lwvanels (Lucien Van Elsen):
In the African country of Benin, Mathew B'Yoa was recently fined for
destroying the country's air force. Who is B'Yoa? An international
terrorist? An antigovernment rebel? No, not quite. He's an avid golfer.
B'Yoa had just teed off when Benin's four-plane air force made a low-level
flyby over the golf course. B'Yoa's ball crashed through the cockpit of one
plane, sending it crashing into the other three. All four planes were
destroyed. And you thought golf was boring..

tytso (Theodore Y. Ts'o):
``The NeXT machine was worth waiting for. If you buy one, you'll have
that opportunity, too. You'll get to wait, whether you're waiting for
the window to catch up with with your mouse, or waiting for a program
to load and run. And, for some applications, this is no minor wait
that lets you take a sip of coffee. No, on the NeXT machine, some
waits allow you to go down to Columbia and speak with Juan Valdez
yourself.''
