  1. Re:Worlds largest egh ? on The World's Largest Scavenger Hunt Returns · · Score: 1

    this is like the "World Series" where the winners are "World Baseball Champions" when only teams from USA play, most American kids dont even know what the world is.

    It is also like the "Almost correct example using MLB" where the teams are "only from USA" when some people don't even know where Toronto is.

    'According to rule 917.243(b) in the Domestic Mail Manual, when a business reply card is "improperly used as a label"--e.g., when it's affixed to a brick--the item so labeled may be treated as "waste." That means the post office can heave it into the trash without further ado.'

    Subject: Surfing the Internet 2.0

    Surfing the Internet, my Wilson Library Bulletin article from 6/92, has
    been updated and is available for anonymous ftp from nysernet.org.

    Look for it in the directory /pub/resources/guides. The name is
    surfing.the.internet.2.0.txt

    It is a large file of about 64K. Its general flavor is an enthusiastic
    piece about how I used the Internet in my former life as a public
    librarian.

    There is also a lot of compiled information about how to learn about
    listservs, how to get Internet guides, gopher resources (even Veronica!),
    an annotated list of "must have" books about the Internet, and much more.

    It may be freely copied and given away for educational purposes; please do
    not sell it. I hope it is helpful to you.

    Bird flu is a diversion from the REAL killers. Not to worry though, the feds and local governments are on top of this stuff.
