alchen (Alice Chen):
To not drop any classes, although that's in serious jeopardy.
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
Well everyday my confusion grows

Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night,
God said, "Let Newton be," and all was light.
It did not last; the devil howling "Ho!
Let Einstein be!" restored the status quo.

brjordan (Benjamin R Jordan):
Yeah, right. What's the use in wasting time to create such a thing? That's just like giving someone false hope and expectation. Don't PLAN anything. Just let things happen. If I could tell you right now what I thought happiness would mean ten or fifteen years from now, it would be a quiet home in the woods (yes, in the South), alot of trees, a dog to fetch my morning paper, a wife to brew my morning coffee, and two or three kids to rake the leaves and play catch with. I guess I'd have to have a job, too. I'd be a teacher. I'd teach Biology in a small private school somewhere, where all the kids were like mine. I'd have enough money to be happy, because that's all anyone needs. I'd play golf about three or four times a week with my dad. And as soon as my kids were old enough, they'd play with me. They'd play tennis, too, so we could all go out and have fun together as a family. Family -- that's happiness...

If I cry:
Ideal, ideal, ideal,
Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge,
Bangbang, Bangbang, Bangbang,
I have given a fair account of progress, law, morality, and all the
other fine qualities that different very intelligent people have
discussed in so many books, in order to conclude in the end that, all
the same, everyone has danced after his own personal bangbang, and that
he is right because of his bangbang, satisfaction of sickly curiosity;
private chimes for unexplainable needs; bath; financial difficulties;
stomach with repercussions of life; authority of the mystical baton
formulated in a bouquet of phantom-orchestra with mute bows, greased by
philters with a base of animal ammonia. With a blue quizzing-glass of an
angel they have dug into the innards for two cents' worth of unanimous
gratitude.

Things I'm doing:
0) Hacking 386BSD. It works! And it already *has* networking code...
1) Hacking Linux. (It installed cleanly on my 486/40, now to start
building things....) I may need another drive for this, BSD doesn't
do partitions so it gets the whole drive to itself.
2) planning an IKEA run. Or better, getting someone *else* to :-)
Long term...
1) get a machine up on the 44.193.xxx.xxx net. (Ok, *real* long
term...)

Sworn to be true, but probably apocryphal:
In the mid 80's a cruiser of the U.S. navy put in to port in Catahegna,
Spain, for a week's shore leave. (Well, leave for the crew, not the cruiser.)
The first evening, the captain was more than a little surprised to receive the
following letter from an upper-class Spanish lady:
Dear Captain,
On Thursday, it will be my daughter's coming of age party. I would
like you to send four well-mannered, rich, unmarried officers. They
should arrive at 8 p.m. - One last point: no Jews - we don't like Jews.
Sure enough, at 8 on Thursday, the lady heard a rap at the door, which she
opened to find, in dress uniform, four exquisitely-mannered, wealthy, single,
BLACK officers. Her lower jaw hit the floor, but pulling herself together she
got out "There must be some mistake".
"Madam", said the first officer, "Captain Cohen doesn't make mistakes."

kagraves (Kenneth A Graves):
Question 3: The arithmetic-IF (three-way) statement is in the Fortran
language because:
a) IF statements having higher prime numbers of branches (five, seven, and
so on) were found hard to implement on binary computers
b) It used to be the only way for people to write useful Fortran programs
c) It more closely models human expectations than the logical-IF statement,
since at most intersections, a driver has three choices as to which
direction to take
d) It makes writing applications for Windows 3.0 easier

sethg (Seth A. Gordon):
From American Demographics, Nov. 1991
Psychographic marketing techniques helped Raid roach spray
marketers discover that the reason low-income Southern women
were the heaviest users of roach spray was that "a lot of their
feelings about the roach were very similar to the feelings that
they had about the men in their lives," said the advertising
executive on the account. They said the roach, like the man in
their life, "only comes around when he wants food." The act of
spraying roaches and seeing them die was satisfying to this
frustrated, powerless group.

Most towns and cities have a parade. My experience in Dublin is that
very few people go to these parades except small children and those
unfortunate enough to possess them. Other people have better ways to
spend a public holiday than standing around in the rain watching a bunch
of boring floats go by.

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.
