Saving The UNIX HUMOR Legacy?

belbo asks: "To my utter dismay I've discovered that the great UNIX HUMOR archive has vanished from its rather obscure home at Geocities. UNIX HUMOR has been quite a vast archive of UNIX related humor from various decades (e.g. some -long- threads from a.r.s) It's not only been funny but has also been a great introduction into the UNIX way of thinking, laughing and solving problems. So, after much unsuccessful searching via Google and its cache, I want to ask the Slashdot community: does anyone run a mirror of this archive? Or has a tarball of it? I would love to host it on my server." Has this resource been moved to a new official site? If not, looks like you have one offer for a new home.

I already have numerous scripts that load tables and I was trying to find out which ones would break. I needed an easy way to compare tables. There are some packages out there that do this but budgets are kind of tight where I work right now. And since I thought it would make a good article I decided to write my own.
