<HTML>Would you believe it? I look up a friend's website, discover it has moved to a new URL (www.nyder.com, for those who insist on checking), and lo and behold, the name Friday Jones appears among the credits. So people really _are_ named after days of the week. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Incidentally, it's also a superbly weird website which will be of particular interest to anyone here who's also a fan of H P Lovecraft. See Cthulhu as you've never seen him before!</HTML>

<HTML>Becuase there isn't a neutral gender pronoun singular for humans. You cna't realy use 'it', can you. I'm on a fifty-fifty anyways.
Or something...</HTML>

<HTML>People have tried. It has to evolve rather than be dictated. 'Ms' is a point in case.</HTML>

<HTML>Good point. I must admit I don't care for "Ms", feminist though I am. I've been known to inform people that I am not a manuscript.</HTML>

<HTML>Yeah, but 'Ms' is damned useful if you don't know somebody and don't like to presume when writing to them for the first time.</HTML>

<HTML>Never ask a ChronoGuard that question! As far as I'm concerned, I'm 38, but by your reckoning I'm actually 247. I don't look either... ;-)
