Florence Nightingale: English nurse/philanthropist 1820-1910.
Clara Barton: Founder of the American Red Cross Society 1821-1912.
Susan B. Anthony: American Suffragist 1820-1906

All famous women, presumably Florence or Clara fell in love with a patient
(or at least George "I am brainless....I am without a brain" Costanza thinks
so.) The conversation digresses to Susan B. Anthony who fought for women's
suffrage. George has lumped these famous women from the 1800's together.
Jerry confirms that George would have his hands full with Susan.

|> >Kramer: 10-4.
|> ^^^^^^ What does this mean ?

It is part of the "10" code, used by Police and Citizens Band (CB) radio
operators as a communication shorthand. 10-4 = "Roger, will comply",
or "you got it", or "yes that is correct" depending on context. Now
a part of American (non-radio) slang.

|> ^^^^^^ What does this mean ?

Fire/Police/Ambulance services have a number of codes they use over
radio in order to avoid the confusion of multiple common
sayings that mean the same thing.

10-4 = O.K., I understand what you just said.
(or if they are asked to do something)
O.K., I heard what you just said and will do that.
O.K., I will do that

(similar to the Airline/CB radio response of ROGER THAT)


other examples include 10-1 (Return to the station), 10-6(What`s your position),
10-8 (In service).

Alot of women history here.
Florence Nightengale was a nurse that helped wounded soldiers in the battlefield
during (forget which one) some war.

Clara Barton was a women who founded the Red Cross

I forget who Susan B Anothony was, but she`s another popular woman in American
history.

I hope I have this right, I don't remember my history that well

No, this was not Jerry, this was someone who knows how to change the
information in the header. Did you try fingering sein...@hollywood.edu?
And did you think that Jerry having an account at a college (hence the .edu)
was at all odd, anyway?

Still, the effect was cute, whoever did it.

My guess would be Dana Robert Haagensen of the Rensselaer Polytechnic

Well, as much as we would all like to believe this, consider the following:

1) I have read somewhere on the net, in a newusers group or somewhere, that
there are frequent claims in the fan groups and the like that the object of
the groups is lurking or posting under a very believable looking header.
They assure us that this is easy to forge and should be taken with a grain
of salt.

2) I tried talking and sending mail to this site. Both of these produced
the response 'unknown host'. I discussed it with the sysadmin at my site
who reiterated #1 above and to whom I forwarded the bounced mail for him
to decipher further.

3) As a student of the unique seinfeldian way of phrasing a sentence
(I'm an amateur comedian myself) and selecting and treating a topic
, I can say without a doubt that he would not have chosen to reveal him-
self with a post that said essentially nothing more than 'Oh yeah!?!'
If there were some sort of attack on his character that prompted a
response that was a clear and articulate stream of unmistakeable
seinfeldian prose, I could willingly suspend my disbelief. As it stands,
I find it all very unlikely.

4) Right now, Jerry is making commercials, tv shows and performing stand
up comedy. I doubt seriously whether he has the time, not to mention
the facilities to 'net around'. I also doubt that he has nothing better
to do than read posts about himself and his show. I don't dispute that
he has the inclination (after all, wasn't he supposed to be on prodigy?)
But as a very busy man, I doubt he has the time or computational resources
given the travel his job requires. If there are further posts under
this name (that is, frequent and bland) then I can only conclude that
a.t.s is the stage for an ill-conceived attempted hoax.

Just my 300 pesos.

I hate to sound stupid, but is this really Jerry Seinfeld? Some e-mail me
direct, as I don't normally follow this newsgroup. It's a late night. I'm
bored.

BTW, my fave episode is the one where George and Jerry take the limo intended
for a Nazi writer. A hoot. Seinfeld is second only to the Simpsons.

Wow, you're right!! What have I been thinking!! I need to do something

Like, hmmmm??? I've got it. I'm going to post "get a life" messages to
usenet newsgroups! Now, that would be fulfilling, wouldn't it?

Anyway, it seems that various episodes have a "rule" du jour, not just the
"Contest". How about we try to compile a list of them?
