reporting only the most quirky and hilarious of "scientific"
research. (1 per week)
* Views of the World: a daily editorial cartoon from newspapers
around the globe. (6 per week)

A note on e-mail bounces: Unfortunately, the e-mail system is beyond
our control, and sometimes it is less than reliable. We keep ClariNet
staff on the mailing lists through various paths to ensure that the
mail is getting out to central servers. Beyond that, e-mail troubles
are something we can do little about. You have to give us an address
that will get it to you reliably. At $10/year, we can't handle
everybody's bounced e-mail problems personally.
COMICS NOTE
Dilbert, Bizzaro and Views of the World are available in MIME format.
There are six per week of each comic, and each message is around 40K
in length. Do not order Dilbert unless you can handle this. See the
MIME frequently asked questions list for information on how to get
MIME handling software.
