celine (Hagbard Celine):
How to Win at Nethack:
1) Don't play. This is a big win, as you'll actually get some work done.
2) Speed and invisibility are the key. They'll get you as far as the
hives and the graveyards, and they'll allow you to clear them,
earning you royal jelly (str++) and wraith corpses (lvl++).
3) Never mess with monster with special attacks that you're not
currently immune to, esp orange dragons <sigh>.
4) Read the nethack hints file. Learn it.
5) If it's not too late - go back and reread step one.

Kerberos; also spelled Cerberus "n. The watch dog of Hades, whose duty
it was to guard the entrance against whom or what does not clearly
appear; . . . is known to have had three heads. . ."
Ambrose Bierce, The Enlarged Devil's Dictionary
*********************************************************************
The scientists had another idea which was totally at odds with the
benefits to be derived from the standardization of weights and measures;
they adapted to them the decimal system, on the basis of the metre as a
unit; they suppressed all complicated numbers. Nothing is more contrary
to the organization of the mind, of the memory, and of the
imagination... The new system of weights and measures will be a
stumbling block and the source of difficulties for several
generations... It's just tormenting the people with trivia!!!

A sympathetic Scot summed it all up very neatly in the remark, 'You
should make a point of trying every experience once, excepting incest
and folk-dancing.'

Subject: Biblical computing
It's a well known fact that computing devices such as the abacus were invented
thousands of years ago. But it's not well known that the first use of a
common computer protocol occured in the Old Testament.
This, of course, was when Moses aborted the Egyptians' process with a
control-sea...

there was a tv show on recently where a lot of people were intensively

BUT HE DROWNS HEROICALLY
In Justice Inc. (Hero Games), a heroic crimefighter will drown after
about 6 minutes underwater -- but a scrawny weakling can list nine and a
half.

therese (Therese):
Why are these women here dancing on their own?
Why is there this sadness in their eyes?
Why are the soldiers here
Their faces fixed like stone?
I can't see what it is that they despise
They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Their anguish is unsaid
They're dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
They're dancing with their husbands
They dance alone. They dance alone.

Our Program who art in Memory
Hello be thy Name.
Thy Operating System come.
Thy Commands be done at the Printer as it is on the Screen.
Give us this day our daily Data,
And forgive us our I/O errors
As we forgive those whose logic circuits are faulty.
Lead us not into frustration, and deliver us from Power Surges.
For Thine is the Algorithm,
The Application,
And the Solution
Looping forever and ever.
Return.
