	This "Crystal Pepsi" stuff has arrived, strangly enough in the middle
of the night when nobody was watching, at the dorms here at UNLV. Is this
stuff taking over the world?! It doesn't have caffine, and it's just not
normal. Everybody here had started drinking it. A few of us have managed to
hold out, but I don't know for how long. They are coming for us! They wont
stop until we are all their mindless slaves! I don't know how long I can

Well, Brian, you need to move out west where *WE* have to practically
*import* Pepsi from foreign dealers.  Coke, coke, coke, everywhere I 
look, coke, coke, coke.  There was once a Pepsi machine in the post office
on campus, but the Coke distributers whiiiiiiiiiiined about it.  They 
insisted that it was "on campus" and therefore on their territory.  They
whiiiiiiiiined loudly enough that the Pepsi machine (which, btw, only
charged .35 a can in contrast with the .50 charged by Coke) was removed
after only 1 month!  

It was a sad day.

|I don't know the story!  Tell me!  Tell me!

hmm, ok. A long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away (and most people
would prefer to keep it that way) there was this place named "Penn State."
It was in the center of a backward place known as "Pennsylvania." This was
the land of the speeding police carts and killer Office of Physical Plant
minivans, all painted a sickening blue color. It was also a land of sparse
subdomains and huge DNS files, due to common idiocy.

Now, PSU had vending machines, and by some act of forces unknown, the
vending machines had both "Coca-cola" and "Pepsi" cans in them, since they
were independantly operated by the university. This was wonderful, since you
never had to put up with Pepsi (in my case) and we didn't have to hear about
Pepsi-lovers whining about their lack of Pepsi. You could also get a
Mountain Dew, if you were really into caffeine and sugar.

Then on one dismal day, PSU and Pepsi decided that they wanted to make more
money. How, they wondered, were they going to do this? Well, it didn't take
long for them to sign a contract to eliminate "Pepsi's" overpowering
opponent, "Coca-Cola." And thus it was done; against common outcry, the red
and white cans that we all knew and loved were replaced with purple-colored
cans containing some of the worst grape soda ever concocted. This was only
the first step, though. With Coke out of the way, more devious plans arose
for the vending machines. On one day, prices rose. On other days, special
morons were paid to put the terrible grape-monster soda into the "Mountain
Dew" slot by mistake. Still worse, a rash of "Uh-huh" reciting commited by
students was observed by the mathematics department at an exam. Most of the
students failed the exam, for obvious reasons.

So now, there are those of us who wonder how long it will take for Penn
State to have an official T.V. dinner, keystroke, haircut, or shoe size.
We can only live in fear. However, there is a small grain of hope in
117/118/119 McAllister Building where my cohorts and I store our
twelve-packs of the administrative-feared "Coca-Cola" beverage in a fridge
newly marked with a bogus "biohazard" sign. We can only wait and hope that
our letters from earth make it to a helpful and understanding race..

After all, where are students this time of year?  Well, most aren't at

It was rather monotonic with a steady drumbeat.

Fine. I just did said simple calculation. I assumed the final velocity was
2.2klicks/sec. That got me about 27 g's. If you read what I said above, you
*might* notice that I suggested using a railgun *instead* of the damn
solid-fuel boosters. Admittedly, my friend at the Cape couldn't give me an
exact MECO velocity, but I think it was around 5Kmiles/hr (= 2.24 klicks/sec).
Now I might point out that all this is based on the point y'all are ignoring,
that you accelerate to final velocity in *ONE SECOND*. Ummmmmmm. Now if we
are *leisurely* about it, and do it in 32 seconds, I think even *I* could
stand 1.5 or so gees.

While we're at it, if you plan to clean the pond of water lilles when they
cover half the pond, and they will fill the pond in 30 days, on what day do
you have to clean the pond?

  "Jesus Christ, Superstar" tended to avoid miraculous on purpose, so that's
why the resurrection isn't in it. I have no idea about "Godspell" or "Last
Temptation."

  The empty cross is used by most protestant faiths as a symbol of the
resurrection. The Roman Catholics use the Crucifix as a symbol of God's
sacrifice. I don't know that much about the Orthodox Church either.
