remind himself that the basses usually required an extra cue towards the
end of the symphony, the conductor would fasten a piece of string around the
page of the score before the bass cue.	As the basses grew more and more
inebriated, two of them fell asleep.  The conductor grew quite nervous (he
was very concerned about the pitch) because it was the bottom of the ninth;
the score was tied and the basses were loaded with two out.

Once there were these two birds who, every year for quite a few years,
had one egg, which they hatched and nurtured and loved until the little
chick was ready to leave the nest.  Then, one year, they had TWO eggs!
Well, they were just so excited they could hardly stand it; this year
they would each have an egg to take care of and love.  They kept close
watch on those two eggs so that no harm came to them.  Then one day when
the eggs were ready to hatch, an earthquake shook the tree that the nest
was in; the two birds flew away to safety, all the while worrying about
those two eggs that were about to hatch.  When the tremor was finished,
they hurried back to the nest.	As they neared it, they heard one strong
"Cheep" coming from the nest.  They were worried that something might
have happened to the other egg, but when they got to the nest, they
found that there were two chicks cheeping in unison.  This just goes to
show that two can cheap as lively as one.

Once upon a time there was a farmer who owned a large number of chickens and
made money by selling chickens to a local distributing company.  The farmer
wanted to increase his business, and so went to market to buy another rooster.
"This rooster," assured the vendor, "is my best.  He's virile and energetic
and will take care of all your chickens!"  The farmer, delighted at this,
bought the rooster and returned to his farm.  He set the rooster loose among
his hen houses and, sure enough, the rooster enthusiastically went to work.
It wasn't too long, however, before the rooster finished off all the hens and
began on the few geese and ducks that were on the farm.  "If you keep up this
rate," warned the farmer, "you'll screw yourself to death!"  The rooster,
however, scoffed at the farmer and continued at an increased speed.  The next
morning, the farmer was doing his chores when he noticed several buzzards in
the sky circling over something.  He headed out behind the barn, and sure
enough there was the rooster, flat on his back, with eyes closed.  The farmer
shook his fist at the motionless body and cursed, shouting "I knew it!	I told
you so!  I knew you'd screw yourself to death!"  The rooster turned his head
toward the farmer, opened one eye, and winked.	"Shhh!" he said, pointing to
the birds above.  "I think they're coming down."

Once upon a time, pretty little Polly Nomial was strolling across
a field of vectors when she came to the boundary of a singularly
large matrix.  Now Polly was convergent and her mother had made it an absolute
condition that she never enter such an array with her brackets on.  Polly,
however, who had changed her variables that morning and was feeling
particularly badly behaved, ignored this condition on the basis that it was
sufficient, and made her way amongst the complex elements.

Rows and columns closed in on her from all sides.  Tangents approached
her surface.  She had become tensor and tensor.  Quite suddenly, two branches
of a hyperbola touched her at a single point.  She oscillated violently, lost
all sense of directrix, and went completely divergent.	As she reached a
turning point, she tripped over a square root that was protruding from the erf
and plunged headlong down a steep gradient.  When she rounded off once more,
she found herself inverted, apparently alone, in a non-euclidean space.

She was being watched, however.  That smooth operator, Curly Pi, was
lurking inner product.	As his eyes devoured her curvilinear coordinates, a
singular expression crossed his face.  He wondered "Was she still convergent?"
He decided to integrate improperly at once.

Hearing a common fraction behind her, Polly rotated and saw Curly Pi
approaching with his power series extrapolated.  She could see at once by his
degenerate conic and his dissipative terms that he was bent on no good.

  "Arcsinh!" she gasped.
  "Ho, ho." he said, "What a symmetric little asymptote you have.  I can see
that your angles have lots of secs."
  "Oh, sir." she protested, "Keep away from me.  I haven't got any brackets
on."
  "Calm yourself, my dear." said our suave operator.  "Your fears are
purely imaginary."
  "I, i." she thought.	"Perhaps he's not normal but homotopic."
  "What order are you?" he demanded.
  "Seventeen." replied Polly.
  Curly leered.  "I suppose you've never been operated on?"
  "Of course not." Polly replied quite promptly.  "I'm absolutely
convergent."
  "Come, come." said Curly, "Let's go off to a decimal place I know and I'll
take you to the limit."
  "Never!" gasped Polly.
  "Abscissa!" he swore using the vilest oath he knew.  His patience was gone.
Coshing her over the coefficient with a log until she was powerless, Curly
removed her discontinuities.  He stared at her significant places and began
smoothing her point of inflexions.  Poor, poor Polly!  The algorithmic method
was her only hope.  She felt his hand tending to her asymptotic limit.	Soon
her convergence would be gone forever.

