This ain't "Hallmarks" and it ain't "Precious Moments" either.  Sorry my

responsibility for one's actions (statements) is another more important
"manhood indicator".  Think?

Just another tidbit about the giant fungus.  On NPR they
said it gives off luminescence, and this might explain the
glow residents in the area see when in the woods at night.
I'm skeptical.

It's good to hear news from Michigan.  I've been in New York,
another state on the shores of two Great Lakes, for five years.
Let's keep the water in the lakes and not export it.  Any body
else have opinions on that topic?

Indeed, it's a great collegiate sport. As a UW-Madison alum (we've had our
days in the sun - remember the late great Bob Johnson?), I still try to
follow my school's team. Trouble is, you get a few miles outside college
towns and no one's heard of college hockey. Too bad too, as it's real
hockey. I won't deny that fighting doesn't happen, but they're mainly
there to play hockey.

Ahh,  The Fungus that Ate Crystal Falls.  All of the network news shows 
had the story and CNN even had a reporter on the scene (interviews with
some locals, etc.)

Dave Letterman's top 10 list was devoted to the fungus.  It was "Top 10 things
to do with a 38 acre fungus" or something.  I only remember number one which
was "Dig it up and put it on a 40 acre pizza".

into the tournament, and then the Championship.

I watched the game saturday on ESPN, and have been very proud of the Soo Lakers
to tell all my friends in the LA area.  Things bode well for the Lakers next year
with a young team this year.

One suggestion and I will go.  I think that all hockey lovers should write in to

program that covers all there is to see and here in this great collegiate sport.

My dad had a record with a bunch of fight songs, including Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota.  I don't think it was just (or all of) the 
Big Ten though.

What I really wanted to know is if anyone heard the American Radio
Company broadcast from the Michigan campus.  More specifically, I
was interested in the words to the Michigan Politically Correct
Fight Song.

As I read in Time, the 37acre (4 football fields by 4 football fields) fungus
is at the Wisconsin/UP boarder, and should be under Milwaukee in 1.6million
years.  It's still pretty foggy whether or not the fungus is actually one
whole fungus, as it could be pieces of the fungus that broke off and grew
on their own.  They know by DNA testing that the samples are from the same
fungus, but it is unclear as to whether or not it's one piece.

Just thought I'd add my thoughts to the fungal kettle.  I hate fungus!

The discovery of this "organism" was reported in the journal _Nature_,
issue of April 2, 1992 (Smith ML, Bruhn JN, Anderson JB, Nature
356(6368):428-431 for those who want to see the original report).
Smith and Anderson are from the University of Toronto, Bruhn from
Michigan Tech.

The "organism", a wood-rotting fungus called _Armillaria_ _bulbosa_,
lives in a northern Michigan hardwood forest (location unspecified).
It "occupies a mininimum of 15 hectares" and "has remained genetically
stable for more than 1500 years".  Its mass is "in excess of 10,000
kg", but this estimate is for only the easily visible part of the
organism--mostly "rhizomorphs", strands somewhat resembling
roots in outward appearance.  The mushroom-like fruiting bodies are
(as I understand it) only a small proportion of the total mass--there
are no giant mushrooms!  The authors extrapolate to a "conservative
minimum mass estimate" for the whole organism of about 100 tonnes,
comparable to an adult blue whale.  Most of this is in the form of a
web of fine strands (hyphae), each barely visible to the naked eye, in
soil and rotting wood.

The claim that this fungus is a single organism is based on the fact
that all the parts sampled were genetically identical.  As far as I
can tell, there is no evidence that all these parts are joined to one
another, so it's a matter of definition whether it really qualifies as
a single organism (Many plants reproduce without sex, so the offspring
are the same as the parent--for example, all the potato plants in a
potato field are near enough genetically identical.  Does that make
them a single organism?  If a mad scientist could clone you, would
your clone be part of you?)

If you are interested in more discussion about this fungus, check out
the sci.bio newsgroup.

All my friends made sure they told me *all* about this whenever they saw
me for a few days after that breaking story.  I've counted 36 people now who
have approached me with some variation of "Did you know you were living on
a 37 (56, 30, 49, 77, 100) acre fungus? Let me tell you *all* about it..."
etc etc ad naseum.  Co-workers, people in the lab, classmates, you name it.
They all think I'd never have known about this if it wasn't for them telling
me every detail (usually incorrect details, like all the above sizes).

I've decided to name my huge brown fuzzy foam-chunk chair (sorta like a bean-
bag chair, but with foam chunks instead of beans - so comfortable, once you
sit down you never want to get out.  Has been rumored to eat one or two
people who said disparaging things about me!) after this fungus.  Now to pick
which scientific name to use....

Date: Thu, 9 Apr 92 18:36:21 GMT


I only tuned in to this newgroup a few weeks ago, so if this topic has
made the rounds already, consider me green.

Recently, searching for books on dealing with custody issues, I came
across the books of Alice Miller.  I had seen references to Miller in
dysfunctional family literature, but never read her.  So I bought "The
Drama of the Gifted Child", and it literally rearranged my head.

Miller goes one step deeper than the dysfunctional family or
codependent literature that I'm familiar with.  She argues that it's
early childhood experiences that hurt us and that we have forgotten
that cause us to unintentionally and often unconsciously use our
children for our needs, rather than theirs.  She does not place blame
on anyone, only argues compassionately and eloquently for
understanding so that our children and our children's children can
learn to manage these things better.

Miller's books have given me insight and the beginnings of a tool to
manage my own anger, something that any number of counselors did not
do, and certainly a lifetime of conservative religious ideology did
not do.  Her books have also helped me to accept that my ex-spouse is
fighting her own internal battles that have essentially nothing to do
with me, as well as understand why my ex-spouse and I hurt each other
deeply (even if she is still locked in denial).

Miller's books have enabled me to understand that, out of the best of
motives, I hurt my children.  Hopefully, from what I see of them at
13, not as deeply as I was hurt.  The process of uncovering my own
hurt, of grieving, and moving on has just barely begun for me.  But
for the first time I can understand aspects of myself that never made
sense before; the rest is working through.

If this speaks to anyone's condition, I'd recommend three books:

        For Your Own Good
        The Drama of the Gifted Child
        Banished Knowledge

Good idea. This addresses several problems:

1.) Fewer children raised by one parent.
2.) Slows the population explosion, and resultant pollution, ozone holes, etc..
3.) Men get to choose if they want children.
