URBANA, Ill. (UPI) -- Sunday marks the birthday of Hal, the infamous
computer in the movie ``2001: A Space Odyssey,'' in Urbana and a
professor says technology is lagging behind Arthur C. Clarke's vision of
a thinking machine.
...
HAL originally was supposed to be called ATHENA and have a female
voice but Kubrick reportedly changed his mind and opted for HAL.
-----
Think... we were this close to working on Project HAL as the latest
in academic distributed computing.

enigma (CDE):
"Afterwards I learned that the best way to manage some kinds of painful
thoughts, is to dare them to do their worst; to let them tear and gnaw at
your hear till they are tired; and you find you still have a residue of
life thry cannot kill." Phantastes, George MacDonald

jcbourne (Julie Bourne):
Babe I'm leaving / I'll say it once again / And somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're trying to forget / If only for a while
'Cause I'll be lonely without you / And I'll need your love to see me through
But please believe me / My heart is in your hands / 'Cause I'll be missing you
("Babe", Styx)

Companionship, partnership, mutual reassurance, someone to laugh with
and grieve with, loyalty that accepts foibles, someone to touch, someone
to hold your hand -- these things are "marriage," and sex is but the
icing on the cake. (Lazarus Long)

I was bored last week and a thought occured to me. Why is it that there is a
government bureau which oversees alcohol, tobacco, and firearms? I was bored
enough to call up the regional office of said bureau... I asked the man who
answered the phone "What wine goes best with an M-16?" He did his best to be
helpful, however. "That depends. What are you smoking?"

therese (Therese):
One day in a nuclear age
they may understand our rage
They build machines that they can't control
And bury the waste in a great big hole
Power was to become cheap and clean
Grimy faces were never seen
But deadly for twelve thousand years is
carbon fourteen
We work the black seam together

Dream of the Blue Turtles
