Scientific American http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?articleID=0001A3E4-764F-1ED9-8E1C809EC588EF21 has some beauties. To witless:

Pickens of Honolulu. Breeding stuffed toys - now that is something we urgently need. The future of Western Civilization depends on it. The [insert name of nation]'s history of innovation and invention will end terribly and abruptly if we cannot breed stuffed toys.

After all, I thought of it first ;^) Wesley Parish On Fri, 25 Jul 2003 11:29, you wrote: > I hope the Germans throw the guy in jail.
