Just for the sake of curiosity and documentation of "weird" things: - galinha is chicken in portuguese; - ucpel stands for "Universidade Católica de Pelotas" or, in english, "Catholic University of Pelotas"; - tche is a network to which UCPel is connected (http://www.tche.br). It's a network which connects some universities of the south of Brazil to the Internet. "Tche" is a kind of slang used in some cities of the south of Brazil, specially in Rio Grande do Sul, state where Pelotas is located -- I guess it's derived from "che", a spanish word. - br means Brazil (or Brasil, which is Brazil in portuguese). I don't think it will make any difference to the memorization of the URL. Just to explain why the address is such a funny string. :-) Best wishes, Mario _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
