amgreene (Andrew Marc Greene):
We're tiny, we're toony, we're all a little loony.
And in this cartoony we're invading your TV!
We're comic dispensers, we crack up all the censors.
Our Tiny Toon adventures give a dose of comedy.
So, here is Acme Acres. It's a whole wide world apart.
Our Home-Sweet-Home, it stands alone, a cartoon work of art.
The scripts were rejected. Expect the unexpected.
Our Tiny Toon adventures are about to start.
They're furry, they're funny. They're Babs and Buster Bunny.
Montana Max has money. Elmira is a pain!
There's Hampton and Plucky, and Dizzy Devil's ducky,
Furball's unlucky, and Go-go is insane!
At Acme Looniversity we earn our toon degree.
The teachers have been getting laughs since 1933.
We're tiny, we're toony, we're all a little loony,
It's Tiny Toon Adventures; come and join the fun!
(And now our song is done.)

ayshames (Arlene Shames):
Mission Accomplished! My IBM thinks its a VT100, and Athena believes
it.
Now, back to this B-school nonsense......

brlewis (Bruce R Lewis):
I thought the Patriots were out of the playoffs, but somebody told me
they had 6 interceptions the other day. Who were they playing?

epeisach (Ezra Peisach):
Schroedinger's cat's a mystery cat, he illustrates the laws;
The complicated things he does have no apparent cause.
He baffles the determinist, and drives him to despair,
For when they try to pin him down, //the quantum cat's not there!//
Schroedinger's cat's a mystery cat, he's given to random decisions;
His mass is slightly altered by a cloud of virtual kittens.
The vacuum fluctuations print his traces in the air,
But if you try to find him, //the quantum cat's not there!//
Schroedinger's cat's a mystery cat, he's very small and light,
And if you try to pen him in, he tunnels out of sight.
So when the cruel scientist confined him in a box
With poison-capsules, triggered by bizzare atomic clocks,
He wasn't alive, he wasn't dead, or half of each: I swear
That when they fixed his eigenstate, //he simply wasn't there!//
- John Lowell
Old Possum's Book of Quantum Vivisection

fmmoore (Festus Moore):
This is specifically for you Dipesh (since you're probably the only one
I know who'll try to read it.) I'll find out how you're doing this, if
I have to infiltrate bu-pub's root directory and maybe bring it down in
the process of my tinkering (oops! Heh, heh, heh.)

The emancipation of women, the achievement of full equality
between the sexes, is one of the most important, though less
acknowledged prerequisites of peace. The denial of such equality
perpetrates an injustice against one half of the world's population
and promotes in men harmful attitudes and habits that are carried from
the family to the workplace, to political life, and ultimately to
international relations. There are no grounds, moral, practical, or
biological, upon which such denial can be justified. Only as women
are welcomed into full partnership in all fields of human endeavour
will the moral and psychological climate be created in which
international peace can emerge.

Favorite Quote:
"Bits and pieces, bits and pieces.."
Favorite Song:
Be still my beating heart
It would be better to be cool
It's not time to be open just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
Or I'll be taken for a fool
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughs that plague me so
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
Restore my broken dreams
Shattered like a falling glass
I'm not ready to be broken just yet
A lesson once learned is so hard to forget
Be still my beating heart
You must learn to stand your ground
It's not healthy to run at this pace
The blood runs so red to my face
I've been to every single book I know
To soothe the thoughts that plague me so
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
Never to be wrong
Never to make promises that break
It's like singing in the wind
Or writing on the surface of a lake
And I wriggle like a fish caught on dry land
And I struggle to avoid any help at hand
I sink like a stone that's been thrown in the ocean
My logic has drowned in a sea of emotion
Stop before you start
Be still my beating heart
- Sting (of course!!)
