No. However, after challenging you to find said picture, I tried myself
and was unable to find it using the same clever-but-RATMM-accessible
information that I had used to find it just a few months ago. I'm not
sure what that means. I _am_ still able to find the page, however, with a
bit of lucky guessing (whatever _that_ means)...You don't suck. But you
must be persistent, I guess.

Okay. I'll try three things - any one of the will do.
- A site devoted to Worcestershire sauce.
- A Victor Borge fan site.
- A site devoted to playing card art.
To my knowledge, none of these exist (And I've looked for a Victor Borge

Okay, if you're really "da man", Rob, find me a site devoted totally to
rodent-related clipart.

BTW, Rob, you still haven't found that "Cowntess" site...
Anyway, here's one that I HAVE found on the web: A minister's rant about
ET drawing folks away from the Bible. Can YOU find it?

I'm a very humble person when it comes to real life accomplishments, Rob.
Besides, people can only take so much of mice before they snap and start to
post random innuendoes on a newsgroup.
But, as an award for finding it, you get this free blender! It blends things,
see? Oh, by the way, I tried to make homemade paper in it one time for an art
project which didn't quiet work out so it may not blend too well...
People like blenders much more than free naked dances,

There really is one? Beats me. It certainly isn't listed anywhere I know of.

hmmm... http://www.HA!.com ... No response? Rob? What kind of crap is this?

My advice:
Use Yahoo when you need to find out something in a broad category, or find the best site in one
category. (Best Beck site, for example.)
Use Alta Vista or Infoseek when you want to find a *specific* phrase or title. (Example: lyrics for
Beck's "Burnt Orange Peel".)
Use Hotbot for the really tough nuts. They allow for Boolean searches, so you can make a search as
precise as you possibly can. (Example: "Jeffrey Johnson" AND "underwear" OR "boxers" AND "jpg" OR
"gif".)
If all else fails, try Lycos or Northern Lights.

I have no idea. I was just thinking up something really odd.

Alright, that's OK. If anyone else wants to see this site, run a search
on "return of e. t." at Altavista. You'll also find a video rental store
that specializes in films with child stars that carries Pod People
(Under the title "Return of E.T."

Sorry, Rob. You may be very knowledgeable on your searches, but in this
case Hotbot ain't gonna help you.
JSJ1TG, now, I don't know much about this sort of thing, but do pages have
to get 'registered' with individual engines, or how does that work?
