[comp.edu] and the winner is .....

hen@bu-cs.BU.EDU (Bill Henneman) (11/19/87)

After many of reading articles on various nets, (starting with ARPANET
in the early '70s) I thought I had become inured to all the varieties
of silliness exhibited by peoples attitudes towards computers and
programming.  I was wrong - a new world's record was set by
thornton@ssc-vax.UUCP (Ken Thornton) in article 743 of comp.edu.

> After all, anyone with a background in chemistry and physics knows
> exactly how a computer works.

Yes folks, this one is my cadidate for the most outlandishly silly
sentence about computers ever sent across the net.
