"Look! An alien from the Outernet!" Hoki raises his front claw. "Come
in peace, stranger. Oh dear, you don't understand me, do you? Hey
everybody, I'm trying to communicate with it!..."
Hoki speaks loudly so the alien could understand him better:
for i in *.gif; do perl -e "\$n=\"$i\"; \$a=\"$i.xpm\"; \$a =~ s/\.gif//gi;
\$parm=\"convert \$n \$a\"; print \"\$parm\\n\"; \`\$parm\`;"; done
The alien doesn't seem to understand, but its visage alters to another
form. "You don't understand? Maybe I'll try another form of
communication..."
Hoki speaks in another tongue, too archaic to read by mere humans, so
it's here converted to hexadecimal:
00 c0 a9 01 a0 01 a2 01 8e 20 d0 8c 21 d0 e8 18 69 01
c9 ff d0 03 c8 a9 01 c0 ff d0 02 a0 01 e0 ff d0 e5 a2
01 4c 06 c0
The alien's nose starts to bleed. "Hmmm... English is out of question,
it doesn't understand sh+perl, and it doesn't understand MOS 6510
machine code... I give up."

"Nope, that 00 c0 is the memory offset. This is a hexdump from a machine

It's an old song from around the time of WWII.
Mares eat oats, and Does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy.
Kids'll eat ivy too, wouldn't you!
Then theres the corrupted version:
Maresey dotes, and Doesey dotes, and little lambsie divy.
Kiddly divy too, wouldn't you!
I forget the verses though, perhaps Eredien could remind us!
CHORUS:
Mares eat oats
And does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy
Kiddleydivey (Kids will eat ivy) too, wouldn't you?
If the words sound queer
and funny to your ear
a little bit jumbled and jivey,
just say,
"Mares eat oats
and does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy."
Repeat Chorus
That's all I know.

Oh, no... now that song is going to be in my head for the rest of the

heads as well. ;-)
"Bruces' Philosopher Song"
Immanuel Kant was a real pissant
Who was very rarely stable,
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar
Who could think you under the table,
David Hume could outconsume
Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel.
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine
Who was just as schloshed as Schegel.
There's nothing Nietzche couldn't teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist,
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will,
On half a pint of shandy was particularly ill,
Plato, they say, could stick it away,
Half a crate of whiskey every day.
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobbes was fond of his dram,
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart,
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates, himself, is particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker,
But a bugger when he's pissed.
*Grin* *bow* Oh, and I would like to remind everyone that Descartes is
pronounced des-cart-es, especially when trying to annoy teachers. ;-)

Second verse:
Frogs eat bugs and birds eat bugs
And little dogs eat liver
(A kid'll eat liver too, wouldn't you?)
Frogs eat bugs and birds eat bugs
And little dogs eat liver
(A kid'll eat liver too, wouldn't you?)
If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
And make you want to jump in the river,
Just sing "Frogs eat bugs, and birds eat bugs,
And little dogs eat liver..."
Frogs.. etc.
I think there's a third verse as well, but I don't know it.

It's all in vain anyway ... I doubt very much that there's enough chocolate
cheesecake to make me sing ... however don't let me put you all off trying

I like this idea and think it ought to be encouraged - in fact I'd go so

I don't expect he wants to be plaid:) (and seeing as how thin he is to start
with that a lot of cheesecake...)
I don't mind if he doesn't want to sing it. I wouldn't in his place:)
Eredien wishes she could hand Wyrm a cheesecake, but she can't, so she ducks

Is it in England, or the USA? I never heard about it before!"

I believe it's an attempt to post non-ASCII characters.
"Yes, but that still doesn't make very much sense. The original
