The other day I accidently imitated Elvis while combing my hair, but
the miriads of screaming fans caused me to stop right away.  I have
heard that Apple is considering a project to raise Isaac Newton from
the dead, but they are consulting with spiritual channels to determine
feasibility.  The channels are asking for an hourly rate, with no
warrantee.  They were disappointed to learn that they could not charge
for Ghostscript for the use by the resurrected individuals.  Apparently
they are pursuing this as a potential market for vaporware products.  

I do not know whether to take this effort seriously, nor even whether
to take this message seriously.  Clearly anyone who does needs a long
rest.  -David-