There was no mercy, for Curly was a heavyside operator.  Curly's radius
squared itself; Polly's loci quivered.	He integrated by parts.  He integrated
by partial fractions.  After he cofactored, he performed Runge-Kutta on her.
The complex beast even went all the way around and did a contour integration.
What an indignity, to be multiply connected on her very first integration.
Curly went on operating until he had satisfied her hypothesis; then he
exponentiated and became completely orthogonal.

When Polly got home that night, her mother noticed that she was no longer
piecewise continuous but had been truncated in several places.	But it was too
late to differentiate now.  As the months went by Polly's denominator increased
monotonically.	Finally she went to L'Hospital and generated a small but
pathological function which left surds all over the place and drove Polly to
deviation.

The moral of our sad story is this: "If you want to keep your expressions
convergent, never allow them a single degree of freedom."

Once upon a time, there was a non-conforming sparrow who decided not to
fly south for the winter.  However, soon after the weather turned cold,
the sparrow changed his mind and reluctantly started to fly south.
After a short time, ice began to form his on his wings and he fell to
earth in a barnyard almost frozen.  A cow passed by and crapped on this
little bird and the sparrow thought it was the end, but the manure
warmed him and defrosted his wings.  Warm and happy the little sparrow
began to sing.	Just then, a large Tom cat came by and hearing the
chirping investigated the sounds.  As Old Tom cleared away the manure,
he found the chirping bird and promptly ate him.

There are three morals to this story:

(1) Everyone who shits on you is not necessarily your enemy.
(2) Everyone who gets you out of shit is not necessarily your friend.
(3) If you are warm and happy in a pile of shit, keep your mouth shut.

Once upon a time, when I was training to be a mathematician, a group of

	It's the only even prime, therefore is odd.  QED.
3:  The True Prime --
	Lewis Carroll: "If I tell you 3 times, it's true."
31: The Arbitrary Prime --
	Determined by unanimous unvote.  We needed an arbitrary prime
	in case the prof asked for one, and so had an election.  91
	received the most votes (well, it *looks* prime) and 3+4i the
	next most.  However, 31 was the only candidate to receive none
	at all.

Since the composite numbers are formed from primes, their qualities are
derived from those primes.  So, for instance, the number 6 is "odd but
true", while the powers of 2 are all extremely odd numbers.

Once, it is said, a friend visited Michael Angelo.  The great sculptor
was busy putting finishing touches on a magnificent statue of an
athlete.  To the friends untrained eye, it looked nearly finished.
After making some small talk, he left in a hurry so as not to disturb
the genius further.

When he visited Michael Angelo again some weeks later, he found the
great master still working on the statue, which, to him, looked exactly
the same as it had done on the occasion of his last visit.  "What have
you been doing these last few weeks?" he asked in astonishment.  "Oh,
I've been very busy," Michael Angelo replied, "I've made the bulge of
that muscle a little rounder, and I've improved the line of the jaw."

"But my dear friend," the friend cried, "why waste your time with such
minute details?  After all, these are mere trifles!"

To which Michael Angelo replied, "That may be so, but don't forget:
trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle."

One Last Masquerade

When rainbows dim and armor rusts
The furtive dreams have turned to dust

Responding to his frail calls
Soft echoes fade in empty halls

He grabs a scrapbook off the shelf
To search for something he once felt

The book falls open to a page
Whose yellow tint reveals its age

The dog-eared corners mark the times
He's sat to read this silent rhyme

Each friendly face and cheerful smile
Reminders of a time gone by

A parking lot replaced the trees
They'd sit beneath on summer eves

Preserved within this photograph
Their shade becomes an epitaph

Retreat within this lone charade
Disguised as one last masquerade

Of who we are and whom we aren't
In which to play our chosen part

As hours pass and daylight fades
He bows his head and draws the shades

The doorbell rings; some friends arrive
To ask if he is still alive

But leave before he answers 'no'
Because they'd rather be alone

Returning to his book of dreams
Recalling life's unbroken schemes

Thou shalt not travel back in time
To change the meter or the rhyme

A photo's fine to recall friends
As long as dreams come to an end

When yesterday can live again
Intractable as you pretend

So be content with what you've done
And climb life's ladder rung by rung

As he read the words once more
Appreciating ancient lore

He realized that it was wrong
To tamper with a sacred song

But then to wonder if it was
So wrong to change life for just cause

Replay the sorrow to make it sweet
And return laughter to the street

Time dragged on, and soon he fell
Back into that endless well

He hoped for things he'd never see
To live a life he'd never be

One last party and one last dance
To just be given one last chance

The candle flickers; the image dies
As darkness falls, an old man cries

One dark night in the middle of the day
Two dead boys went out to play.
They faced each other back to back
Drew their knives and shot each other.

