    When I hacked a random computer in Russia, I stumbled upon some documents from the owner: comrade Igor Plotski, chief planner for the section ultra secret surprise weapons. It turns out that they had a foolproof plan to quickly overrun the USA using conventional weapons only. The initial first strike, right before the invasion, involved dropping the F-bomb, leaving at least half the population and military stunned, shocked, and in awe. The FCC has been notified in order to find ways to reduce this effect.

    Before the launch of Friendship 7, Alan Shepard is famously remembered for his quote "Why don't you just fix your little problem and light this candle?" What not many people know is that he wasn't referring to the Redstone rocket, but to an actual candle. Wernher von Braun was an early advocate of aroma therapy, and would light a scented candle just before each launch.

    Much like Neil Armstrong's "...small step for... man...", most people don't realize that some words were clipped from Shepard's quip. Von Braun liked to eat a hearty plate of sauerkraut for luck prior to every launch attempt, which meant the blockhouse by ignition time had become a local fire hazard. It drove the astronaut crazy. What Shepard actually said was, " Wernher, why don't you just fix your little problem? And don't light this candle."

    A couple of whats, I'll never know.

    No really, I'll never know. No matter how long I live, no matter how hard I try, I will just never know what Armstrong and Crow would make a couple of.

    Shakespeare's greatest disappointment was never winning the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.

    Prime numbers are the numbers you first put up on a blackboard, to cover up the dark color. You can then put any color of number you like on there, without the blackboard showing through.

    Applying the prime numbers is usually the task of graduate students in Mathematics.

    Prime numbers are more well-marbled than Choice numbers. When cooked, prime numbers remain more tender and go down easier.

    I would appreciate it if everyone here bought a copy of the new children's anthology Tsk! Tsk! Lutefisk! available from Lye Books. My contribution, When Lutefisk is Outlawed, Only the Outlaws Will Have Lutefisk, Thank God, is written in a Theodore Giesel style with overtones of Go, Dog, Go!

    Where did you get this jellied blob?

    I look at it and shut my gob


    It's really quite good (the anthology, not the lutefisk), containing a reprint of Kipling's famous Just-So story How the Lutefisk Got Its Creepy Quiver.

    I have periodically looked at it in the bookstore, but I found the language much too caustic. I basically couldn't understand why people liked it. Though the fact that you wrote something for it Mike does put me in a pickle.

    Sorry you find the language caustic; I think it's at an appropriately basic level (9-11) for the intended audience. No litmus tests for my readers, though.

    I just LOVE jellied liver & peanut butter sandwiches. With some sloppy raisin-carrot salad on the side.

    Oddly, Mr Winkelstein IV was the dam for the the next VI Mr Winkelsteins, the line being broken because Mr Winkelstein X was celibate.
