Yet another value of mode ref joke: check out the latest *National
Enquirer* for eight signs by which you can tell whether your neighbor
is a "space alien." Please note that

	"...your neighbor would have to display most if not all
	of these traits before you can positively identify him [sic]
	as an alien."

and that if you think you've spotted such a being,

	"...take no action other than giving that alien support--
	through friendship, kindness, and neighborly good-will."

What I wonder about is that tech-nerds, like me, for instance, display
most of these signs (I lack only "an unusual object in my home which is
highly regarded and protected," which may be a communications device
("Yes, Zontar; I understand.")). Maybe I should have myself hypnotized
to find out just what sort of "space alien" I am? :->

			Fearing that this message would be too long with the
			proper number of :->,
