Recent exchange with WaMu bank rep on phone:

WaMu: (lots of attitude) I guess I will have to pull up the ARCHIVES.
Me: (patience gone) Maybe I should hang up and talk to someone else. It sounds like that is a lot of trouble and doing it will just annoy you.
WaMu: Oh no. That's not why.

Fact of the Moment
It takes an estimated 2,893 licks to reach the center of a Tootsie Roll pop.
The Door Magazine. Now you know!
Update: in today's comments, Ranjit claims to have spotted a digital lick counter. Plus, it's his birthday. Yay Ranjit! Happy Birthday!

History of the Moment
AtariArchives.org has lots of old computer magazines scanned in, including most recently The Best of Creative Computing Vol. 2, circa 1977. Interesting to see what computing was like over 25 years ago! I also have admired its sister site, the Classic Computer Magazine Archive, which has a full run of my old favorite "Antic"...MAN does seeing the covers for that magazine around 85-86 bring me back...
