On this list? As well ask if we have to sit here breathing.

(Those of us who still require oxygen and haven't uploaded into their
Linux boxes, that is. I'd never do it: I like food too much.)

I don't understand people who can last a day, hell, a *week* without
learning something yet don't go mad with boredom. (I can't understand
people who don't read for pleasure, either --- probably a trait I
share with most of the members of this list).

I fitted a small fridge in a desk drawer once. Useful for keeping
cold caffeinated stuff on hand. :)

(The drawer needed a bit of mutilation to expose the back and front of
the fridge... ideally it'd have been a top-opening fridge, but
I didn't have one to hand.)
