Brian Keith is dead.  this group is clearly for discussion of

If someone can explain this to me, I'll be eternally grateful.

We were sleepless and bored Friday night.  We went channel-
surfing to see if we could find anything worth watching.  We 
watched a Spanish-language dubbed Bugs Bunny.  We surfed some
more.  Channel 58 looked interesting.  It had a mock space-ship
control panel, with pulsing bands of color, and a screen showing
a fractal landscape fly-by.  The screen switched to spiralling
rotating abstract patterns.

"Lance!" I said.  "Somebody beat you to it!  Somebody else is
using public-access cable to show all-night trip videos.  Find
out who this is.  We have to write to them."

Lance looked it up in the cable book.  "It's the Monitor Channel," 
he said.  "Satellite."

Then it showed the NASA Mars fly-by animation.  Then it showed
what must have been somebody's thesis work, on the magnetic
fields surrounding a star.  "They stole all of this!"  Lance
said.  "It's all SIGGRAPH stuff."

The screen switched to a star field rushing out, with reddish
cloudy stuff over it.  The soundtrack changed to a voice-over.
The voices were garbled, but sometimes they said things like this:
    "We're coming for you, Bob Glurblemumfle."
    "We're coming for you, Tom Cruise."
    "We're coming for you, Michael Jordan."
    "We're coming for you, Sally Gleeblewobble."

The last names were garbled, except for those two.  For a while,
I thought it must have been Negativland.  But it was too NewAgey
and not political enough to have been Negativland.

We got annoyed with the soundtrack after it started doing long
recitations from Frederic Brown, and put on Eno instead.
Eventually we got bored with 3d computer animation, and surfed
again.  We found the Cable Co-op news channel, and learned that
the Monitor Channel was the Xtian Science Monitor, and it had
gone out of business.  

Okay.  So it's been replaced by something even more FUCKING BIZARRE 
than the Christian Scientists.  I have no clue if this replacement 
is specific to Palo Alto Cable Co-op, or if it's national.  Net-land
is just going to have to clue me in.  Two days later, it's STILL
showing the same stuff.  Yow.

Fuck.  I thought it was also a leap year, because it IS divisible by
400.  So 2000 will be a leap year even though 1900 wasn't.

I didn't feel like trying to grok everything MJD said, but it seemed
to mean that 2000 would NOT be a leap year.  Is this correct?

I always found that hairy pits on a woman is a bonus multiplier.  If
she is sexy it makes her more so.  If she's not then her score goes in
the other direction.

No!  No!  Not according to what I saw in the Weekly World News!

It seems that about every two weeks, one of the tabloids runs a story on
an Elvis sighting.  My personal favorite was:

  "I died, went to heaven, and met Elvis!"

I'm convinced that these guys who write these stories must get really 
drunk and have one great time writing them.  All you need are a few
ingredients:

Elvis, Jimmy Hoffa, Pregnant Grannies, Space Aliens, Hitler, etc.

Here are some I'm making up:

"8 Month Pregnant Grannie marries 3 headed Space Alien"

"Jimmy Hoffa and Hitler found in Serbian concentration camp"

One day, I'm going to write a program that generates these at random...

I realized once that a sure-fire way to tell is:  if you consciously
wonder whether or not you're dreaming, or if you think about being in a
dream, then you're not dreaming.

At the time, I really liked the hidden asymmetry; even though it seems
like a symmetric yes-or-no test, it's a symmetric yes-or-no test that
always yields `no'.  It gives you an instant, coprrect, yes-or-no answer
every time you apply it, so in some sense it's a perfect test, except it
always yields `no'.  I was startled by the epistemological peculiarity
of the idea.

Then I woke up.

2000 is a century year.  1700, 1800, 1900 were not, it is time for one.

Important trivium:  every UNIX(X)* program that uses the famous

#define	isleap(x) ((x%4)==0 && ((x%100) != 0 || (x%400) == 0))

on UNIX(X) time_t values (32-bit integer seconds since 00:00 Jan 1 1970 GMT)
is wasting its time because there are no years within the 32-bit UNIX(X)
time span for which

#define isleap(x) ((x%4)==0)

is incorrect.

Congratulations, Roger.  The highlighted passages show you got pretty
much everything right this time, except maybe for subtleties like the
overall tone of Till Poser's post:

> Followup-To: talk.bizarre,alt.nazi.till.poser,alt.soc.culture.german

He's not really a Nazi.  I suspect he doesn't even hate you or anything.
I consider his post "informative, helpful and mildly amused about rdc"
rather than "fascist and in favor of revoking rdc's accounts."

Aside from that, you should know that lots of young Germans of your or
my age simply aren't Nazis.  Their view of their country's dark past
is the same as yours or mine.  And the ones who are Neo-Nazis?  Well,
those exist everywhere, including in this country.

I haven't cringed this bad since I saw Oprah ask
Steve Martin to do his "Wild and Crazy Guy" schtick
just last month.

personally, i would find it even more useful
if t.b could find something more bizarre and
less demeaning to all involved to discuss.
after all, anybody who has even a chance of
being good in bed knows that good sex is too
subjective to be quantified.
