Cantilevered elastics work wonders.
As does a firm dis-belief in gravity. 


One view of National Geographic will disabuse you of that notion...


that's the whole point of firm dis-belief! National Geographic is just
clearly mistaken. Plus few of those were likely to be of the
proportions under discussion here.

Andrew, I just have to ask...  are you using the word firm on purpose, 
or was that little pun not intentional?

interestingly, when I first typed it, it was unintentional, but by the
time I was hacking my way through dis-belief (which is amazingly hard
to type... i before e...) I was laughing. So the fact that it
remained, and was repeated was entirely intentional.

Never mind debian-user's topic statement is Help and discussion among users 
of Debian, which seems to suggest that there's no off-topic /threads/, just 
off-topic /people/ (ie, ubuntu users).
