Reference: (uicsl.7500058) > *All Things Considered* has finally announced the winner in their > "Name that strip of paper with holes that you rip off the sides of > computer paper" Contest. And the winner is: "perfory." Reminds me of a passage from Conrad's "Typhoon" to the effect that Capt. McWhirr (sp?) had discovered, under the stress of the storm, the *perfidy* of men. Ah, the perfidy of those holes, when you tear them off, for they are perfidious as well as perforious. At any rate the adjective gives us a new rhyme for glorious. Gordon Fisher
