I am as much for a joke as anybody else, but could you all please
*consider* stopping this cascade?? It is cute up to a point, but now it has
gone on for weeks. It will undoubtedly drive people away from the Oracle
and this newsgroup....BTW we need to post the FAQ more.

Sorry about that. If I'd known how old it was I wouldn't've
ressurected it. My apologies.

Is there a woodchuck-eating carnivore?

At present I'm considering the specifics of a new theory that would tie in the
recent rash of cascades (the majority of the posts in this group as of late),
the fact that the majority of the answers to Oracular questions are stunningly
unfunny, and Hootie selling 11 million copies of their debut album.

Look for my thesis in hardcover at a bookstore near you in a few months.

I'm sorry, but for posting this response I must place you under
arrest, on the authority of the Oracle Himself. You are hereby
charged with attempting to instigate a cascade; should a cascade
begin, the charge will be upgraded to first-degree cascading (a
felony). Agents of the Oracle will arrive shortly to collect you
and lock you up. Note that, according to terms of international
racketeering and "zero tolerance" laws, we have elected to skip
all trials and hearings in this case, instead proceeding directly
to sentencing. When you arrive in Indiana, the Oracle will sentence
you to 27 years at hard labor, with nothing to eat but Spam (tm)
twice daily. I know this seems harsh, but at this point it's
necessary.

If anyone responds to THIS post in a cascade-inducing manner, they'll
get 27 years as well, but they'll be forced to eat Spam (tm) THREE
times daily. You HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!

27 years? I doubt any cascader would make it that long. Watch:

Hardend Criminal: So, what'ca in for?
Cascader: Your mothers a whore?
[Hardend Criminal pulls out a shank]
Hardened Criminal: What'ch you say, Mother&*$#!
[Cascader dies before he can say: "It's calm on the bay with Mort Ducker?"]

Kinda fitting though....