And beat the life out of the two dead boys.
And if you don't believe this lie is true,
Ask the blind man,
He saw it too.

One day God came down from heaven and came to the Pope.  God looked at
the Pope and said, "Do not be afraid, this is just a little survey I
take of all the Popes.	The first question I have of you is do you think
that Priests will ever be able to get married?"

The Pope answered "Ah, no, not in my life time."

God said, "Okay, the next question is: Do you think there should be
women priests?"

The Pope answered "Ah, no, not in my life time."

God said, "Okay, my last question is: Do you think the Roman Catholic
church should approve birth control?"

The Pope answered "Ah, no, not in my life time."

God said, "Okay, thank you very much for your time." and he turned and
started to leave when the Pope said, "Lord, may I ask you one question?"

God turned to the Pope and said, "Sure, you answered mine, what would
you like to know?"

The Pope said, "As you know I am very patriotic and I was wondering if
there would ever be another Polish pope?"

God answered "Ah, no, not in my life time."

One day Nasrudin encountered a meditating Yogi.  Hoping to learn
something, he asked the Yogi who and what he was.  "I am a Yogi," was
the reply, "and I seek communion with all living things."  "That is
interesting," replied Nasrudin, "because a fish once saved my life."
The Yogi begged him to join him, because he had such harmony with the
animal world.  After weeks of meditation, the Yogi asked to hear more of
the fish that saved Nasrudin's life.  Nasrudin said, "I was starving,
and the fish provided sustenance for three days."

One day Nasrudin was walking down a deserted road, when he saw several
mounted men approaching.  Fearing that they were bandits or army
recruiters, he hid in an adjacent graveyard.  The travelers, who
were innocent, had seen him leap the wall.  They left the road and
sought Nasrudin, asking if they could help him, and why he was cowering
in the graveyard.  The Mullah replied, "I am here because of you,
and you are here because of me."

One day President Reagan, Chairman Andropov, the Pope, and a boy scout
were flying together in an airplane.  Right out in the middle of
nowhere the plane developed engine trouble and started to go down.
Unfortunately, only three parachutes could be found for the four
passengers!  Andropov grabbed one of the parachutes and declared
"Comrades, as leader of the socialist workers revolution, my life must
be spared," and he jumped out of the plane.  Then Reagan exclaimed "As
leader of the greatest nation on earth, I must keep the world safe for
democracy," and with that he too jumped to safety.  Now if you are
following all this (or counting on your fingers) you must see that
there is only one parachute left for the two remaining passengers.  The
Pope looked kindly upon the boy scout and said "I have had a long and
productive life, my son.  You take the parachute and leave me in God's
hands."  "That's very kind of you," the observant scout replied, "but
there is no need.  Reagan just jumped out with my knapsack."

One day a mouse was driving along the road in his Mercedes when he heard an
anguished roaring noise coming from the side of the road.  Stopping the car,
he got out and discovered a lion stuck in a deep ditch and roaring for help.
Reassuring the lion, the mouse tied a rope around the axle of the Mercedes,
threw the other end down to the lion, and pulled the beast out of the ditch.
The lion thanked the mouse profusely and they went their separate ways.
	Two weeks later the lion was out for a stroll in the country when
he heard a panicked squeaking coming from the side of the road.  Investigating
the noise, what should he come across but the mouse stuck in the same hole.
"Oh, please help me, Mr. Lion," squeaked the terrified mouse.  "I saved you
with my car once, remember?"
	"Course I'll help you, little feller," roared the lion. "I'll just
lower my dick down to you, you hold on to it, and we'll have you out of there
in a jiffy."  Sure enough, a few minutes later the mouse was high and dry on
the roadside, trying to convey his eternal gratitude to the lion.
	"Don't give it another thought," said the lion kindly.	"It just goes
to show that if you've got a big dick, you don't need a Mercedes."

to get something in town.  Having never been there before, he was

called out to him, "Ten dollars for a quicky, Father?"	Embarrassed and

"Hey Father, ten bucks for a quicky!"  Looking up, he saw another woman
wearing even less clothes than the previous one.  Now completely

complete his errand so that he could get back to the monastery to talk

One day on Daff Dome in Tuolumne my partner and I were queued up behind
T. M. and his partner on a short friction climb.  T. M. and his partner
finished and rapped down, and were starting an adjacent climb.  When my
partner on the lead reached the two bolt belay, he was disturbed at the
old 1/4" bolts he was going to rely on.

