"There once was a striped cat named Scooter,
Whose owner taught NT computer.
He lived in a trailer,
The size of a whaler,
With Blackboy, a cat who was cuter." -- Susan Sneed, 1981
"Tough titty," said the kitty,
"but the milk's okay!" -- Gary Creech, 1979
The trouble with a kitten is that
When it grows up, it's always a cat. -- Ogden Nash

Her fleece was white as snow,

Jeff was sure to go. -- Lisa Retzlaff, 1988

The computational sciences have slowly reached a level of recruitment
where they embrace virtually every facet of human existence. It is

In many ways a computer is similar to a woman. For one thing they hardly
ever do what you want them to, especially when you want them to do it.
Their logic is sometimes unfathomable -- their explanations equally as
incomprehensible. They work in many mysterious ways and only a few
are fortunate -- or unfortunate -- enough to understand them. Even with
all of these eccentricities, both computers and women are similar in
yet another way -- now that we have them, how could we ever live without
them?
-- An Unknown Philosopher
I need you, I want you,
But there's no way I'm ever going to love you.
But don't be sad,
'Cause two out of three ain't bad.
-- Meatloaf
