I'm not a historian, but I would have assumed that at the same point in
time that Christianity was banned that foreigners were also banned.  I'm
pretty sure in fact that the practice of Christianity was banned after
the missionaries were expelled.  Akio probably knows better than I do.

  Why should I compile the webster program? What I meant was that I
couldn't change the value of "websterhost" in /etc/hosts. But looking at
the manual page I saw that it should suffice to set a local environment
variable WEBSTERHOST, which I did. Now, I don't know if this gave me
the Indiana webster dictionary or not, but it was certainly not the
Next one. "webster peckerwood" is a simple test.

Except for being a bit:-) more fleshy, I look a bit like the guy on
the Atlantic Monthly cover: the one with the beard and glasses,
staring disapprovingly at the punk kid who looks like the last Cause
that interested him was an attempt to advance Multiculturalism and
Diversity by getting kosher pig's feet in the college cafeteria.

I think it took me about 10 minutes to get fed up with the Atlantic
author's smarmy, cutesy tone, and to get royally sick of being called
a BOOMER.  Jesus, how original....  How much effort did this person
expend thinking up clever names for the generations?  A lot more, I
think, than it took me to think up that kosher pig's feet line...which
was a hell of a lot more clever.

We find my favorite candy.  Normally they're not in boxes -- they're sold
individually in wrappers.  They're chocolate with caramel and something soft
inside.  Some people think they taste kind of like Snickers, but I don't.
Snickers are nasty tasting compared to Milky Ways.

It seems odd to me to go through the Texas Panhandle between Louisiana
and N.M.  I guess if you were going to northern N.M. you might go through
part of the Panhandle.  It's the part of Texas that pokes up between
Oklahoma and northern N.M.

I guess it means that the heels are worn down -- probably unevenly -- i.e.,
part of the heel is thicker than another part.

Irritable?  (I've never heard the expression -- the ? indicates that's a
guess.)

Small bullets used in BB guns -- guns children play with.  They are usually
played with by older children since they can be dangerous -- BBs can put out
eyes.  I'm trying to think of something to compare BBs with in size but am
so far blank.  They're a little smaller than whole pepper corns.

The OED is online (well, the "concise" version anyway): telnet
info.rutgers.edu, select "library", then "reference".  The Oxford
Dictionary of Familiar Quotations is also available there.  Very easily
searchable.

IMHO, the best place online for Shakespeare is Project Gutenberg.  Any of
the following will getcha 'dere:

ftp mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu, in /etext directory

ftp quake.think.com, in pub/extext directory

U. of Minnesota Gopher: Libraries/Electronic Books

Via WAIS: proj-gutenberg.src

For general info on the project, email hart@vmd.cso.uiuc.edu


Lots of other fun stuff at Gutenberg too: Alice in Wonderland, Federalist
Papers, ad infinitum...if it's literature and don't got a copyright, it's
probably in there somewhere.

PG Newsletters, indexes and a README file are supposedly available at the
mrcnext ftp site.

This religious thing is bothering me.  I have been wondering, ever
since the post that started it all (the response to somebody saying
"Jesus")....
    Why is it that saying "Jesus" is blasphemous and saying "Fuck
    the Pope" isn't?????   I just don't <get it>.....

Tushie, stuff a sock in it.  How's that for brilliant and obscure?;-)

Isn't it kind of mutual?  We're probably some sort of Escher print...a virtual
Moebus strip....  What else should identical twins be?:-) [thought we'd 
forgotten about that, didn't you? ]

The Cajun variety is just one variety of dirty rice, though.

Welcome, Anjani!

Yes, everyone is welcome to join in. I have added your name to the list of
players (I hope that is what you wanted). I am using the questions from the
Australian version of the game.... that is why so many of the players are
having difficulty answering correctly. When my turn arrives, I will be asked
questions from the American version. I am updating the board after each
response, keeping score and rolling a dice at each one's turn.... otherwise
it is being played in the traditional manner. If there's nothing else you'd
like to know, you can have a turn just by selecting a category to start.