T. M. quipped "Yeah, they're bad all right.  One of them came out when we were
up there, but we stuck it back in with some matchsticks to hold it in place,
it should be ok now."

One of the saddest lessons of history is this:	If we've been
bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the

even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous.  (So the old
bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.)

The other prisoners watched the thief singing to the horse and laughed.
"You will not succeed," they told him.	"No one can."  To which the thief
replied, "I have a year, and who knows what might happen in that time.	The
king might die.  The horse might die.  I might die.  And perhaps the horse
will learn to sing.

Our [softball] team usually puts the other woman at second base, where
the maximum possible number of males can get there on short notice to
help out in case of emergency.	As far as I can tell, our second
basewoman is a pretty good baseball player, better than I am, anyway,
but there's no way to know for sure because if the ball gets anywhere
near her, a male comes barging over from, say, right field, to deal
with it.  She's been on the team for three seasons now, but the males
still don't trust her.	They know, deep in their souls, that if she had
to choose between catching a fly ball and saving an infant's life, she
probably would elect to save the infant's life, without ever
considering whether there were men on base.

Our schizophrenic societies progress by knowledge but survive on inspiration
derived from the very beliefs which that knowledge erodes.  I suggest that the
paradox can be at least intellectually resolved, not all at once but eventually
and with consequences difficult to perfect, if we pay due attention to the
sociobiology of religion. Although the manifestations of the religious
experiences are resplendent and multidimensional and so complicated that the
finest of psychoanalyst and philosophers get lost in their labyrinth, I
believe that religious practices can be mapped onto the two dimensions of
genetic advantage and evolutionary change.

Overall, the philosophy is to attack the availability problem from two
complementary directions: to reduce the number of software errors
through rigorous testing of running systems, and to reduce the effect
of the remaining errors by providing for recovery from them.  An
interesting footnote to this design is that now a system failure can
usually be considered to be the result of two program errors: the
first, in the program that started the problem; the second, in the
recovery routine that could not protect the system.

PSALM OF THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR

Dr. (	  ) is my professor
I shall not pass.
He maketh me to exhibit mine ignorance before the whole class.
He telleth me more than I can write.
He lowreth mine grades.
Yea, though I walk through the corridors of knowledge, I do not learn.
He tryeth to teach me.
He writeth equations before me in hopes that I will understand them.
He bombardeth my head with integrations.
My calculator freezeth up.
Surely enthalpies and entropies shall follow me all the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the School of
Engineering forever.

Pee-Wee's Playhouse Theme Song
------------------------------
C'mon in, and pull yourself up a chair, (like Chairie!)
Let the fun begin, it's time to let down your hair,
Pee-Wee's sure excited, (uh-huh!)
'Cause all his friends have been invited, (that's you!)
To go wacky, at Pee-Wee's playhouse.  (Arrr!)

There's a crazy rhythm coming from the puppet land, (what's that?)
Dirty Dog, Cool Cat, Chicky Baby are the puppet band, (yeah!)
He's got a couple of talking fish,
And a Genie who'll grant a wish,
Golly it's cuckoo, at Pee-Wee's playhouse.

Globie's spinning, Mr. Window's grinning,
'Cause Pterri's flying by, (hello!)
The flowers are singing, the picture phone is ringing,
And the dinosaur family says "Hi,"
Mr. Kite's soaring, Conkie's still a-snoring,
There's a flashing Magic Screen,
The Countess is so classy, Randy's kinda sassy,
A nuttier establishment you've never seen,
Spend a day with Pee-Wee and you'll see what we mean.  (c'mon!)

Get out of bed, there'll be no more napping, (Wake up!)
'Cause we've landed in a place where anything can happen,
Now we've given you fair warning,
It's gonna be that kind of morning,
For going wacky, or getting nutty,
Golly it's cuckoo, at Pee-Wee's playhouse!

Perhaps the best way to characterize the relationship between DNA and meaning
is to say that DNA is the source of meaning.  It takes information about the

meet, the place where reports become instructions.  DNA is thus what first
gave meaning to life; or, perhaps, what first created meaning, and therefore
life, or what first created life, and therefore meaning.  In any event, it is
very impressive stuff.

