| Nhu knew new NU gnu Nu, noo?
It means that Madame Nhu (you remember her, don't you) was
acquainted with an animal at Northeastern University named
for a letter of the Greek alphabet, and the speaker of the
sentence is questioning the listener for acknowledgement with
a common Yiddish expression, noo.
Well, it's not the same, but at least they're almost homonyms.
Aye, I eye ai.
Yes, Skipper, this sailor is watching the 3-toed sloth.
Wun won one.
The Chinese fellow was successful this time, though he may
have lost before.

has just set new marks in the production of such disks.

is called the Andover Village Improvement Society. Unfortunately,
there never was a trip round the Andover conservation lands organised
by a rental car company for French Canadians, with an advisory pamphlet

(wasn't this in here before?)
HAD had had "had"; Had had had "had had"; "had had" had had the
instructor's approval.
Henry A Davis wrote "had" on his paper and Hadley wrote "had had"
since "had had" was correct.

| There is a classic poem in Japanese, some number of centuries or
millenia old, which contains just one Chinese character repeated
twelve times. The meaning is "A lion's child is a cub; a cat's
child is a kitten." (I might have that backwards. No, that only
SOUNDS funny; it's really true.)
Just a couple of hundred years ago, a famous artist produced a famous
woodcut depicting an old man teaching this poem to a young boy.
Anyway, for all of you *****s who put accented vowels and cedilla-c's
and other funny characters in your postings ... those things which
make my terminal eat the funny character, eat the following good
character, decide that the two do not form a valid Kanji, wait five
seconds (elapsed real irritating time) and then put out a square box
with an X through it ... for all you people who keep me waiting to
get such nonsense and try to figure out what you wrote, I ought'a
put the real Kanji for that poem in this message, and see what it
does to YOUR terminal.

| One I came across recently o'er the net (sorry if this has already
appeared.)
Bulldogs bulldogs bulldogs fight fight fight.
Assuming this is a statement, and not a sporting chant, what can
you say about the bulldogs. And what logical implication (if any) exists
between the above statement, and:
Bulldogs bulldogs bulldogs bulldogs fight fight fight fight.
?

Andrew
