-=PCTechTalk=- Re: OT Re: Interesting Phenomenom

Wellllllllllllll I guess it ALL depends on HOW you look at it..speaking
STRICTLY acedemicallllly of course it's all a waste of time. Many things
are. But unless someone of this world can look BEYOND the academicallil part
and find the humor in it all we are in BIGGGGG trouble.  And what is humor
if not a betterment to society? What is life without being able to find the
giggle in something.. AND if whoever spent the time to do the research
LEARNED something then who is anyone to say it's a waste.. such is
life...and on that note the computer goes back into lurk mode..maybe.
