AND I ATTEMPT TO CLARIFY:

Don is abbreviating Outlook Express as OE, but OS is just as good considering the way Microsoft now marries all its programs to the operating system.

I think I speak for all when I claim that you're forgiven. - I can't
really count how many times that had happened with my mail-program at
home. luckily the program I use here at school doesn't seem to have this
kind of problem.

If they were unreadable, they turned back OK as I re-received them...

Stefan: The attachement (winmail.dat) was no virus but contains text
formatting information which can only be understood by MS Outlook. I
apologize to the list for the strange gibberish this produced. This
should not have happened, though, because I switched my Outlook to Plain
Text only. So I blame Bill Gates for it :-)

S?ren: They have kids, they are kissing, the marry, they know shame when
naked, the women have breasts, they write romantic love letters. But
they do not have sex?

Obviously there is no sex shown in the comics. There also is no sex
shown in any of Shakespeares plays. Does this mean we should suppose
that all of Shakespeares characters were asexual?

We do not see atoms. Or ultraviolet light. Or black holes. Does this
mean they do not exist? We can conclude they exist and even infer their
properties from evidence we *can* see. It's the same with the ducks
having sex: We see the effects and can - with reasonable probability -
conclude the existence of sex. This is true to the scientific method.

Hi all!

Lately Don Rosa's mailprogram went "berserk" and
sendt the same message 4 or 5 times. Things like
this happends, we all know that - don't we? So
this incident didn't cause any problems for Don
afterwards.

Anyway, when the exact same thing happened to me
last december, people like Rune Kristian Viken,
Georges Helm, Steven Rowe and Stefan Persson
accused me for doing it by purpose. Some of them
even called me a spem-terrorist and Steven Rowe
was talking about kill-filters.

I hope the last incident has proved beyond
reasonable doubt that I was *innocent* in
posting the same mail 4 times by purpose, and
that the "DCML-anti-spam-guerilla" was wrong
in their to-quick conclusions after that
incident.

So now we can all put that incident behind us
and look forward.

Actually it's a Christmas classic from 1940.
The main actress, Henny Skj?nberg (playing
Tante Pose herself) came from Stavanger!

I think it's called a "cheese-slicer".

Hi all!

I just realised that one of the actors in the
Norwegian movie "Tante Pose" was a guy called
Knut Wiegert. He played student Paul Waage.
Is he by any chanse a relative of our Swedish
friends Theresa and Benjamin Wiegert?

Sigvald :-)
Dan Rosenberg
To Sigvald and Anders,

Are you guys sure you were on the same trip together? I have to say, Sigvald, I think you're
being a little obsessive about meaningless details. For one thing, the word "marine" can be used
in English and The Marines and The Navy are two different entities (at least in the US, an
English-speaking country. I know, I know, countries don't speak). Perhaps the Norwegian word
for navy is Marine and that is what Anders was trying to convey. But again, a minor detail, which
really does nothing to derail from Anders' original account of his trip.
Furthermore, the words "slicer" and "cutter" are virtually interchangeable when preceded by the
word "cheese." A cheese-cutter and a cheese-slicer serve the exact same purpose: the slow,
deliberate destruction of delicious cheese for consumption. -D.

Although Barks didn't write any stories with both Donald and Mickey, he did
write a 4-page Gyro story which included Morte and Ferdie. Normally he
would have used HDL, but for a while the postal rules required at least 2
stories in each comic magazine, with separate characters in each story.
At this time Barks usually met the requirement in the US comics with a
24-page
Scrooge story (with Donald and HDL), and a 4-page Gyro story. Many of
these Gyro stories have no other recurring characters except Helper. The
story with Morte and Ferdie I think was about trapping lightning.
Best wishes,
Larry Giver.

Sounds like a wonderful encapsulation of the movie "Pleasantville".

A rather good movie, too!

Could someone please give more information about this very odd rule? When it
was stated and how long it lasted? And WHY postal officers dictated the
insides of comic magazines (any requirements for other types of mags?)?? And
how they were able even to do it?
How this effected to other comic books? I know Barks had to made changes to
some of his stories.

Timo

Don Rosa:
>>>...And the sun should be yellow. I've always wondered, even when I was
a kid, why people think the sun is yellow. I think it's only because when
we're lil' kids with crayons we don't want to leave the sun white in our
drawings. And then we read our comic books with those yellow suns. Even my
dear Mort Wisinger Superman comics always referred to a "yellow sun". And
yet ol' Sol is plain ol' white (colorless).

Actually, the sun *is* yellow! It's classified as a G-star (spectraltype),
depending on its temperature and chemical composition. A warmer star would
be blue, and a colder red. A white star is somewhat warmer than our sun
(about 10.000 degrees, centigrades or Kelvin, as compared to about 6.000
degrees), for example Sirius (or one of them, Sirius is a double star, if
I'm not remembering incorrectly)

To be even more specific, sun is a G2 V star, but for those more
interested, this is a very good link:
http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/scienceques2002/20021011.htm

So there! We can continue to make our suns yellow, and stay scientific at
the same time! :)
