Pokemon

Hello sublist, here comes a story which was recently seen in German TV (in the so called Harald Schmidt show). I try to translate into English. Best wishes Otto ***************************************** A recent opinion poll in Germany has shown that German parents read less and less books (or fairy tales) to their children. This is a very sad development. However, this tendency can be well explained and forgiven since... (see below). Suppose that a father reads to his small child the fairy tale "Froschkoenig" (i.e. the king who was transformed by a witch into a frog) and if he comes to the sentence saying: "And when the princess kissed the ugly looking frog then all of a sudden the frog became a most beautiful prince". And then the child will ask the following question: "And this Pokemon cannot do anything else???"

Sublist

Hello subset of TC6 delegates, we have installed a sublist of TC6 delegates. Namely those who actively confessed that they don't protest too much against some nontechnical stuff. (The list includes also those of you who had contributed in recent years by means of some jokes etc.). Nevertheless the list is surprisingly short. You can use the list with the following address: ifip-tc6sublist(a)informatik.rwth-aachen.de If you want to unsubscribe: please send me a short message. As a starting nontechnical thing I would like to give you the decryption of LUFTHANSA LUFTHANSA means: Let Us Fuck The Horse As No Steward Available. As an explanation: Lufthansa is known for its habit to hire either old stewardesses or homosexual stewards. Best wishes Otto
