On this date in 1953 a tornado hit Worcester, Massachusetts, killing
94 people.

Was that caused by global warming or cooling, or by ignorant Democrats
?:-)

None of the above. It may have been caused by Jim Thompson having one too
many early Saturday morning Bloody Marys before sitting down at the
keyboard.

Nope. Sunday brunch is the designated day for Bloody Marys ;-)

Caused by the sun. It's an unstable nuclear reaction.
It should be replaced by a regulated light and heat source. :P

I'm pretty sure it was George W.'s fault.

Of course. He was already quite the terrorist, only a month short of

I think it was a really clever prank by MIT students, in one of the few
times that MIT people took notice of WPI. Or it was WPI students going
after MIT, but they missed.

You found us out ;-)

Actually I've always thought highly of WPI... one of those nice little
schools teaching strong fundamentals of engineering.

Likewise Harvey Mudd (The Claremont Colleges), Rose-Hulman Institute
of Technology (Indiana) and Rochester Institute of Technology.

Then there's Tufts... my wife worked at EG&G and Honeywell while I
attended MIT. She considered Tufts graduates to be the dumbest
engineers on the face of the earth ;-)

I never see that word without remembering the story of the fellow that had
been raised on the east coast and loved nothing more for dinner than scrod.
It was his favorite and he had it a couple of times a week.

His company transferred him to the Left Coast and we just don't call it that
out here, nor do we have anything that is identical.

He gets called back for a conference to the head office after a year without
his favorite dish, and all he can think about is a scrod dinner. He gets to
JFK, hops in a taxi and asks the cabbie if he knows where he can get scrod.

The cabbie looks back and says, "Buddy, I've hoid t'at question ten t'ousand
times, but that's the foist time I've ever hoid it in the plupoifect
subjunctive."

they can argue for all of eternity as to who gets to set the thermostat.
