LW, I would be astounded if one could catch pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis while visiting Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu. I"m sure any otorhinolaryngologist could spectrophotofluorometrically dispel your worries as being strictly hypothetical, which would probably by very psychophysicotherapeutic for you anyway.

Here's one of my best recipes: Take 2 slices of whole-wheat bread. Butter one side of each. Unwrap 2 slices of American cheese (preferably Kraft(tm), but any brand will likely suffice). Place one slice of bread butter-side-down in a skillet, frying pan, or griddle. Place the slices of cheese on the bread, slightly offset from each other so that they cover the entire slice.

Stupid Yahoo! ... the pics worked fine when I posted the article, and now on a different computer the links are all broken. Gotta try some other pix hosting service.... BlueDev, I have in prior years (particularly just post-college) been a poster boy for the "fish-belly white" geek coloration. Playing more ping-pong instead of more frisbee recently has probably started me on the road back to that.... Oh, and the only problem with a

I said "OR", not "AND". Any one of those simple transformations will do, you don't have to do all of them. Puts me in mind of a tale I read about a japanese shogun who wanted to share the secret of gunpowder with an ally. He wrote up the instructions in fine detail and dispatched a messenger to deliver the paper. Along the way, as feared, a rival shogun killed the messenge

Yeah, changing the color of your eyes to some other (normal) color never really appealed to me. Although, I complimented a girl on her eye color once, not even realizing it was because she had tinted lenses in. But it's not what color your eyes are, it's what you've got going on behind them. If the eyes are the window to the soul; slapping on some nice windowshades or putting in rose-colored panes isn't going to change how the view itself looks.<BR

Gotta ding you on not answering the question asked for puzzle one (you gave A and C's types, B and C were asked for). You've got #2 wrong. You've got #3 right. To explain the logic behind #3 for any one else who's still reading: If A is telling the truth, then he is claiming that he (and all the others) are knaves (i.e. liars). A liar will never truthfully admit to

As I recall it, the WMD argument went something like this: He has had them in the past. Sizeable stockpiles of them. He has USED them in the past. He has had the capability to build them himself.

Well, Pidge, that's one reason I think 6 characters would have been more reasonable; it falls on the happy side of the old "7, plus or minus 2" rule of how many bits of information people can remember fairly easily. On the other hand, the fact that people write their passwords down isn't necessarily the problem. The fact that people leave their written-down passwords SITTING OUT FOR ALL TO SEE is the real problem. Print them clearly on a sma

OK, here are a couple of puzzles from Raymond Smullyan's book, "What Is the Name of This Book?" You are on the Island of Knights and Knaves. Knights always speak the truth, and Knaves always lie. Every inhabitant on the island (except you) is either a Knight or a Knave, but they have no distinguishing markings. Generally speaking, your task is to determine whether a given person is a Knight or a Knave. So, puzzle 1: You are in
