WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- Though it has long been suspected,
seismologists have the first direct evidence that the center of the
Earth is solid.
That core is surrounded by a liquid, much like a candy with a nut in
the center floating in a liquor filling.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR (The Times of London)
Dear Sir,
I am firmly opposed to the spread of microchips either to the home or
to the office. We have more than enough of them foisted upon us in
public places. They are a disgusting Americanism, and can only result
in the farmers being forced to grow smaller potatoes, which in turn
will cause massive unemployment in the already severely depressed
agricultural industry.
Yours faithfully,
Capt. Quinton D'Arcy, J. P.

Making files is easy under the UNIX operating system. Therefore, users
tend to create numerous files using large amounts of file space. It
has been said that the only standard thing about all UNIX systems is
the message-of-the-day telling users to clean up their files.

I think you can sum up Greek life this way: sororities are a bunch of
girls who hate each other, organized to travel in herds and fight over
frat boys. Fraternities are a bunch of guys who love each other,
organized to get wasted faster and cheaper and hook up with sorority
girls.

Do I advocate censorship? When that censorship is in the form of a violent
act to silence someone a group doesn't agree with, then absolutely. And
it's not... NOT... even in the same ballpark as pointing at a 'Natural
Born Killers' and saying "That there movin' pitcher makes people kill!"
Holding up a work of fiction (like 'Catcher in the Rye') and insisting
that it incites violence is like holding up a copy of 'Playboy' and saying
it incites masturbation. 'Tis not the book, but the hand of the
book-looker that commits the act.

"The disgruntled Puritans left England for Holland (not because they
were persecuted for their religious beliefs but because they were
forbidden to persecute others for *their* beliefs). Holland took them
in, and promptly turned them out. Only North America was left. Here,
as lords of the wilderness, they were free to create the sort of
quasi-theocratic society they had dreamed of. Rigorously persecuting
one another for religious heresies, witchcraft, sexual misbehavior, they
formed that ugly polity whose descendants we are. As religious
fundamentalists, they were irresistibly drawn to the Old Testament God
as his most forbidding, while the sternness of St. Paul seemed to them
far more agreeable than the occasional charity of Jesus."
