 KR> Hello again Kev, how ya doing?

 Hey there, what's up?!  Okay, first of all, sorry it took so long to reply,
 but I was on holidays, and I got someone to save the mail for me, and I
 just got around to going through it now  (Sorry to disappoint ya, but
 contrary to popular belief, I AM alive! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA).  Which brings me
 to the second thing you should probably know, yes, this really is me, it's
 just under someone else's name because they downloaded the mail and then
 gave it to me.  Well, it's under his name right now, but the BBS may change
 it back to me (Kev Ondic) when I upload this, I'm not sure.  Just making
 sure you know that I am not having a multiple personality disorder thing
 right now, cuz ya know, the doc says I'm over that now.  ;-)

 KR> YES THEY ARE ALL NATURAL BLONDES, and yes, although the majority of
 KR> females in our class are blonde, most of them are relatively smart. 
 KR> And no, it is most definately not a rare occurence cos from what I've
 KR> heard, this is also true for most of the other classes. So there!  And
 KR> tell me hair colour really affects intelligence any more than skin
 KR> colour!  You realise that ages ago, they thought whites were the most
 KR> intelligent race on earth because their head span was larger....and
 KR> what happened to that theory?  Down the old drain. 

 Okay, let me say this then.  In Australia, because there's so much more sun
 than here, everybody's hair color is bleached blondish, so the smart ones
 are actually a different color (okay, okay, maybe I'm reaching there).  Heh,
 actually, I don't have a problem with blondes (in fact I rather like 'em..
 heh), but I have noticed that the bottom 2% of the population on the
 intelligence scale seems to be blonde females; there doesn't really seem to
 be a pattern at the top end though.  As for the skin color theory, well, I am
 by no means racist, BUT there is scientific evidence to suggest that
 orientals are the most intelligent, followed by whites, followed by negros.
 Which does kind of make sense when you look at the situation in the world
 today..  Most technology comes from Japan, the "average" guys are us North
 Americans and Eurpoeans (and, of course you wonderful Aussies), and the
 negroes are generally most underprivileged group of people in the world.

 KR> What?  How stupid!  I love the Far Side, and yes I have seen the tenth
 KR> anniversary edition, it looks cool, but I havent got around to
 KR> buying/borrowing/reading it yet.......Wow!  I thought I was the only
 KR> Far Side fan for miles around!

Well, when you get right down to it, I AM more than a few miles away from ya.
heheh.  The 10th Anniversary edition is a must, he talks about where the
ideas came from, how the cartoon evolved, printing bloopers, hate mail he's
gotten, etc..  Kinda shows you how warped that guy really is to think of
things like he does. heh.

 KO>Hey, violence is not a problem; just make sure it's a kinder,
 KO>gentler violence.

 KR> I dont think there is such thing.  Sorry to break it to you... BUT all
 KR> good things must come to an end, and that includes this letter.  So
 KR> goodbye till the next check for mail.. KELLY

No such thing?  Sure there is, just watch an Arnold Schwarzennger interview
on Terminator 2.  heh.  The "Kinder, gentler" thing has become quite a catch
phrase around here, quickly gaining ground on "I've fallen and I can't get
up", which I'm sure has even made it's way down to you guys..?

Catch ya later!

=-KO->

... It wasn't me, I didn't do it, and besides it was an accident
