Gads.  Talk about a story mutating into your proverbial UL.

This was said by Clayton Williams, a Texas millionaire and stereotypical
"good ole boy" who was running for Governer at the time.  What was so
bad about it was he said it to a bunch of reporters and thought nothing
of the remark at the time (obviously).  The statement was made as an
analogy to some bad weather which was threatening at the time -- "Weather
is like rape: when it is inevitable, it's best to just lay back and 
relax and wait it out."  That's paraphrased, but it's the gist of it.

A lot of people had a *fit* over this which poor Clayton couldn't 
understand since he thought it an innocent remark (that must have been 
one of the worst jobs one could have -- to be a PR person for Clayton).

It was this remark and many other faux pas which cost him the race.  
He was leading in the polls for much of the campaign and was thought
to be a shoo-in.  He lost to Anne Richards -- a woman.

Um, that turns out not to always be the case . . .

Yes, especially on older engines, two valves per cylinder is the norm, but
on high-performance, high-rev engines that number is often increased to four
valves per cylinder, and there are some engines that go even higher. I have
heard of motorcycle engines that go as high as *8* valves per cylinder, but
that was more of a "look what I can do" design by Honda than a true mass-
market product.

If you want to pursue this further, go ask the folks on rec.driving or rec.
motorcycles, and they can give you *much* more data than I have - most of
what I know about the more exotic engine designes I have picked up from the
motorheads on those groups.

I always went barefoot as a kid (apart from at school that is) in
Surinam and Aruba (then part of the Dutch Antilles).  When I was four,
in Surinam, the larva of some kind of cicada ate itself into the
callusses of my right foot.  My dad cut it out with a penknife.  I don't
think it was on it's way to my stomach, and I didn't stop going about
barefoot.

Then there are times when I can't tell whether the poster is being humorous
or whether s/he doesn't know anything about anything that happened SINCE s/he
was born.  Chelsey (note de-Quayled spelling) Clinton is the 12-year-old
daughter of Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas.  He's the Democratic Presi-
dential candidate.  We're having an election for President of the US this
year.  Chelsey has a lot of poise and presence, which is rather startling in
a 12-year-old -- hence all the quivering antennae out in netland.

i'm far too lazy to go look up the 5 marx brothers' names but from memory

gummo(i forget, but i know one of them was milton).


anyway, here comes the ul.  my father, who grew up in los angeles and was born
in 1927, has always insisted that there was a 6th marx brother called beppo.
he says it was common knowledge when he was a kid(being so close to hollywood
and all).  

i've always supected he made it up, but i wonder where it came from.  has anyone
else heard this one?(knowing that this is the traditional thing to say at such

From the June 10-17 Indianapolis NUVO Newsweekly "News of the Weird":

        Columbian garbage collector Oscar Hernandez claimed in March
        that he was kidnapped by security guards during Carnival in
        Barranquilla and taken to a lab at the Free University of
        Barranquilla, where a syndicate planned to kill him for his
        body parts.  A police investigation then turned up 11 bodies
        and parts of 22 others, and a report that body bounty hunters
        received $200 per person.  Police identified most victims as
        garbage collectors.

I worked several years as a pizza cook, which involved handling lots of
things that were _almost_ too hot to handle.  (For some reason, we stowed
the pizza paddles, bubble-popper (all metal) and other implements _on top
of_ the pizza ovens, and the handles got hot to the touch.  Even wooden handles
conduct heat, eventually).  Eventually, it got to the point where I no longer
felt much discomfort.  I could shock my parents by passing fairly hot dishes
around at dinner time without a potholder.  

I'm not sure what mechanism was at work.  Maybe I scorched some nerve
endings.  It could also be that the skin on my hands and fingers got
thicker.  Couldn't say. Years later, my hands are more sensitive to 
heat again, though I can still hold hotter things than my wife can.

I'm sure you all remember Jimmy the Greek, the odds-maker for
CBS (NBC? who cares..) sports.  And of course, you all recall that
he was fired because of an on-air racist slur.  Recently, some friends
and I were trying to remember what he said, and we all remembered
radically different versions of this career-ending quote, so I guess
it has sort of achieved the status of urban legend.  My question,

(you know, cm, g, and s).  So c=3E+10 cm/s.  This is consistant with 3E+08
m/s.  CGS (and English Engineering system) is still used for certain cases.
Plasma theory still has a bunch of papers that haven't been converted to
SI from CGS.  Many Thermodynamic and many thermal-hydraulic texts and papers

SI is convenient for most cases, but sometimes CGS is better (i.e. no need

I've also seen CD booklets with holes punched through them.  In this
case, instead of being in cardboard, the CD is sold in a plastic . . . 
um . . . thingie (to use a technical term.)  The CD and jewel box are
in the bottom half and the booklet is sealed in the top half.  Whoever

punching a hole through the booklet.
