Greetings Saints in Jesus name!
On the 'net is "The Internet Oracle" that is hosted by
the University of Indiana's computer science department.
You as it a question, and it responds accordingly and
very humorously.....
The question asked was one that I pondered many a time...
about coffee and it's bad taste after it's been cooked
and cooked and cooked.... and the chemical reactions
thereof....
Any question asked of the "Oracle" always is followed
by a request of the Oracle for something in return for
the knowledge received.
Bro. "for all you coffee junkies out there" Tyler
PS - I'll be in Indianoplace, IN on monday..... I've
an interview with McMillan Computer Publishing
and might want to meet a couple of the IN saints.
If interested, I'll take mail forwarding off of
my prairienet account (tgnally@prairienet.org)
so that it doesn't bounce to work (where I won't
read it till after the weekend maybe)....

Sorry, compu-Oracle.... you're not a deity like your last line says....
