Hi.  I don't usually subscribe to rec.humor but a friend
of mine is looking for a list of lightbulb jokes.  Is
there an FAQ on this?  OR could someone e-mail me a list?
Please don't waste readers time by posting dreadfully old
jokes all over again, because I probably won't be checking
rec.humor on netnews.

THANKS for your help and suggestions.

I think I like it.  I have no trub. with females, their fine, ok, let
them do what they want.  But "feminist" attitude annoys me and I have
no sympathy with "femminists" at all.

I'll laught at my friends AND enemies for whatever reason if I like.
Enemies do NOT get special treatment unless they have a knife or a

No, the base is the ratio between the values of adjacent digit positions
of a number.  
For any base b, the number wxyz means
    ((w*b + x)*b + y)*b + z, 
or alternately, 
    w*b^3 + x*b^2 + y*b^1 + z*b^0.

So, in base -2, 11011 is 
    1*(-2)^4 + 1*(-2)^3 + 0*(-2)^2 + 1*(-2)^1 + 1*(-2)^0 
or
    16 + (-8) + 0 + (-2) + 1 = 7, as above.  

Bases need not even be integers: one of my favorites is sqrt(2) * I  
(sqrt(2) * J for any engineers out there :-).

In Zurich, I face a lot of problems similar to the ones Jonathan faces
in Berlin (Hi Jonathan, yes, I'm still around, new address, new
language, same person), but with a few notable differences.  On the
nights when we charge money to dance, we routinely get about 30
dancers, many of whom are first (and last) timers.  We seem to find a
large number of people willing to try anything once, but only a small
group (about 14-16, like Jonathan's group) who are interested in
dedicating any time to it.  It seems that by charging money, we are
taken more seriously, and more people come.  For the free dances, they
seem to feel that they could come anytime, it must not be special
tonight, since it is free.

But we have a much larger English-speaking community (the scottish
country dancers throw a ball every year, and their overlap with our
group is zero) than you do in Berlin - even the German speakers who
come to our dances insist that I call in English (maybe that has to do
with how badly I speak German!).

What to do?  I don't know - our core have already brought their
friends along who might be interested.

Combine a demo with an audience participation section.  I'd do an
easy sicillian circle to eliminate end effects, if I were you.

Some friends of mine in North Carolina were wondering if there are any
Scandinavian Christmas/dance parties in the Eastern U.S. this year.  Please
post or e-mail any leads to me and I'll pass it along to them.
P.S.  I'm not a computer guru, but I THINK these are my various addresses:

A group of us are thinking about organizing an IFD group. None of us are
students, but some of us are connected with a the College. If we meet on
campus what times tend to be most successful? Weekends as an alternative
social activity? Or other weekday times so we won't confict with all
those wonderful parties?