Peter watches as Jesus has just been put up on the cross.  He here this
voice saying, "Peter, Peter".  Peter quickly advances towards the cross
when he is confronted with this big Roman guard.

The guard says, "You are not allowed to advance any further, if you feel
you must I will have to cut off both your arms."

Peter says, "I must the Lord is call me."

So at that moment the guard cuts off both his arms, chop chop, and kicks
him down the hill.

At the bottom of the hill, Peter again hears the voice, "Peter, Peter".

He crawls his way up the hill and again is confronted by the Roman
guard.

The Roman guard says, "If you advance any further I will have to cut off
both of your legs."

Peter says, "I must, the Lord is calling me."  So he advanced and the
guard cut off both of his legs, chop, chop, and kicks him down the hill.

Peter is at the bottom of the hill in great agony and again hears,
"Peter, Peter".

Peter somehow manages to squirm up the hill and up to the cross and says
"Yes Lord, how can I serve you?".

Jesus says, "I can see your house from here."

Picking up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream,
I wonder how the old folks are tonight,
Her name was Ann, and I'll be damned if I recall her face,
She left me not knowing what to do.

Carefree Highway, let me slip away on you,
Carefree Highway, you seen better days,
The morning after blues, from my head down to my shoes,
Carefree Highway, let me slip away, slip away, on you...

Turning back the pages to the times I love best,
I wonder if she'll ever do the same,
Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied,
With knowing I got noone left to blame.
Carefree Highway, I got to see you, my old flame...

Searching through the fragments of my dream shattered sleep,
I wonder if the years have closed her mind,
I guess it must be wanderlust or tryin' to get free,
From the good old faithful feelin' we once knew.

when light and shadow on paper become flesh

As I look upon this image of you,
I see the Jacaranda trees in the background,
the waving, laughing, taunting us.
I see.

I see the day ahead when we laugh and taunt
the Jacaranda's for not believing in our love,
The day when we show all who mocked our love.

Proof techniques #1: Proof by Induction. This technique is used on equations
with "n" in them.  Induction techniques are very popular, even the military
used them.
SAMPLE: Proof of induction without proof of induction.
We know it's true for n equal to 1.  Now assume that it's true for every
natural number less than n.  N is arbitrary, so we can take n as large as we
want.  If n is sufficiently large, the case of n+1 is trivially equivalent, so
the only important n are n less than n.  We can take n = n (from above), so
it's true for n+1 because it's just about n. QED. (QED translates from the
Latin as "So what?")
Topics is be covered in future issues include proof by:
	Intimidation
	Gesticulation (handwaving)
	"Try it; it works"

    submitted before, within the last 2 or 3 weeks), the probability
    that it will change in a given week is .08 .  So it takes about

    light bulb?

    to pronounce the bulb dead. Scotty, after checking around, notices
    that they have no more new light bulbs, and complains that he can't
    see in the dark to tend to his engines. Kirk must make an emergency
    stop at the next uncharted planet, Alpha Regula IV, to procure a
    light bulb from the natives. Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu, and 3 red
    shirt security officers beam down. The 3 security officers are
    promptly killed by the natives, and the rest of the landing party
    is captured. Meanwhile, back in orbit, Scotty notices a Klingon ship
    approaching and must warp out of orbit to escape detection.
    Bones cures the native king who is suffering from the flu, and as
    a reward the landing party is set free and given all of the light
    bulbs they can carry. Scotty cripples the Klingon ship and warps
    back to the planet just in time to beam up Kirk et. al. The new
    bulb is inserted, and the Enterprise continues with its five year
    mission.

would be enough.  WRONG.  Many more people might be interested.  This is a
big trade!  Since it's a NEWS article, it belongs in the news.* hierarchy
as well.  If you are a news admin, or there is one on your machine, try
news.admin.  If not, use news.misc.

The Oilers are probably interested in geology, so try sci.physics.  He is
a big star, so post to sci.astro, and sci.space because they are also
interested in stars.  Next, his name is Polish sounding.  So post to
soc.culture.polish.  But that group doesn't exist, so cross-post to
news.groups suggesting it should be created.  With this many groups of
interest, your article will be quite bizarre, so post to talk.bizarre as
well.  (And post to comp.std.mumps, since they hardly get any articles
there, and a "comp" group will propagate your article further.)

You may also find it is more fun to post the article once in each group.
If you list all the newsgroups in the same article, some newsreaders will
only show the the article to the reader once!  Don't tolerate this.

