Quite brilliant

**********************************************
The following haiku is from Barbara, who had her physics final last
Friday. So nonetheless, hating the media was not top of mind. But despite her
F=m*a craziness, she wrote a physics haiku:

Gravity pulls me,
Textbook equals mass times thought.
When is vacation?

I believe this applies to all my friends who are experiencing or have
finished exam hell. Good luck to you all!

My co-worked, Mary Alice, is going to New Zealand. And if that isn't cool enough, she is going to Zorb. What is Zorbing? Check out this link. www.zorb.com Well, for those not on a DSL, I will give you the dictionary definition of Zorbing (they say it is in the Concise OED, but I don't know whether I believe that or not): (n) a sport in which a participant is secured insidean inner capsule in a large, transparent ball, which is then rolled around the ground or downhill. Origin 1990s: invented word from zorb (the name of the ball used in this activity).

Now, I want go Zorbing too - but it's not in the US yet. Anyone else wanna go with me to another country to try Zorbing?
