Here is the fact of the week, maybe even the fact of the month.
According to probably reliable sources, the Coca-Cola people are experiencing
severe marketing anxiety in China.
The words "Coca-Cola" translate into Chinese as either (depending
on the inflection) "wax-fattened mare" or "bite the wax tadpole".
Bite the wax tadpole.
There is a sort of rough justice, is there not?
The trouble with this fact, as lovely as it is, is that it's hard
to get a whole column out of it. I'd like to teach the world to bite a wax
tadpole. Coke -- it's the real wax-fattened mare. Not bad, but broad

The big problem with pornography is defining it. You can't just
say it's pictures of people naked. For example, you have these primitive
African tribes that exist by chasing the wildebeest on foot, and they have
to go around largely naked, because, as the old tribal saying goes: "N'wam
k'honi soit qui mali," which means, "If you think you can catch a wildebeest
in this climate and wear clothes at the same time, then I have some beach
front property in the desert region of Northern Mali that you may be
interested in."
So it's not considered pornographic when National Geographic publishes
color photographs of these people hunting the wildebeest naked, or pounding
one rock onto another rock for some primitive reason naked, or whatever.
But if National Geographic were to publish an article entitled "The Girls
of the California Junior College System Hunt the Wildebeest Naked," some
people would call it pornography. But others would not. And still others,
such as the Spectacularly Rev. Jerry Falwell, would get upset about seeing
the wildebeest naked.

There was once a programmer who was attached to the court of the
warlord of Wu. The warlord asked the programmer: "Which is easier to design:
an accounting package or an operating system?"
"An operating system," replied the programmer.
The warlord uttered an exclamation of disbelief. "Surely an
accounting package is trivial next to the complexity of an operating
system," he said.
"Not so," said the programmer, "when designing an accounting package,
the programmer operates as a mediator between people having different ideas:
how it must operate, how its reports must appear, and how it must conform to
the tax laws. By contrast, an operating system is not limited my outside
appearances. When designing an operating system, the programmer seeks the
simplest harmony between machine and ideas. This is why an operating system
is easier to design."
The warlord of Wu nodded and smiled. "That is all good and well, but
which is easier to debug?"
The programmer made no reply.

Lobster:
Everyone loves these delectable crustaceans, but many cooks are
squeamish about placing them into boiling water alive, which is the only
proper method of preparing them. Frankly, the easiest way to eliminate your
guilt is to establish theirs by putting them on trial before they're cooked.
The fact is, lobsters are among the most ferocious predators on the sea
floor, and you're helping reduce crime in the reefs. Grasp the lobster
behind the head, look it right in its unmistakably guilty eyestalks and say,
"Where were you on the night of the 21st?", then flourish a picture of a
scallop or a sole and shout, "Perhaps this will refresh that crude neural
apparatus you call a memory!" The lobster will squirm noticeably. It may

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves And as in uffish thought he stood
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe. The Jabberwock, with eyes aflame
All mimsy were the borogroves Came whuffling through the tulgey wood
And the mome raths outgrabe. And burbled as it came!
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! One! Two! One! Two!
The jaws that bite, and through and through
the claws that catch! The vorpal blade went snicker-snack.
Beware the Jubjub bird, He left it dead, and took its head,
And shun the frumious Bandersnatch!" And went galumphing back.
He took his vorpal sword in hand "Hast thou slain the Jabberwock?
Long time the manxome foe he sought. Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
So rested he by the tumtum tree Oh frabjous day! Calooh! Callay!"
And stood awhile in thought. He chortled in his joy.

celebrating the relaxation of his curfew by attending a late-night campus
party. Soon after arriving, he was captivated by a beautiful coed and
eased into a conversation with her by asking if she met many dates at
parties.
"Oh, I have a three point eight, so I'm much more attracted to the
strong academic types than to the dumb party animals," she said. "What's
