The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Why ask why?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} The Oracle has considered your surprisingly good, almost adequate,
} philosophical question and is reminded of the parable of the drunk fish
} of Arabia.
}
} One day in a desert land many miles away many centuries ago there was
} an unhappy traveller. This man had worked honestly and hard since he
} was young, and verily all he had to show for it were a few gold pieces
} and the clothes on his back. "Oh verily, what is the point?" he was
} heard to moan, and he decided to get well and truly drunk.
}
} Using his last gold pieces he bought a goatskin of wine. But upon
} tasting the wine, he exclaimed "ptooi ptooi, this wine tastes sour" and
} verily he did not drink it, and lo! he did not get drunk.
}
} Many miles across the desert later, he came across a fish lying in the
} sand. "Hey! can you give me a hand" gasped the fish, "I'm gonna croak
} if I don't get some water soon."
}
} The unhappy traveller was extremely taken aback by a fish lying in the
} sand who talketh, and exclaimed "Why? O fish, why are you in the
} desert? and why can you talketh?"
}
} And lo! the fish answered "If you don't mind, we'll leave the 'why'
} questions until later and get me to some water or the 'why' of it all
} will become a bit academic."
}
} The unhappy traveller said "The only water I have is this extremely bad
} wine in this goatskin."
}
} "Any port in a storm" punned the fish badly. The unhappy traveller then
} put the fish into the goatskin, threw the goatskin over his shoulder
} and continued on his unhappy way.
}
} And lo! within minutes there was the sound of a great fishy merrymaking
} from the goatskin, and there was much fishy laughing and joking and
} singing of 'Knees up Mother Brown'. The villagers around marvelled at
} this man who carried such fishy sounds of joy wherever he went, and
} though the traveller's heart was heavy, he bought happiness to everyone
} he met. And there was much rejoicing and standing him of drinks and
} meals and roofs above his head, and lo! did his fame spread across the
} land and his heart begin to lighten.
}
} Eventually the traveller reached a distant kingdom ruled by a rather
} meek king and a rather aggressive queen who was in an advanced state of
} pregnancy. "Get me some oxtail soup and vinegared dried prunes"
} commanded the queen, and her servants rushed around in a futile manner
} until the queen got bored and had them all beheaded.
}
} "Why oxtail soup and vinegared dried prunes?" asked the king, but he
} was silenced when the queen gaveth him an extraordinarily filthy look.
}
} Later the queen asked "who is it that causes such merrymaking outside
} while I feel under the weather?" Upon learning of the traveller with
} the riotous goatskin, she asked for him to be bought to the throneroom.
} "Ow" she proclaimed when the heir apparent inside her kicked.
}
} When the traveller arrived, the queen had already decided that she
} didn't want to know the secret of the goatskin any more. This was of
} great relief to the traveller, as the merrymaking had ceased, the fish
} having died of advanced alcohol poisoning.
}
} Suddenly glaring at all present, the queen exclaimed "I want some
} Sushi."
}
} "Why?" pleaded her servants, "the country known as Japan hasn't even
} been discovered yet, why do you ask for Sushi? And we're hundreds of
} miles inland, how can you expect us to get some fresh fish and prepare
} it in time?"
}
} And the queen cried pitifully "it's so hard to get good help these
} days. Will anyone give me some Sushi? I will grant any wish for one
} plate of Sushi."
}
} And lo! the traveller said "I have some fresh fish, deeply marinaded in
} a vinegared wine. If it would please your majesty, perhaps you would
} like to sample my wares."
}
} The queen sampled the Sushi, and proclaimed it good, and there was much
} relief in the palace. "Until-recently-unhappy Traveller" she said, "you
} may have your wish. What do you want?"
}
} "I only want to be able to stay in your kingdom, treated in the same
} way I was when I had a drunk fish in my goatskin."
}
} "It shall be done" said the queen, "and what's more I give you a
} marvelous house with servants, and you shall have half my husband's
} harem."
}
} "Hey, hold on a minute" said the king, but another glance from his wife
} silenced him.
}
} And so, the now very happy traveller stayed in the kingdom, realising
} that had he insisted on asking the fish "Why?" in the desert, the fish
} would have croaketh and his present happiness would never have
} happened.
}
} And lo! his happiness continued until he died two years later of
} terminal curiosity.
}
} As payment the Oracle demands a prawn, peanut butter, and chocolate
} syrup sandwich.

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

>     So Orrie old chum, what this "Bcc" business in the headers of my
> document.

