   Oh, by the way, you'll have to eat 366 apples for a leap year - that's every

The sky smiled.

The horses tore at their tack.  Steam, gravel, and mucous
sprayed behind them.  The box bounced on the floor.  It
shined. It was old and worn, but never opened.

With my good eye I followed the horizon; it leapt as in
glee at the sport.  The dark trees symbolized growing
danger:  unstumbled-upon secrets; juvenile mistakes hidden
poorly by clumsy hands.

Patience and anger warred within my coat.  I would

Uh oh, now you've done it. Now all the Americans are going to drone
on about how Britain can possibly call itself a civilised country when
people have to pay to vote.

Believe me, a lot of Americans think that's what the poll tax is about.

When really it's about paying the IRA to allow a citizen
to continue living with their kneecaps.

well, in principle, yes.  However, the hepnet.xxx newsgroups do seem to be the
lowest traffic newsgroups on the net.  Is this because there are few postings
to start with, or (as I suspect) news has not really become part of HEP
culture?  A random, unscientific survey of colleagues reveals: a) many HEPpers
don't even *know* about netnews, or b) they know about it but don't know how to
access it, or c) it's not even implemented at their site.

So we have the old chicken and egg.  If HEPNET-L is not posted to a newsgroup,
newsgroup activity won't increase.  But since the activity is low, it may not
be worth someone's time looking after postings.

It's articles like this that remind me that one should read

I'm going back into the kitchen Dr. MaCntNes (or whatever

	While your point is very arguable with
   respect to starting smoking, when it comes to
   quitting there's a lot more involved than the
   intelligence or stupidity of the person involved,
   Kent.  If it were that simple, there wouldn't
   be so many intelligent people who smoke.

No.  By definition, people who smoke are stupid.  Or do we include the
intersection of otherwise intelligent people and stupid people as a
new spin on the word intelligent and not part of the class stupid?

	How so?  History is riddled with brilliant
   but self-destructive people.  One even finds
   oneself wondering how such people can ever avoid
   self-destructive tendencies in the face of the
   overwhelming greed, avarice, and stupidity
   they encounter at every turn.

Hmm.  I think I am on to something here.  If "The wages of Stupidity
are Death" then does it follow that dead people are stupid?  History
is riddled with stupid dead people!

Yes!  And smoking is just a tool for more quickly exposing the
stupidity of Man.

Again, this time in big letters and quotes:

 "SMOKING IS JUST A TOOL FOR MORE QUICKLY EXPOSING THE STUPIDITY OF MAN."
