No, Biff designs bridges for Pennsylvania Engineering District 12-0.  You seem
to be quite misinformed.

1. I am not wasting my time here, for I only spend 2 to 3 hours a day here.

2. When I am here, 95% of the time spent in here is devoted to assisting other
users work with the system.  alt.flame posting requires little time.

In that job, I (and I ALONE) was responsible for handling over $1,000,000 of
state funds per week at a highway construction job.  My responsibility as an
intern was far greater than any other regular employee's responsibilities
could ever come close to.  Also far greater than any responsbility you've ever
had.  Your only responsibility is that of controlling waves of fat cells.

My neighbors have no objection whatsoever to my residing in State College.
Your inquiry is irrelevant, anyway.

I will stay out, especially since you are there.  You're not the only loser
there.  Along with you there are all of the Astros, all of the Oilers, and all
of the Rockets.  And just when did Rice University's football team have a
winning record?  Would it in fact be never?  I thought so.  And Houston is not
even worthy of having a pro hockey team.  You couldn't support the Aeros in
the '70s, so why should you have a pro hockey team there now?

Perhaps Center County, whereever that is, is a wasteland (given that it is a
wasteland, as you claim, it is probably in New Jersey).  But Centre County is
among the best places to live in the Northeastern United States.

No, *that* is why K e n and I are the most informed individuals anywhere.
Lobotomized parrots and AI programs are quite irrelevant.

Right, because information doesn't bite me in the ass and walk away, like it
does for you.  All information becomes a permanent resident of my brain, for I
have the intelligence of a genius.

Because that organization does not exist.

In which case I'd never want to find it.  Another week and a half and I'm on
my way to North Carolina, which, unlike Texas, does not resemble hell.
