Lord, protect me from knowing what I don't need to
know. Protect me from even
knowing that there are things to know that I don't
know. Protect me from knowing
that I decided not to know about the things that I
decided not to know about. Amen.
Lord, lord, lord. Protect me
from the consequences of the above prayer. Amen.

An Interesting Erin-thing
birthed via ICQ
Erin: I want to know
about this "can't establish direct connection to user" thing.
"Why?", I ask. Is it because of congressional inadequacies? Is
it from tartar
buildup? Is it a result of minute tectonic movements? Inquiring
minds want to
know.
Do you have the answer?
friend: is this ICQ you are talking
about?
Erin: yes.
but the world in general as well. Every now and then I'll be
talking
to someone and their eyes will sort of glaze over, and I feel that I'm
not getting a direct connection to user. Is this problem of a similar
nature?
friend: yes,
people, much like ICQ, can be very buggy in their programming
Erin: Ah. I see. Then
evolution must be like a people-upgrading system.
where can I get the next
version? Mankind 3.1?
