"Have some wine," the March Hare said in an engouraging tone.
Alice looked all round the table, but there was nothing on it
but tea. "I don't see any wine," she remarked.
"There isn't any," said the March Hare.

From: boyd@necisa.ho.necisa.oz.au (Boyd Roberts)
Weird things happen. Just chmod 0 /dev/tty and watch your UNIX
machine go absolutely ga-ga on you, and _none_ of tools that break
will say anything of any worth about the problem. Presumably because
they were written with the philosophy that states `X will ever happen'.

Thoughts for the day:
Warning: tires from Shell can be hazardous to your health. On
Wednesday night, the tire on my car blew while I was traveling
home on 93. I managed to get home using the spare tire. On
Friday, I was preparing to visit my sister in Maine. Since
I did not want to travel the 1.5 hours on the spare tire, I
went to Magazine Beach Shell to purchase a new tire. For
$68 + change, I got a new tire that blew out 30 miles down
the road (with a hole the size of a softball in the sidewall
of that steelbelted tire). Well, I ended up using the spare
to get to Maine. The next day, I got two tires for $79 from
Montgomery Ward. Those tires have lated 100 miles so far...

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To speak of many things.
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax,
Of cabbages and kings,
And why the sea is boiling hot,
and whether pigs have wings."
Plan? Plan? Who needs plans? I don't have no stinking plan....

Tech is Hell.
THIS LIFE IS A TEST. IT IS ONLY A TEST. HAD THIS BEEN
A REAL LIFE, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS ON
WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO.
This is your brain.
This is your brain on drugs.
This is your brain on drugs with a side order of bacon.
Any questions?

sethg (Seth A. Gordon):
From Joyce Lain Kennedy's employment column in the Dallas Morning News,
an "ad which reportedly appeared in a paper in Fairbanks, Alaska:"
Part-time engineering or business student to follow illiterate steel
superintendent and do his paperwork. This man is too valuable to
fire and too old to teach. Extremely patient person required.
Should be over 19 years old as duties may require going into local
bars. Applicants should be ugly and mean.

wchuang (Mithrandir):
Think of me,
think of me fondly,
when we've said
goodbye.
Remember me
once in a while -
please promise me
you'll try.
When you find
that, once
again, you long
to take your heart back
and be free -
if you
ever find
a moment,
spare a thought
for me...
We never said
our love
was evergreen,
or as unchanging
as the sea -
but if
you can still
remember,
stop and think
of me...
Think of all the things
we've shared and seen -
don't think about the things
which might have been...
Think of me,
think of me waking,
silent and
resigned.
Imagine me,
trying too hard
to put you
from my mind.
Recall those days,
look back
on all those times,
think of the things
we'll never do -
there will
never be
a day, when
I won't think
of you...
