Don't fight it, mimus...Just lie down and try to relax: >_'Way_ past time to go to bed . . . . > >When you find yourself browsing through stuff like this: > >http://ufbir.ifas.ufl.edu/ Years from now, when interested Usenet historians are reading this, they're going to wonder what this link led to. I guess I'm going to have to explain it for them... Hello, people of the future! I am Wavy G. I am dead now, but I assure you, in my day, I was quite the Usenet "jack-a-dandy." I made many a funny post in my day, and I had quite a few female followers! At any rate, this no-doubt dead link you are looking at, and frustratingly trying to link to, was, in our time, a link to an active "website." Our friend "mimus" (God rest his soul) thought it would be hilarious to post an unexplained link to it. Sure it was funny in our time, but you,--well, I'm sure you are scratching your collective heads, saying, "What the hell was THAT supposed to be???" So, as a denizen of the past, I give you (the people of the future) a brief summary of what exactly our deceased friend "mimus" was trying to show us. Apparently, it is a list of slow-loading links to various "chapters" of an entomology and nematology "website" from the University of Florida. So, apparently, Mr. or Mrs. Mimus thought it would be necessary to link to this list, for some reason, probably for humourous reasons. So, in summary, this is 2007. I am Wavy G. G.W. Bush is still "President," "Finger 11" is still a popular group, and Uzbekistan is still its own sovereign nation. Love, Wavy G -- "Memo to God: Last two things to do: (1) Cancel Wavy. (2) Turn out the lights." --Mimus submits a rewrite for the ending of The Bible. ***************************************** * * * Wavy G * * mail me at: * * godsspeciallamb @ gmail.com * * * * * *****************************************

Insect records, or record insects. Wotever. Which I'm sure the future will appreciate, if only for its evidence of the apparently small, feeble, slow and unintelligent insects we faced in our own day. > So, in summary, this is 2007.

I still think grass spiders-- _Agelenopsis_, IIRC-- beat everything. They canter along walls, include internal house walls, like race-horses. -- tinmimus99@hotmail.com smeeter 11 or maybe 12 mp 10 mhm 29x13 Fall off and stay awhile. < Old Western greetin'