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} "Bcc" stands for Blind Carbon Copy.  But that doesn't tell you much.
} Sit back and learn a bit of Net lore.
}
} Back in the ancient, cloudy, misty days of the ancestors of the
} Internet, back around 1979, an old, worn-out blues musician used to
} warm his tired bones in the sun on Sproul Plaza at the University of
} California, Berkeley, from time to time putting his old harmonica to
} his mouth and playing a riff or two, and now and then saying "God
} bless you" to some kind soul who had thrown a coin in his battered old
} derby.
}
} Come December it grew cold, even in California, and the venerable
} blues man began looking for a building he could doze in without being
} thrown out.  Eventually he discovered the Computer Center, an ideal
} place because in those glorious days the only people using it were
} True Hackers who worked at night and slept during the day, mostly face
} down alongside their keyboards.  Once our protagonist had rescued an
} old Cal sweatshirt from a trash can and begun wearing it while he
} napped at a terminal station, no one questioned his right to be there.
}
} This old blues man, of course, was none other than Blind Carbon Copy.
}
} He had picked up the majority of his nickname back in the '20s, when
} as a boy he would sneak into the honky-tonks and listen to the sweet
} Delta blues he heard there, then sneak back home and practice what
} he'd learned.  One night when a young Al Jolson was performing, Bcc
} was so caught up in the music that he forgot to wait until he was home
} to practice, and when Al and the boys came out the stage door they
} found a young boy in the alley singing his heart out in a perfect
} imitation of the Master.  "Al, that boy just a carbon copy of you,"
} the bass man said, and the name stuck.
}
} Now Blind Carbon Copy wasn't blind, but did you ever hear of a Delta
} blues man who wasn't nicknamed Blind something?
}
} --Well, after a few days of napping in the Berkeley lab Bcc got
} curious about what all those red-eyed young-'uns was doing there, and
} he started moving from monitor to monitor and reading over people's
} shoulders.  He couldn't make much out of FORTRAN or C code, but every
} now and then he'd come upon someone reading his e-mail, and he'd read
} the message, and make a song out of it if he could, walking off into
} the center of the room and softly accompanying himself on his blues
} harp:
}
}     I've got a na-aasty bug, an' I'm feelin' mighty blue
}     <WaaAHHH-yaaa-yaaa, ya-aaa-aaa-WAAAA-aah-ahh>
}     I said mah code's got a big bug, makes me feel so goddam blue
}     <WaaAHHH-yaaa-yaaa, ya-aaa-aaa-WAAAA-aah-ahh>
}     Mah core's gone an' dumped me, said mah programmin' days was
}     through! <Bumpety-bumpety-bumpety bump bump BUMP.>
}
} His lyrics eventually worked their way into the bleary consciousnesses
} of the Berkeley hackers.  Dumbfounded at first, they quickly warmed to
} the idea of improvisational blues e-mail, and pretty soon got in the
} habit of calling Blind Carbon Copy over--when he was awake, of
} course--when they had received a particularly promising message that
} they wanted him to render.  Some of the more musical of the group got
} Bcc to teach them how to sing the blues too, and began doing their own
} riffs when Bcc was asleep or away.
}
} Well, the Berkeley group split up, as all things will; Bcc went back
} to Louisiana to live with his daughter's family, the hackers
} graduated, or got jobs, or became bums.  But whenever one of them sent
} e-mail to someone working with one of the old crowd, they'd attach a
} header reading, let's say, "Blind Carbon Copy: William Joy", to
} indicate that the recipient should call Bill Joy over to do the blues
} on the message.
}
} Before long the header was shortened to the standard "Bcc" in Berkeley
} sendmail.  But the tradition lives on.  Mostly nowadays the Bcc
} heading is just a ritual gesture, and few are the companies and
} schools where people know enough Net history to call for one of their
} colleagues to come sing their e-mail when they have a Bcc line.  But
} now you know, and you know what to do, and remember, above all, that
} even if you get funny looks when someone's reading over your shoulder
} and laying down that e-mail wail, there's an old Delta blues man,
} lying in a bed in an old-folks home in Baton Rouge now, who hears and
} is blessed every time you sing them.
}
} Blind Carbon Copy--part of your Internet heritage!
}

