Well, some observations from a medical past... There certainly is such a thing
as allergy to semen, both to sperm itself (usually results in infertility for
obvious reasons, and very little else), and to the various enzymes and
other proteins that make up the prostatic fraction. That can result in some
pretty unpleasant inflammation of the vagina (vaginitis). It's vanishingly
rare, but it can happen. I suppose (for the logic impaired, CONJECTURE
follows...) that it is theoretically possible to have an anaphylactic reaction
to sperm, given the nature of the allergy. Never heard of it, but that doesn't
mean it's never happened.

Drugs per se don't concentrate in semen, simply because they get
excreted/metabolized/whatever too fast (you can have sperm stored for weeks in
the old seminal vesicles if your luck's out   ;->  ). Heavy metals have
been known, and of course in the case of fat soluble drugs, you have the same
concentration in sperm as in the rest of your body. So, if you drunk enough
semen from enough people stoned on something with a low therapeutic index
(lethal/effective dose), it's possible to OD in this manner... Bloody
unlikely, but possible.

Certainly never heard of "sperm poisioning" though!

Regarding the "obscene gesture" entry in the FAQ, I remember this as being
one of the bizarre events in the seizure of the U.S.S. Pueblo.  The crew had
their guards convinced that the middle finger was the "Hawaiian Good Luck
Sign" showing forgiveness.  They posed with that gesture to the cameraman
during a propaganda photo session and the caption in Time gave away the game.
This should be easily verifiable from any of the numerous books published
about the Pueblo incident.

The M40/M42 junction is still a bit like that - the two right hand lanes are
the M40, the right hand one the M42. Since the M42 is continuing it is
debatable whether there are two lanes merging from the right or one from the
left. It still scares the shit out of me.

The M8 (Glasgow urban motorway) has several slip roads on the fast lane.

WHO set this as the "official" criteria for snuff films?

Seems like the criteria change anytime there is something coming close to the

From what I hear, he gave up performing because he wanted to remain an
amusing performer rather than an angry one.  I remember reading some
quote to the effect of, "When I started out, I looked at the papers and
got ideas; now I just get angry."  There is a musical called _Tomfoolery_
floating around which features one song Lehrer never recorded plus
alternate verses for some old favorites.

 Only about 1.5 shergolds on the AFUUL scale for this one. I think it's
on the FAQ list. If it isn't, it should be.
 
 Phil Collins himself has denied that the lyrics to "In The Air Tonight"
have any factual basis, and he's probably getting sick of hearing about it
by now. I heard an interview with him on "Rockline" (a syndicated radio 
show where people call in to ask questions of the rock stars), and one 
call went something like this:
 
 Caller: I wanted to ask you about "In The Air Tonight".
 
 Phil: Oh no, not this again.
 
 Caller: Yeah, I know you've heard this before, but just for the record...
 
 Phil: Just for the record, the song's not based on any real incident. 
       I never watched anybody drown and then wrote a song about it. I 
       wrote the music first, then made up lyrics that sounded good 
       with it.
 
 Quotes are not exactly verbatim as I heard this back in 1984, but that's the 
general idea.

I've heard [there's that unimpeachable reference again!] that the 
little piece of Manhattan that's on the mainland used to be connected
to the island, and separated from the mainland by the (East? Harlem?)
River, but the river was diverted for some purpose and the old river
bed was filled in, connecting these few acres of Manhattan to the
mainland and cutting them off from the rest of the island.

When the World Trade Center was the tallest building in the U.S.,
there was a trick question (from Asimov, I think): "What's the 
tallest building in North America?"  Turned out to be something in
Chicago or Boston, since the World Trade Center was not
"in" North America, but "on an island off the coast of North America."

Y'know, as ashamed as I am to admit it, I remember the very character of
