Being almost human is curable, but once you're completely human, there's no
hope.

whether they sold that stuff in the grocery (right next to the

I think not, Justin.  I never kid.

For your information, Mister Solonynka, we here at the Talk.Bizarre Official
Greeting Directorate pray daily, nay hourly, for the enlightenment of the
huddled masses of newbiedom.  In fact, for the past several weeks, we've
been saying a special little prayer for you and your befuddled compatriots
at Lehigh.  Every hour, on the hour, we pray that you will acquire the
ability to change your fullnames so they don't appear in ANNOYING CAPITAL
LETTERS, that you will come to terms with the soul-destroying knowledge 
that the main reason you're at Lehigh is because you weren't good enough
to get into Penn, and that you will finally accept Our Lord, Jesus Christ,
as your personal saviour and, at long last, post something bizarre.

You see, Justin, there's hope for you.  Your .signature is about the most
bizarre thing I've seen out of Lehigh so far.  Granted, that's not
saying much, but as the saying goes, from small acorns great oak trees
grow.  Realize your potential.  Rise above the deplorable mundanity of
your fellow students, write something creative, and you too can be saved.

You should get something done about this immediately.  DEC has an FCO out on
it already, so if you're covered by DEC Maintenance they will do it for no
cost.  Just call up your FSE, describe the problem, and tell him to bring
the chicken bone kit and a piece of the one true cross.

	I went to the local library (as opposed to the school library)
for the first time today.  I saw a battered copy of that hardcover book
with no title that Kit Williams wrote a while ago...

	To refresh your memory, Kit Williams was also the guy who wrote
and illustrated "Masquerade," this book about the Sun and Moon and a
rabbit that was supposed to deliver a medallion or something...in each
illustration there was a rabbit hidden somewhere...it's been awhile so
I can't remember everything perfectly.

	The idea behind the book was that there were clues as to where
the medallion was lost.  If you could figure it out, you won something...
the medallion itself, I guess...

	And then this untitled book was similar...except it had to do
with bees, spring, and winter or something...if you came up with what
the title was, you would win something.

	Whatever happened to these books and contests?  Where is Kit
Williams and what is he doing now?

The Temple of the Gods stands in the forest of Brazil.  Trees are dwarfed by
the structure which has withstood the assaults of time, nature, and man.
Thousands of years before Europeans arrived on this continent, the Temple was
built by the ancestors of the Mayas, Incas, and Aztecs.

Inscriptions within the Temple continue to baffle archaeologists, as does the
mystery of its construction.  See the tombs of rules from the empires of
prehistory.  See the altar where priests once performed rites of blood and
fertility.  See the view from the tower atop the Temple, hundreds of feet
above the forest floor.

A cruise down the Amazon will take you to the village of Apanha, where the
villagers will welcome you in the way they have for generations.  From there
the Temple is within walking distance.  The villagers of Apanha believe that
they spirits of the priests still haunt the temple, but nobody has confirmed
this.  Will you?

Here's the introduction to the digital circuits section:

"DISCONTINUOUS-FUNCTION NONLINEAR CIRCUITS

  Veteran followers of Philbrick publications (a calloused lot) will
  find nothing remarkable in the generous way in which we embrace 
  such elements of the ungainly Digital Discipline as flipping, flopping,
  and gating.  Indeed, we feel no such reluctance-- most of these
  circuits were born analog-- and find themselves in their constricted
  hysteretical, or schizophrenic condition because they have been driven
  to their limits. . . accidentally at first, perhaps, but now deliberately.
  Mad and misshapen though they be, they can be very useful indeed, and
  we value the end above the means, if the blood lines are right.
  (Digits are members of the Analog family)."

: but can't justify an ear piercing for just that one occasion.

  For several months, I have been trying to talk myself into
getting an ear pierced, possibly multiply, so that I can wear
fishing lures in it.  (Yes, I would file the barbs down first.)
  Unfortunately, I suspect that fish hooks are not hypoallergenic.

I'd just like to take this opportunity to point out that I
don't understand the preoocupation with bashing sioux.  Her
name translates roughly from the french as "they eat their
babies."  That should do just fine.
