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.

So I'm the only one who thought he had just found a disclaimer on a
product of some kind, and was using it for a .sig?

     Politicians and diapers have one thing in common.  They should both be
		   changed regularly and for the same reason.

I thought Lars was cat people and was showing his affection, just I
couldn't understand what it actually meant :-)  

Are you cat people, Lars?

Hmm...  I'd love to see the gnus logo on a carton of milk...

I do think that Lars has scheduled underwear first.  Seems like a
continual downgrade.  I like it.

Here in the US, we had a trend for a while of putting lost children
advertisements on milk cartons...  "Have you seen this child?
Call..."

We could do "Have you seen this Newsreader?  Visit
http://www.gnus.org".  I can just picture Lars' effort into
researching prices for shipping over seas of refrigerated,
heavily-custom-controlled food substances....

Me too.  When I moved away from my parents', my cat stayed with them,
'cause I'm away from home too much (most days I'm only home for
sleeping).  Then, a few months ago, she passed away.  Reached the
biblical age of 21!

We all miss being dominated by our home tigress, for sure!
