sentientbrendan asks: "I'm a University student home for summer vacation, living in the Greater Seattle area. While at school I have access to a lot of different clubs such as the ACM, Math Club, Anime Club, etc. Now that I am out of school, even though I have more free time to participate in them, I no longer have access to said clubs. I enjoy hanging out with intelligent technical people and discussing programming, math, science, physics, and so fort. I'm a serious student of a number of subjects and I like to hang out with people who either know their stuff, or are willing to learn about it. I'm especially interested in anything that has a Seattle chapter. It also definitely needs to be a group that still meets during the summer. I do attend 2600 meets, although I'm not that interested in security in particular. The informal atmosphere is nice and people tend to wander around Seattle at night after the meets, which is always fun. So Slashdot, what are your favorite tech/math/science clubs?"

For you, sir, I shall suggest a group with whom to discuss grammar. What is the last word on the end of your sentence?

A Texan is touring London. He is attempting to locate Westminster Abbey, and stops an English gentleman on the street to ask for directions.

"Pardon me, but can you tell me where Westminster Abby's at?"

"Sir, no self-respecting English speaking person would end a sentence with a preposition." replied the Gentleman.

The Texan thought about this for a few moments, then said, "Pardon me, but can you tell me where Westminster Abby's at, asshole?"

Still one of my favorites.
