For those with an interest in humour and literature, I have seen a cogent argument mounted that the Goons type of humour can be traced back to Shakespeare and further even than that - to the early Saxon delight in puns, wordplay, riddles and nonsense! -- Robert Hart [EMAIL PROTECTED] +61 (0)438 385 533 http://www.hart.wattle.id.au _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
