Note: I do not want to see any more mail telling me that my jokes/articles
got truncated. I know about the white space problem now, so I don't want to
hear about it anymore. And, since I know you're expecting a joke:

Some research scientists were investigating the effects of various drugs,
mostly hallucinogenics, on a certain variety of sea gulls. Terns, to be
specific. What they discovered was that all of the birds had lost their
sense of up-down and direction. They all lay on the ground, sideways, with
one wing up in the air, trying desperately to fly. Sadly, the only result
was that they scooted along digging little furrows in the sand with their
bills. The scientists reported that in their investigation they had left
no tern unstoned.
