   One of my friends was offered $50,000 a year to work at CalComp and write
printer drivers for the Mac. He didn't take the job, hence there aren't any
printer drivers for CalComp stuff. Maybe if someone else would like to rectify
this situation by going to work for CalComp, everyone would be happy.

  Weird theory #47: Islamic women can do kinky things with their ankles,
                    that's why the Koran says they aren't supposed to
                    reveal them in public.
