4/8     The Fence looks really stupid.  It's going to cost over a billion
        dollars.  Is it really going to be built?

4/7   soda.csua's MX records appear to be missing.  I just mailed root
         {h,p}ostmaster.  But if you're missing mail, that might be why.

        Short sale rules the market! Auswami was right!!!
        \_ Swami predicted a nadir in 2007.
           \_ Meh, 2 out of 3 ain't bad.
           \_ Swami did no such thing. Swami was making fun of the request. -GS

                    false (sarcasm is hard to detect over ascii, I admit)
                    \_ What's the sarcasm?  Swami really didn't think the
                       housing market would go down?  Swami thought it was
                       OK to predict doom but not to make any specific
                       predictions?

4/8     Fattest States:
        http://calorielab.com/news/2007/08/06/fattest-states-2007
        \_ "California not getting fatter" only because starving
           immigrants are making the average less, while fat lazy
           trailer trash whities from Riverside and the Inland Empire
           keep moving inland towards Las Vegas and Arizona.
           \_ Erm... Mexico is the second fattest nation after
              the U.S.
              \_ I'm talking about LEGAL immigrants you dits, like those
                 \_ dits?
                 skinny nerdy INDIANS who took over 1/2 of our company.
                 Oh well at least they work 2X as hard for 2/3 the pay.
                 Go company stock!
                 \_ You are so funny.  You should go into stand up.  But you
                    might need to throw in a few "white people drive like
                    this, black people drive like that," jokes.  You know,
                    just to spice it up.  Also maybe a joke about how women
                    love to shop.
              \_ How about guatemalans and el salvadorans?
              \_ It's true Mexico is about to overtake the USA in obesity.
                 Is Kuwait still fatter than the USA?
           \_ I seem to recall that hispanics have the fastest growing
              obesity rate.
           \_ Given that rice prices are going up, and a bigger percentage of
              CA residents compared to other states eat rice, this will
              probably become more true.

                          All the more so that you'd post some silly nonsense
