I guess Magnus didn't really want to mail this to the ding mailing list, but since he did, I might as well answer here. (For the non-Norwegian-speaking people out there -- you can tell that that was a question by the way the sentence is cleverly ended with a question mark.) The FAQ (but less frequently answered question) is -- "What *is* that?". It's a line from a poem by Janet Frame, from the book _Living in the Maniototo_. The poem deals with how some people seem to live and love and stuff, and other people use, uh, things (like pets) to avoid living. As antidotes; like milk. It's my way of subliminally bumming out millions of people -- they don't know why they get depressed, but they do anyway. A psychic study recently finished shows that 78% of the people who read something I've written feel "irritable", "sad" or "suicidal". I attribute that to the signature, of course. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread
