    SHT = "Stupid Human Tricks"

    Can anyone on the list who understands British culture
    better than I explain this phenomena:

    "Travel Advisory: British Abroad, Staggering About"
    Sarah Lyall, NY Times

    Lord knows what the implications of this kind of behavior
    would be if people had personal replicators. Now, as I
    recall there are some strange things going on in the U.S. --
    the Harvard Raft Race on the Charles river comes to mind
    (I participated in one of these) and perhaps the propensity
    for MIT engineering students to somehow repark automobiles
    on the roofs of buildings (I think this involves disassembling
    and reassembling them.) But it could get much much worse.
