bamf (David Y Oh):
More evidence that men are stupid.
"This issue was addressed in a novel way by Russelll Clark and
Elaine Hatfield of the University of Hawaii. They designed a study in
which college students were approached by an attractive member of the
opposite sex who posed one of three questions after a brief
introduction: 'Would you go on a date with me tonight?' "Would you go
back to my apartment with me tonight?' or 'Would you have sex with me
tonight?'
Of the women who were approached, 50 percent agreed to the
date, 6 percent agreed to go to the apartment and none agreed to have
sex. Many women found the sexual request from a virtual stranger to
be odd or insulting. Of the men approached, 50 precent agreed to the
date, 69 percent agreed to go back to the woman's apartment, and 75
percent agreed to have sex. In contrast to women, many men found the
sexual request flattering. Those few men who declined were apologetic
about it, citing a fiancee or an unavoidable obligation that
particular evening. Apparently, men are willing to solve the problem
of partner number by agreeing to have sex with virtual strangers."
An excerpt from "The Strategies of Human Mating", in @i(American
Scientist), Vol. 82, No. 3, May-June 1984, pp. 238-249.

I plan to pass.
What else I plan
I plan not to have planned
until the plan has passed.
That's the plan, man.

``I'm a firm believer that no one should get hurt on a set,
I've been very fortunate, I haven't gotten hurt yet.''
-- Actor Brandon Lee
five days before being killed in a
freak accident involving a defective blank
``No More Peony Envy!''
-- From a flyer distributed by a gardener here
``In a stunning display of `beating swords into ploughshares,' a major
company announced that they would stop making firearms and heavy weapons for
the US military. They said they would instead concentrate on making firearms
and heavy weapons for the US citizenry.''
-- Heard in the closing credits of _Prisoners_Of_Gravity_
A public tv program about sci fi stuff, it shows on
TVOntario (cable 35 in Montreal) at 11:30pm Thursdays.
And believe it or not they have a net address:

``My friends, each of you is a single cell in the great body of the state. Let
each and every cell rejoice! For today we celebrate the first glorious
anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for
the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology, where each worker
may bloom secure from the pests of very contradictory truths. Our unification
of thought is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are
one people. With one will. One resolve. One cause. Our enemies shall talk
themselves to death. And we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall
prevail. ''
-- Microsoft, err I mean Big Brother / Big Blue
in the 1984 Macintosh commercial.
``Wouldn't the sentence `I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish
and And and And and Chips in my Fish-And-Chips sign' have been clearer
if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and
and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and
and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?''
``Emacs is not an editor. Emacs is a way of thinking about the world, and
as such is a way of thinking about editors. The process of editing is Emacs,
but Emacs is more than the process of editing. When you ask what Emacs does,
you are asking a question with no answer, because Emacs doesn't do, it is
done to. Emacs just is. ... I hope this makes things clearer.''

I am lost somewhere I do not know
This is not the place I meant to go
And they told me before it was so
It was miles from nowhere
I was never meant to be alone
If I make it back I'll stay at home
Always told me that I should not roam
I'd be miles from nowhere
Miles and miles left to go
Miles from anything we know
You took your love away from me
And left me here for all to see
Never mind the pain inside
You're gone and I am miles from nowhere
Now you tell me that I should not hate
Just resign myself to such a fate
And they told me that I was too late
I was miles from nowhere
Miles and miles left to go
Miles of sky and road below
You took your love away from me
And left me here for all to see
Never mind the pain inside
You're gone and I am miles from nowhere
I am lost somewhere I do not know
This is not the place I meant to go
And they told me before it was so
It was miles from nowhere
Miles from nowhere
-Smithereens
Miles From Nowhere

therese (Therese):
Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as it's child
