a fish needs a bicycle.

Junior Lab is over!
"Soon we'll be out, amid the cold world's strife,
Soon we'll be sliding down the razor blade of life. (ugh...)
But, as we go our sordid separate ways,
We shall ne'er forget thee, our golden college days."
-Tom Lehrer,
"Bright College Days"

"Relations between the sexes are so complicated that the only
way you can tell if two members of the set are 'going together'
is if they are married. Then, almost certainly, they are not."

solo26 (Keith M Swartz):
Look, here's the deal: I'm a first-year grad student. I was 6A with
Digital, but they turned out to be racist reverse-discriminating bastards,
so I quit. I am NOT graduating this year. Why? Because I don't have a
thesis. No, not that I didn't finish it, I don't HAVE one. Why? Because
I'm not interested in anything. What will it be? A masters and bachelors
together. When do I leave? 93 if I'm lucky. 94 if I'm not. Never if
this keeps up. Thank God for the drums.
Now stop asking me.

Subject: Typos? They've been around for centuries! (Re: Ellison, RISKS-13.42)
Well, you sure don't need a computer to make typos.
1562 - Geneva bible Matt. v, 9 reads:
"Blessed are the placemakers: for they shall be called the children
of God." ^^^^^^^^^^^ (oughta be peacemakers)
1653 - Cambridge printer screws up I Cor. vi, 9:
"know ye not that the unrighteous shall inherit the Kingdom of God?
1691 - Barker & Lewis in London printed a bible with the seventh commandment,
"Thou shalt commit adultery."
(they were fined 300 pounds and went out of business)
1702 - London firm prints bible with Psalms cxix, 161:
"Printers have persecuted me" (should be "Princes..."
1716 - First bible printed in Ireland has John v, 14 as:
"sin on more" (instead of sin no more)
Things might have improved since then. But maybe not...
[No. Now it would be "Blessed are the pacemakers." By the way, Pete
Mellor <pm@cs.city.ac.uk> sent in a further collection, not included here,
but suggested that this subject be moved to rec.humor. I agree with him.
No more typos unless really RISKS relevant, e.g., life critical. PGN]