Q: How many roads must a man walk down before he finds a
  damn good pub?

A: Let us define n to be the number of roads a man must travel before he
  finds the pub defined above.	We may thus define n+1 to be the first
  road which a man need not travel in order to reach a good pub.  Now the
  traversal of road n+1 is not a necessary condition, but rather a
  sufficient one; thus it is sufficient for n+2 as well.  Thus the
  statement is true for x roads where x is >= n.  Therefore, by induction,
  it is true for any finite number x greater than n.  We may conclude that
  the statement is true for sufficiently large x, or alternatively that as
  x approaches infinity, the number of roads that have been travelled
  become sufficient to have found a good pub.

soiled clothing would when addressing an audience.

Quoting court decisions is not a very useful activity when arguing with
someone who is engaging in their constitutionally protected right to
disagree with those decisions and attempting to change the environment
in which they are made.  You might believe that any legal decision by the
courts is ipso facto correct and moral, but that's not the way most folks
in this country operate.  Look at Roe v. Wade... I happen to agree with
the goals of that decision, but there are a hell of a lot of people who
don't, and they have managed to get it changed, to some extent.  Jeff is
in the same position, and can quite reasonably argue that these statistics
are irrelevant to his position.

%%
Real programmers don't use PL/I. Pl/I is for insecure momma's boys who
can't choose between Cobol and Fortran.
%%
Real programmers don't write applications programs, they

is for dullards who can't do systems programming.
%%
Real programmers don't write in APL,

Real programmers never deliver programs on Wednesdays.
Real programmers never deliver programs on the first day of any month.
%%
Real programmers never deliver programs on schedule.
Either the program is "done" in two days or it is never finished.
In any case, it is never delivered when it was scheduled.
%%
Real programmers never eat at restaurants.  If the vending machine
sells it, they eat it.	If it doesn't, they don't.  Real
programmers don't bring brown-bag lunches, either.  Recently,
real programmers discovered that popcorn was being sold in
vending machines.  Common coders discovered that it could
be popped in the microwave oven in the vending-machine room,
but real programmers use the heat escaping from the top of the CPU.
Vending machines don't sell quiche, which is why Real programmers
don't eat it.
%%
Real programmers never grow old.  They suffer from burnouts, monumental
crashes, or bugs in their DNA.

Only planners make up schedules. Only managers read them.
%%
Real programmers never work 9 to 5.  If any real programmers are

patched into working order in "only a few" 30-hour debugging sessions.
%%
Real programs don't eat cache.
%%
Real software engineers admire PASCAL for its discipline and Spartan
purity, but they find it difficult to actually program in. They don't
tell this to their friends, because they are afraid it means that they
are somehow Unworthy.
%%
Real software engineers aren't too happy about the existence of users,
either.  Users always seem to have the wrong idea about what the
implementation and verification of algorithms is all about.
%%
Real software engineers don't comment their code. The identifiers are so
mnemonic they don't have to.
%%
Real software engineers don't eat quiche.
%%
Real software engineers don't program in assembler. They become queasy
at the very thought.
%%
Real software engineers don't read dumps. They never generate them, and
on the rare occasions that they come across them, they are vaguely
amused.
%%
Real software engineers don't write applications programs, they
implement algorithms. If someone has an application that the algorithm
might help with, that's nice. Don't ask them to write the user
interface, though.
%%
Real software engineers don't write in ADA, because the standards bodies
have not quite decided on a formal spec yet.
%%
Real software engineers like C's structured constructs, but they are
suspicious of it because they have heard that it lets you get "close to
the machine."
%%
Real software engineers like writing their own compilers, preferably in
PROLOG (they also like writing them in unimplemented languages, but it
turns out to be difficult to actually RUN these).
%%
Real software engineers play tennis. In general, they don't like any
sport that involves getting hot and sweaty and gross when out of range
of a shower.  (Thus mountain climbing is Right Out.) They will
occasionally wear their tennis togs to work, but only on very sunny
days.
%%
Real software engineers regret the existence of COBOL, FORTRAN, and
BASIC.	PL/1 is getting there, but it is not nearly disciplined enough;
far too much built in functions.
%%
Real software engineers think better when playing WFF 'N' PROOF.
%%
Real software engineers write in languages that have not actually been
implemented for any machine, and for which only the formal spec (in BNF)
is available. This keeps them from having to take any machine
dependencies into account. Machine dependencies make real software
engineers very uneasy.
