Despite Bill's insistence that all of the program coding must be printed to be read, he wrote elegant programs. Maybe Bill was onto something.

In view of the increasing threat from the World Wide Web to their domination of the information market, the geniuses at Encyclopedia Brittanica decided to consolidate all their sets into one convenient, easy to read and handle volume. Next week- it's in paperback!!

Buddy still hadn't found the chapter on "Making the Right First Impression" in his Haynes Manual Women Explained.

Maybe, he thought, I shouldn't have skimped and bought the concise edition.

After several years of working on design projects for the USPS, I think I finally got a handle on all those acronyms they use and here they are in one place.

Let's see ----- VMF. AMF, MPF, MPOO, USPIS, LOG, BMEU and oh yeah! just how many things does APC stand for?

Psst! That's the Table of Contents!

-----

From Faux News:

CR4, GlobalSpec's popular engineering site and home of the infamous Bath Breaking Technique thread, is the brainchild of GlobalSpec's reclusive M 'The Architect' G, who agreed to speak with us on condition of anonymity,

"Yessirree bob! That dang Bath-Breakin' Thread pert near done us in! At one point we wuz buyin' 15 servers a day just to keep up all the posts. Lucky for us the new Data Center got done just in time for the next wave, when all them guldurn Shinys hit. Like a guldurn TSUNAMI, I'm tellin' ya! And that wuz when I noticed the center's Shiny new BBT servers seemed to form a sort of a physical histogram of the thread's activity over time. Remarkable! You could see just by lookin' at 'em which days had more posts than others.

See that tall one? That's the day we got the call from that Mark Zikkerbag fella wantin' to know how he could git in on the action (I wanted to say, "Eat yer heart out, bee-otch" but instead we just bought Facebook outright an' that wuz that)."

Let's continue captioning the image w/o breaking the CR4 rules. Thanks!
