Subject:	Les étudiants en grève contre BA/MA
	Bonjour la France ! Peut-être que vous avez entendu, mais il y a des projets d'introduire des frais pour les étudiants dans divers Länder d'Allemagne. Et contrairement à la France, il n'y a presque pas de bourses ici, ce qui rend la chose très problématique pour ceux qui n'ont pas des parents qui peuvent financer et ceux qui doivent déjà travailler pour pouvoir vivre une vie qui n'est pas juste composée d'études. En tout cas il y a une grande démonstration samedi à Francfort, Berlin et Leipzig qui doivent être reproduites à l'échelle européeenne aussi. A ce qui nous a été dit, il y a 22 universités en France qui sont en grève contre l'introduction du système de Bachelor et Master (Projet Bologna). Quelqu'un pour confirmer ?

A sheet of paper crossed my desk the other day and as I read it, realization of a basic truth came over me. So simple! So obvious we couldn't see it. John Knivlen, Chairman of Polamar Repeater Club, an amateur radio group, had discovered how IC circuits work. He says that smoke is the thing that makes ICs work because every time you let the smoke out of an IC circuit, it stops working. He claims to have verified this with thorough testing.
I was flabbergasted! Of course! Smoke makes all things electrical work. Remember the last time smoke escaped from your Lucas voltage regulator Didn't it quit working? I sat and smiled like an idiot as more of the truth dawned. It's the wiring harness that carries the smoke from one device to another in your Mini, MG or Jag. And when the harness springs a leak, it lets the smoke out of everything at once, and then nothing works. The starter motor requires large quantities of smoke to operate properly, and that's why the wire going to it is so large.
Feeling very smug, I continued to expand my hypothesis. Why are Lucas electronics more likely to leak than say Bosch? Hmmm... Aha!!! Lucas is British, and all things British leak! British convertible tops leak water, British engines leak oil, British displacer units leak hydrostatic fluid, and I might add Brititsh tires leak air, and the British defense unit leaks secrets... so naturally British electronics leak smoke.
[Ummm ... IC circuits? Integrated circuit circuits?]
