There is very good and cheap wine in Portugal, uh? Same in Argentina. Please, come here and taste it. The paper goes in another mail.

I had just checked the Fractint List having had a wonderful party tasting the new red wine! The problem is that I *thought* I was being amusing with the asterisks, it's always the way - that which you think is screamingly funny when you're drunk is really rather dreadful when you're sober! Sorry to inflict it on you people! In any case it was so far off topic that I should have known better. So, formally, Ricardo. As a born sceptic I would be very interested in your paper if you can send it to me at curnow@sapo.pt I can use Altavista's babelfish program to make a first pass translation and in any case, as I live in Portugal, I should be able to make good sense of it. Grovel, grovel. (Hic!)

My English is good, but colloquial expressions bewilder me. For example, I don't understand the phrase about "babelfish", and then the *'s were a bit confusing... Anyway, I think you are asking me to send you the paper. Do you read Spanish? Please, confirm your request. Regards. R.

Hey, we've all got babelfish haven't we. Absolutely b*gg*r *ll about fr*ct*ls b*t wh*t th* h*ll. S*rry * s*dd*n *tt*ck *f *st*r*sks. Chris Curnow From: Ricardo Forno I once wrote a little paper (regrettably in Spanish) in which I *demonstrate* that horoscopes tell the truth (to some extent). Of course, the "demonstration" relies on the fact that horoscopes are made public, and then they are (also to some extent) self-fulfilling.
