Ha ha, you once told me there were no poets here :) No, there are some jokes in that book that are "student"-ish in style, but that joke, if it is a joke, isn't in line with those.

But OK: there is no truth to that statement? -- Emanuel Berg, programmer-for-rent. CV, projects, etc at uXu underground experts united: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
