**An even bigger question-- what are they feeding the hamsters?!

I started this thread last night, but the Board froze, so I gave up on it. **

Apparently their being fed downers and tranquilizers. I’ve been getting some serious lag, and my DSL is always pretty zippy.

I can’t believe this thread has gotten this long without anyone having posted a link to the Jargon File.

The very first link, posted by me, was a link to the Jargon File/Dictionary.

I knew there was a reason I couldn’t believe it; it wasn’t true!
