Probably. Fortunately, the rest of us will get to watch, so you
can have some consolation that at least someone will get a chuckle
out of it.

Huh. I'm lost in the French accented Caltalk here. What the blazes is
"bichon frize"?

The DMV employees must have seen "Double Jeopardy", otherwise they
would have never figured this out.

I don't know. Some of my posts to Usenet longevity & life-extension
from '91-93 are still floating around. Reading them gets very scarey
because I really am a different person now. Though I still stand
behind most of the assertions I made, it seems like I no
longer have the knowledge on which the assertions were based.

I wonder if in ten years I'll consider being an Extropian a similar
phase in my development?
