the issue, so don't blame him for the quality or content of the submissions.

|
|
So, here we are with Issue #12! Things are progressing nicely in the
|
|
M00se Illuminati. We continue to expand, some goals are being set, interesting
|
|
activities are being carried out.
|
|
One thing you may be interested in is the description of CHAOS Engineering
|
|
in M00se.Info. I intend to update the file a bit myself, and then anybody who
|
|
wants the new version can ask me for it. If enough people want it, I'll just
|
|
send it out along the distribution net.
|
|
Which brings us to the one problem we have. Virtually nobody is answering
|
|
the question about distributors. Once again, we need one person at each node
|
|
to distribute for that node, and we need to know if that person is also willing
|
|
to forward a copy to the next major server node in line. We want answers from
|
|
those who are alone at a node; even if you won't be distributing to others at
|
|
your own node, are you willing to send a copy along to the next node in line?
|
|
PLEASE get back to me on this ASAP, Kamikaze can't design a new MDNET without
|
|
this information. Since the current one has holes in it, and some people may
|
|
not be getting their issues, we want to take care of this as soon as possible.

******************************* EVENTS AND NEWS ********************************

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
As I said above, the M00se Illuminati keeps growing. And now the day is
|
|
in sight when we shall reach 100 network chapters. I hereby suggest that when
|
|
we do, we have a Mega-Thr0ng-a-Thong at the University of Hartford, here in CT.
|
|
I will begin looking into hotels and campgrounds in the area, to get ideas of
|
|
prices in the area. The Science Fiction Society here at UHa will reserve a
|
|
good-sized room for a day. And when we reach 100 chapters, we'll start working
|
|
on an actual date.
|
|
Whaddaya all think?

GOOD ENOUGH FOR JESUS
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Jesus is my guidance
|
|
he tells me what is true
|
|
he tells me what to think
|
|
he tells me what to do
|
|
he tells me what i'm hearing
|
|
he tells me what i see
|
|
and if it's good enough for Jesus,
|
|
it's good enough for me.
|
|
|
|
Jesus healed the faithful
|
|
back in the Good Old Days.
|
|
He didn't have to do surgery
|
|
he didn't need X-rays
|
|
and he didn't need to medicine
|
|
to cure their infirmity
|
|
and if faith-healing's good enough for Jesus
|
|
it's good enough for me.
|
|
|
|
Those Evil Pawns of Satan
|
|
are publishing books of sin
|
|
books like 'Stuart Little'
|
|
and 'Huckelberry Finn'
|
|
and so what if this is America
|
|
so what if the press is free
|
|
if censorship's good enough for Jesus
|
|
it's good enough for me.
|
|
|
|
That heretic Charles Darwin
|
|
said Creation was just a fable
|
|
he said we evolved from monkeys
|
|
not from Adam, Eve, nor Abel
|
|
and so what if Galton proved it,
|
|
quite irrefutably
|
|
if Creationism's good enough for Jesus
|
|
it's good enough for me.
|
|
|
|
A man called Galileo
|
|
said the Earth goes 'round the Sun
|
|
and the Earth is just a planet
|
|
and not the only one
|
|
and so what if Kepler proved it
|
|
in the Seventeenth century
|
|
if Geocentrism's good enough for Jesus
|
|
it's good enough for me.
|
|
|
|
Yes Jesus is our savior
|
|
he showed us the way
|
|
and now it's our duty to save you
|
|
so you'd better do what we say
|
|
and if you don't want to go along with it
|
|
we have ways of forcing you to
|
|
cause if it's good enough for Jesus
|
|
it's good enough for you.

Oh, by the way, The treasurer of this chapter, collected dues from the
|
|
Poobah, and Bull Moose, (who promptly wrote him checks) and convinced the
|
|
ATM to triple his account. He thanks you dearly, and will refer the bank
|
|
manager to you, if problems arise. :-)

<< This note came from the CHAOS Engineer, giving a little bit of hope that
|
|
Sabre is still alive... >>
|
|
|
|
Today I did sight the rare and Elusive m00se whom is called Sabre.
|
|
This was indeed a suprise, as he has been reputed to have been kidnapped
|
|
by the brotherhood of evil relayers. This in fact is not true, as the straight
|
|
p00p from the m00se's mouth did indicate otherwise. He has in fact been
|
|
enslaved by the Boston Univeristy Bookstore. further sightings will be
|
|
reported.
