The net.jokes newsgroup is intended for HUMOR, though the contributions to that group frequently seem to amuse only the authors. It is not intended for this kind of garbage. Send all of your contributions to this "contest" to /dev/null and save the entire net a lot of pain. Rich Strebendt ...!ihnp4!iwsl6!res

As the original Halley s Comet Limerick Contest poster, I withdraw. I find
it hard to believe that such pomposity exists, but on the other hand, you are
all scientists and such and no doubt take yourselves very seriously. The
contest is called off, I apologize and all that, and I shall surely not
plague your network again. But ohhh, how important it is to bridge the
Two Cultures.
