lavin (Anne R LaVin):
(a fellow staff member, when asked how we might put a new startup
message in a certain third party software package, replied:)
Well, there are 3 ways, easy and hard and ridiculous:
the easy way is to sacrifice a virgin on top of the green building
on the second friday the 13th of any month without a full moon....
the hard way, well (I don't think you want to know ) first you get
a pile of electrons, and stack them in the shape of King Tut's tomb
(must be at leat two feet tall to qualify). Then carve the text you
want displayed onto a marble tablet, and carefully place the tablet
onto the pile of electrons (you wouldn't want to knock them over would
you?). Now chant the magic phrase three times while hopping up and
down on 1 foot. The message on the tablet will then appear as the
motd.
if neither of the above appeal to you, you can always try the
ridiculous: send the desired text to jstaffmember@athena, and ask that
it be put in the motd. It should appear 24 hours later...

Modern terrorists do not fully realize the effectiveness of locking a
hostage up in the back a U-Haul truck for several hours while driving
recklessly through the Himalayan Mountains with a muzak version of 'The
Ballad of John and Yoko' playing endlessly from a jury-rigged radio in
the front portion of the truck. Perhaps it is better off this way.
