Sometime back I posted a joke about scientific laws and lo and behold I got
this in my inbox tonight!!!! The message I received, follows the signature
and I have added the joke which confused the young man. He must have visited
the arachne archive for lace-chat.

Subject: Scientific Laws
Dear jeanette,
I was wandering if the Scientific Laws posted on your website real. I
was working on a little homework assignment and your site is the only i found
that have a list of scientific laws. So they sound to be not very scientific
so i was just wondering if they are. Thanks
Sincerly,
A worried Student
