Hee.. my place got zapped by lightning the other day and scrambled poor
Win95's meager brains when the power went out in mid-defrag; among
other things that I had to reset was the date.
And well... I have a rather vague grasp of time at the best of times, and
when I went to reset the system clock I realized I had only the roughest
idea what time of the month it was. I knew it was a Tuesday, but was
that the 14th or the 21st? I picked the latter, and I guess I was wrong.
Sigh :)

Yep... when I was in j-school and later a magazine writer, we called that
the "hook": a catchy, focussing sentence or two that introduced the piece
and set its general tone and direction.
