Tip of the Section: If your baby cries a lot whenever you put him in his
cradle, think about putting him in something more stable -- babies probably
don't like the feeling of being suspended in mid-air by something that keeps
rocking around.

Sometimes I wish I were just a little more evil. It seems there are a lot of
bad things that really need doing, because they would make the world a lot
better to live in. For example, sure: we're all entitled to our own opinions,
but racist people are just wrong and really need to be told that
up-close-and-personal-like.

If I had a secret that I didn't want anybody to know about, and yet I just
really felt that I ought to get it out in the open, I'd write it on a warning
label. Or in a text book. Or in a "Readme" file. Someday, when I write,
patent and distribute a program, I'll put the secret to the meaning of life in
the ReadMe file. Or maybe in the license agreement. Or the copywrite
information. No one will ever find it there.

Pet Peeve: Men.

Tip of the Next Section: If your mouse is giving you trouble, take the ball out

referring to yourself and another person/party, take the other person/party out
of the sentence and see if it sounds good. For example: "She and me/I went to
the store" would become "Me/I went to the store". Whichever one is correct in
the singular is correct in the plural. "Give it to him and I" is incorrect!!!!!

Bad advice that I didn't follow, but yet wish I'd followed: If you're ever in

points), the 2nd dimension is a plane (i.e., a row of lines) and the 3rd
