  9376.      Moose and Hoser "Canadian Humor" Chat                                 
  9377.            MooseChat is an echo for anyone who wants to attempt witty,
  9378.           humorous, or just plain silly messages. Many distinguished
  9379.           moose, Hosers from the Great White North, and even famous
  9380.           Performance Artists like Saddam Hussein and George Bush
  9381.           have all frequented MooseChat at one time or another. A
  9382.           moose- like angle, alias, or shtick is appreciated but not
  9383.           necessary. Moose sometimes stray into serious topics and
  9384.           political satire is often seen, but those attempting serious
  9385.           discussion may need to survive receiving silly replies.
  9386.           The MooseChat "echo theme" is to disseminate knowledge about
  9387.           the noble moose, to discuss attributes of moose we have
  9388.           known and admired, and to enter messages which are a bit
  9389.           more silly or offbeat than one finds in most other echoes.

  11022.           issues (vendors, users, processes, etc.) is not.  We are,
  11023.           first and foremost, trying to be helpful - things which
  11024.           invade this "atmosphere" are undesirable and may result

  11367.      Physics Fidonet Conference                                            
  11368.            The Physics Fidonet Conference is devoted primarily to
  11369.           the discussion of physics itself, physics teaching, and
  11370.           physics-related issues that affect public policy and the
  11371.           environment.  Our goal is to furnish a forum where those
  11372.           with a casual interest in physics can have their questions
  11373.           answered, and those with a professional interest can share
  11374.           their expertise and curiosity with others. Knowledge of
  11375.           physics, and how it relates to the world around us, is becoming
  11376.           central to participation in our increasingly technical society.
  11377.           Our purpose here is to be part of a forum that can help
  11378.           to improve and refine that knowledge.  Everyone is welcome
  11379.           to participate in this conference: students, teachers, scientists,
  11380.           and anyone else with an interest in the areas we cover.

  11887.           of BASIC is permitted, though discussion of Power Basic
  11888.           should be directed to the POWER_BAS echo and discussion
  11889.           of Visual Basic to the VISUAL_BASIC echo.  The echo is carried
  11890.           internationally and its participants are scattered throughout
  11891.           the world.  As such, and since international calling is
  11892.           expensive, off-topic message restrictions are strictly enforced.
  11893.            Members of the conference include many individuals who
  11894.           are very experienced in the use of QuickBASIC including
  11895.           those who have written a variety of QuickBASIC related utilities.
  11896.            New members and novice users are welcome and encouraged
  11897.           to share their experiences and opinions.

  12628.      Born at Sea, Naval research!                                          
  12629.            It turns out that the term "son of a gun" is actually a
  12630.           far worse insult than "son of a bitch."  A son of a bitch
  12631.           at least knows who his mother was.  A son of a gun was an
  12632.           infant found nestled in the coils of ropes under the cannons
  12633.           on a Naval vessel. The "ladies" of the port would be smuggled
  12634.           on board the ship, and could be kept hidden for weeks or
  12635.           months, often giving birth on board the ship.  When the
  12636.           officers discovered the child, it would be turned over to
  12637.           the Naval orphanage with the notation in the log of "found
  12638.           under a gun." And that is the most probable source of the
  12639.           surname Seaborn.
