[net.nlang] Notes on Timbuktu and Oxcam

bothner@Navajo.ARPA (01/03/86)

Timbuktu is a real place, in the southern Sahara:
"A town in central Mali, near the Niger River; in the 16th
century a seat of Islamic learning and a flourishing trade
center. Population: 15,000."
	--American Heritage Dictionary

Somebody (Lee Gold?) used the term "Oxcam". I think "Oxbridge"
is a more common word meaning Oxford and/or Cambridge.
