too proprietary (you can only download Apple's AAC format off iTunes).

You can load any MP3 or AIFF you like into iTunes and onto the iPod, whether you legally copied it off a CD you own, or stole it on Kazaa.

You're only tied to AAC if you buy from the music store.

nobody sees them during the play because they don't exist.

That's amateur-night. When Cal Tech does it, you can't tell whether they exist or not.

I saw this one game where Cal Tech played MIT. The MIT guys ran 32-Bob-55. That's the one where the QB very obviously hands off the ball. They're hoping the opponents notice who has it. That way, they won't know where he is.

That one always worked on Harvard, but the Cal Tech guys didn't fall for it. Instead of rushing the guy with the ball, they just stood there and stared at him. As long as the Cal Tech guys knew exactly where he was, it didn't matter what position he played. Bwaa ha ha!

MIT thought they scored on that play where they toss the ball into the end zone and it disappears. But the Cal Tech guys knew better than to challenge it. The MIT guys couldn't challenge their own play, so the Replay Official never even looked at the tape. Hey, maybe they scored. Maybe they didn't. Nobody knows.

MIT got even though, because they had home field advantage. MIT was behind by -1.414213562. Or maybe it was 17.223E-16. We can't be sure. Anyway, with about 7.4 seconds left, Cal Tech was in the vicinity of the 11 yard line, and they have that place kicker who always goes right through the uprights. Literally. That's the guy whose kicks chip the paint on both uprights when they go through.

But the MIT guys told everybody in the stands to turn around and not look.

Thanks for the answer. I'm not sure what was going on but it's not doing it anymore. I thought maybe John Rob was working on the software or something.

And Pardek, I don't know what you're saying. (Honest.) Never mind, though. It's not important.

Thank you all for your wonderful replies. My favorite one was “I drank, therefore I swam”. I’ll be a bit more apprehensive before I post.

You've got a pretty good attitude, and that goes a long way. Take care.

In Australia, we think American beer is like making love in a canoe.







F***ing close to water.

G'day, Bruce!

Except, as we all know, Descartes was incorrect. The answer is:

I FReep, therefore I am.

I learned how to imitate Neil Diamond: Exhale all the air from your lungs, then start singing without inhaling.

I sound better that way, but I pass out after three long notes or five shorts.
