- CTHULHU GIVE ME STRENGTH!!! Does NO ONE learn how to use encyclopedias
- any more? One would think some nearly clueless newbie was posting an exam
- or homework question to the net, because he could think of no way of discover-
- ing the answer that doesn't waste bandwidth. Hint: Look them up in the
- _Britannica_ next time. Or a text-book with a title like "History of
- Western Philosophy." Or anything else than this.
