We will come into contact with the ground below.

Tower Bridge was still in London (England, not Arizona <g>) the other

Yes, the people who bought it made the same mistake.  They asked for,
and we sold them, "London Bridge".  The one thay *wanted* (but didn't
say) was Tower Bridge, the one with two drawbridges, but I don't think
we'd have sold them that anyway...

I believe that I've references that indicate that "mathom" is a word from the

BZZZT! the correction is wrong! That's a _fathom_. A _mathom_ is, quite obvy,
a _metric_fathom_, and rounded to the nearest full meter. Therefor, the unit
is equal to exactly 2 meters.

Thank you, Spencer.  However, I cannot claim credit for the creative genius
for originating the idea.  I am told that this type of auctioning is a LASFS
(Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society) tradition that is held quite often at
the weekly meetings.  I merely applied the concept.
 
(The item thus auctioned at Con-Chord 8 was a music box ("Memories" 
from Cats) with a mirrored back glass display box on top containing a plastic 
bamboo & floral arrangement.  (I should know; my father & 2nd wife gave it to 
Rick & me as a Christmas present some years back. 
 It had been "gracing" the back bedroom for some time.)  The ultimate 
recipient of said item was Bob Laurent, who was suitably unimpessed, at least 
until Lindy Sears little girl (so cute!) saw it & asked if she could play it. 
 She came, she saw, it conquered.)

No doubt you can yank this up off some ftp archive, but igmos like me
never figured that stuff out. So here's the lyrics to By-Tor and the
Yellow Snow Dog:

The tobes of Hades lit by flickering torchlight
the netherworld is gathered in the glare
Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the northlight
The sign of Eth is rising in the air     (hi, Ethan!! =)  )

By-Tor, knight of darkness
centurion of evil, devil's prince

Across the River Styx out of the lamplight
his nemesis is waiting at the gate
Snow Dog, ermine glowing in the damp night
coal black eyes shimmering with hate

By-Tor, and the Snow Dog
square for battle
Let the fray begin!

(much instrumental flogging goes here)

The battle's over and the dust is clearing
Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell
rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing
By-Tor in defeat retreats to hell

Snow Dog, is victorious
The land of the Overworld
is saved again...
is saved again.

That's out of a Rush anthology I have. As far as i can tell, it's
accurate.

Does anyone else have a CD that sounds like "Pull me Under" is cut off right 
during the middle of a lyric?  Is it just mine (I have a promo copy) or is it this way on everyone's?