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> So, how can you tell if a clam is happy, as in, "happy as a clam"?
> Help, help I have to know?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I was sitting in Ray's Oyster Bar kelping to myself.  I was watching
} this starfish do her act.  What an angelfish!  She moved like an eel,
} skating across the sandy stage.  Every cod in the place wanted to
} grouper.  I shore did.  My scales tingled with thoughts of fileting
} her red snaper.  A cockletail waitress swam by.  I sank my hurricane,
} then gave her a few clams to get me another.  This time a torpedo.
}
} After a minnow or two, a whale of a fish swam in.  This was no small
} fry.  He was a shark.  He had two hammerheaded guys with him.  Mussel.
} They came to the table by me and sat down.  They were here for the
} show.
}
} After her dance, the starfish swam over to the man.  She was
} floundering. The big fish slapped her across urchin.  He was eating her
} alive.  Holy mackeral, I thought.  That blowfish can't do that to the
} catfish I love.  I had to help her.  I jumped up.  I gave the squid
} nearest me, a hook.  One of those rusty hooks with a real sharp barb.
} I got him.  The other slug took the bait.  I could see his porpoise.
} He launched at me, but I ducked behind a sandbar.  He piked his head
} around to sea me.  The opening was there.  I gave him a sucker punch an
} octopus would be proud of.  He went down.
}
} Meanwhile the shark looked more like a puffer.  His mussel had been
} eaten. It was his turn to be scaled, battered, and fried.  Deep fat
} fried. I swam toward him.  The little starfish gazed wide eyed.  "Let
} the angel go, Dogfish", I said.  He did.  The little starfish took my
} fin. "Lets get outta this aquarium", she said.  Just as we started to
} leave, the slippery eel tried to strikee.  What kind of prawn did he
} take me for? His face was perched.  I knocked the carp out of him.
}
} Off we went -- me and the starfish.
}
} I was happy as a clam.

The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question was:

> Oracle Most Wise, whose triangles always sum to *at least* 180 degrees,
> please answer my humble query:
>
> Which version of Euclid's fifth proposition is your favourite?
>
> Sincerely,
>
> A. M. Junkie

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} I'm rather partial to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle version of
} Euclid's 5th postulate:
}
}  Given a line and a point not on a line, the odds are pretty good you
}  won't know the momentum of the point real well, so you may or may not
}  be able to run another line through the point (oh great; now you don't
}  know the momentum of the point AT ALL) that is parallel to the first
}  line (but then you don't know its momentum either; what a mess!), at
}  least not to within Planck's constant.
}
} Then there's the version based on Ian Malcolm's non-explanation of
} chaos theory in Jurassic Park:
}
}  Given a line and -- are you following me so far? -- a point -- you
}  know what a point is, right?  How about a strange attractor?  A
}  fractal dimension?  Want some more buzz words that sound intelligent?
}  -- not on a line, well, give me your hand.  Soft.  Very good.  Anyway,
}  we have this line, see, and a point that -- now here's the tricky part
}  the point is not on the line, not at all; not even all that close,
}  really, but I'm sure someone as attractive as you knows all about that
}  -- sorry for the pun -- my point is -- sorry about that pun, too -- my
}  point is that mathematics is chaotic so mankind shouldn't be messing
}  around with it unless you can get at least a best seller and a movie
}  version with a $200 million gross out of it.  See what I mean?
}
} Of course, some people enjoy the Pythonesque version:
}
}  Now look, my good man, I took this line and this point, like you so
}  callously recommended, and I passed another line through the point,
}  -- not on the first line, and now that line is dead!  It's deceased!
}  It's defunct!  It's met its Maker!  It's shuffled off it's mortal coil
}  and joined the choir invisible!  This is an ex-line!
}
} How about the Star Trek version?
}
}  Kirk: Spock, what do your sensors tell you about this region of space?
}  Have we entered (insert overly dramatic gesture here) a *parallel*
}  universe?
}
}  Spock: Captain, by definition, that is impossible.  Parallel
}  universes, like parallel lines, cannot intersect.
}
}  Bones: Why you inhuman, pointy-eared, green blooded Vulcan!  This is
}  television!  Parallel universes intersect all the time in television!
}
}  Worf:  That's true.  Remember when the Enterprise C came through that
}  rift in space ...
}
}  Kirk:  A Klingon!  Phasers on Once_Over_Lightly!  Fire!
}
}  Spock: Klingon, your appearance here is illogical.
}
}  Q:  Especially since he wasn't even in the "Yesterday's Enterprise"
}  episode.  But you poor, pathetic humans wouldn't know about that,
}  would you?
}
}  Kirk: (puffs up his chest in a manly fashion)  Hey, what are you doing
}  on my ship?
}
}  Q: I'm waiting for someone to make an actual statement, so I can show
}  how omnipotent I am by violating it.  I should have known you would
}  all be so boring in the meantime.
}
}  Kirk:  Scotty, get us out of here!
}
}  Scotty: But Captain, I canna change the laws of physics!  I've got to
}  have thirty minutes, minus commercials!
}
}  Kirk:  Scotty--
}
}  Uhura:  Captain, I'm not frightened, but if I don't act scared I don't
}  get any lines.
}
}  Oracle: (materializes on the bridge) All right, everybody out!  I've
}  had more than enough of this.  This answer has gotten entirely too
}  silly.  You're all cancelled.  Now get out!
}
}  (various grumbles are heard as the actors leave the set)
}
} Well, supplicant, there's your answer, sort of.  Anyway, you owe the
} Oracle pictures of Euclid, Gauss, Bolyai, and Lobachevsky, all
} spinning in their graves.
