Vatican updates list of mortal sins

God *DID* Provide, but somebody tripped

Moses: The Lord, the Lord Jehovah has given unto you these fifteen...

[drops one of the tablets] *&#^CRASH&$%#@

Moses: Oy! Ten! Ten commandments for all to obey!

--History of the World: Part I (1981)

Sin and go no more

There's no sin in Cincinnati. It's all across the river in Newport, KY. That's where the red light district and cheap booze is.

There are too many sinners out there. Where's an inquisition when we need one?

Joan of Arc --- Wasn't she the patron saint of welding?

We're "earth centric". Galileo was wrong-headed. Copernicus, be damned.

Newton's Social Laws of Sin:

I. A physical body will remain at rest, or continue to move at a constant velocity, unless a sin acts upon it.

II. The net sin on a body is equal to its mass* multiplied by its acceleration.

III. To every sin there is an equal and opposite sin.

* We Catholics know about masses, don't we? Be there or be square.

If anyone is going to foster any more sin lists, I'll have to take the mortal use of my name personally.

Microsoft tries to CTRL-W WordPerfect lawsuit again

The first thing we do is kill all of the lawyers

Back in the days of Word Perfect 6 for Windows 3.11, it was easy to install. It was so easy that many law firms would buy one copy ... and plaster it on all of their computers. Novell/Wordperfect should sue the law firms instead.

No wonder Word Perfect didn't make any money, even after designing paragraphs, footnotes and citations to be easily used by the Legal Industry.

I agree that the Novell version was a ruined piece of software, but even the new Corel version doesn't always work and play well with others.

Woid Poifect

Word Perfect 10 still allows adding/deleting particular codes.

This is still a Microsoft Office free zone over here, in spite of receiving assorted .DOC files in e-mail messages. What's wrong with plain text??

I'm thinking of returning Word Perfect 6 files from my DOS machine.

I'm not ... repaginating the whole word document ... after making a small change.
