Urgent: Cosmology Group: 'Where is the Centre of the Universe?'

From: John Murphy on 20 Apr 2010 15:36 A LOST PROPERTY I left a small, grey case of roughly non-anthropic dimensions in the cloakroom at the last meeting of the Society. I believe that another member may have mistaken my case for his. At any rate, I was given a similar case which bears his name and contains a half-eaten apple and a book on solipsism. On no account should the flask inside the case be opened: it is of a special type and bears the legend "Pandora Project: Centre of Universe". The case should be returned to the Department of Experimental Cosmology, Grebe Foundation, University of Cambridge, whereby a substantial reward will will be paid for its return ("Don't go overboard on this." - Dr. Barnum.). Dr. Cyril Gripper, Director, Departmentof Experimental Cosmology, Cambridge University.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE I rather think they went that way and then this way and then that way and then another way, and then they they realised they had watched two many Westerns, and Sheriff Rawlings poured himself another whisky, leaned back, rested his boots on his desk, yawned, and said to his Deputy, 'Jeez, boy, they'll be here sooner or later. Your studies in stochastics for your new doctorate seem to show that they will never be here, but I don't understand stochastics and they don't understand stochastics and so they won't be able to turn up - except by accident'. And then the Sherrif thought he would like a curry and he knew his Deputy was much better than any normal intellectual because he knew how to cook, so he said, 'Jeez, boy,do you think you could do one of your curries?' And the Deputy happily assented to that, though he was upset that his boss had not gone to Harvard but he didn't really mind that because they got on so well together. As to the Four Horsemen, in some confusion, they sold their horses and made their living thereafter as preachers of the Apocolypse. They didn't think they were wrong to do so, because they were now penurious and dependent on the public purse, and because they were badly briefed and so had been unsure what to do and understood stochastics very well, they thought it both right and unlikely that Sheriff Rawlings would ever catch up with them. They didn't think it a bad idea, though, that they might meet up with him and his Deputy somewhere, and avid readers of cam.misc, they thought they might meet that Magwitch, too. -- Harbinger
