Date: Mon, 27 Aug 2007 18:00:12 -0400 From: Eric Jablow <ejablow at cox.net> To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net> Subject: [WSFA] WWN Cc: Michael Walsh <MJW at press.jhu.edu> Reply-To: WSFA members <WSFAlist at KeithLynch.net> Today is the end of an era. The Weekly World News published its final issue today. There shall be no more tales of Bat Boy or P'lod the space alien. We shall see no more reports of the Hubble Telescope taking pictures of Heaven. And so, the world is a little more sad. Meanwhile, in the stupid naming front, Lockheed-Martin is demonstrating a robotic Humvee-sized vehicle named the Multifunction Utility/Logistics and Equipment vehicle, or M.U.L.E. The faint whirring noise you may be hearing comes from the grave of the late Dan[i] Bunten. Those of you who had Atari 800s or Commodore 64s know why. -- Respectfully, Eric Jablow
