[In the past I've refrained from forwarding issues of The Internet Index to the
Fun_People list because I thought it missed the most important part of the
index that inspired it... the wry comparisons.  This issue (#8) does better on
that count, although there still are a few spots that feel like a straight line
waiting for the punch line... -psl]
