kagraves (Kenneth A Graves):
"[Parkinson's Law: work expands to fill the time available for its completion.]
Let us therefore add a coda to Parkinson's law. Because data
expands to fill the hard disks available, and officials proliferate to
process the data available, technology is the ally of bureaucratic
expansion, not its foe."
Leader in the 8/8/92 Economist

Julie Roberts gives another fine performance in the poignant story of a
beautiful nurse who falls in love with the terminally ill young man
(Campbell Scott) she is caring for. As his health deteriorates, Scott
encourages Roberts to pursue a relationship with the handsome neighbor who
has befriended them both. A touching drama about love, loss, and hope.

[from rec.humor.funny]
Paraphrased from the July 1, 1992 issue of "The Chronicle
of Higher Education."
"Women's-Studies Group, Hoping to Heal Wounds, Finds
More Conflict"
"This year's annual meeting of the National Women's Studies
Association was supposed to heal fractures that crippled the
organization...
"Within half an hour of the opening of the conference ... the keynote
speaker had offended lesbian women by making what were described as
heterosexist remarks. Other women complained that a white women
should not have been selected to start [the] conference..."
Then meeting organizers apologized "to Jewish conferees who had been
inconvenienced by the Friday-night session...
"Later that evening, some 'eco-feminists' ... complained that every
meal served at the conference included meat.
"Finally, one conferee complained that participants should be asked
to forgo hair spray and perfume, which allergy sufferers might find
irritating."
Said Ms. Wilma Boddie-Beaman of NWSA's steering committee "'If I had
my wish, we would stop comapring ourselves to other organizations.
We're different.'"

suresh (SURESH ADINA):
1) To find a job preferably in the Boston area.
2)To find a friend who:
Is so special
Is so dear
Lends a hand or a buck or an ear
Knows you are gloomy and asks "what's the matter?"
Doesn't mind if you're thinner or fatter
Makes you cheerful
Makes you glad
Always tells you that your hair is not that bad
Hopes you are happy and things about you
And comes up with crazy things like this. :-)
If you are one of them, then we are friends.
3) To try Solicit Physics and get the Chemistry working for
Biological needs ( a very scientific approach).
******************************
Life can be short or long
Life can be right or wrong
It's upto you
Make the right decision!!
******************************
Let somebody know you're caring
Take time to listen to
What they want so much to tell you,
For the gentle folks are few.
You are not so high and mighty,
That you cannot spare a smile,
For you never know when you might
Need somebody after-while.
*****************************
I have heard that it all depends
Upon your point of view
The happiness you get from life,
And how things look to you.
And the longer I am living,
I've realy come to see,
That is just as true a fact,
As anything could be.
**********************************************************************

I smell good all day because I sell perfumes. So if anytime you need a
good perfume, you know who to contact.
**********************************************************************
Now for a little pun:
Watson(to Sherlock Holmes): What kind of school did you go to, to
become such a good detective?
Holmes: Elementary Mr Watson, elementary.
*****************************
Deep thought:
All the land is connected. You only have to be able to walk under the
water as well as under the air.
