Submitted for your approval, the following scenario. A small, west coast
research lab, looking for a way to destroy the communication capabilities
of an unfriendly foreign nation. We meet now, Irving Finkelstein, slight of
hair, bald of mind, and innocently about to unleash the ultimate weapon --
upon his own kind. The time is now, the place is here, the story is true.
Follow us, now, into the realm of the sublime, the useless, the
overwhelming. Open the door, and join us in -- the bizarre zone

{doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee-doo-dee}

Yes, the ultimate weapon, under design at the cost of billions of dollars
and years of development, has unfortunately been unleashed upon the
unwilling innocents of our own Usenet. Net.bizarre, originally designed to
completely destroy the communication ability of our enemies in times of
national emergency, has unfortunately leaked out into our own communication
facilities.

I think we should seriously consider whether or not net.bizarre is an
abject failure -- one of those experiments that simply didn't work out. The
information in that group is overwhelming, not terribly interesting, and
doesn't even begin towards the bizarre... We should cut our losses before
the volume gets any worse -- the last thing this net needs is another
useless volume generator...

The question is -- we've stumbled into the bizarre zone. Can we find our
way home before its too late? Toto? Where are you, toto? 

Now, repeat after me, and click your heels three times -- "there's no place
like home, there's no place like home..."

[of course, every cloud has a silver lining -- net.bizarre has definitively
shown that there is the possibility for worse endings than an eternity
reading net.flame.....]

Son, you're mixing ponderables again
