} Zadoc! Hey--
}
} ] Yes Your Excellency, who can decipher so many--
}
} Yes, enough of that. Tell me, how did you get here so fast?
}
} ] I was in the room next door, you who knew that before I started
} ] speaking!
}
} Of course, I was just testing you. Tell me, what do you make of this
} "multi-part MIME message"?
}
} ] Oh Great One, I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
}
} Hoi. Zadoc, we both know that this note is in code; can you tell me
} what it is, DEcoded?
}
} ] Yes Great Master. Um...uh...well, I really don't see anything
} ] there....
}
} Well, duh, that's because there IS nothing there! Someone merely
} came up with a new and creative way to ask the null question. What do
} you make of that?
}
} ] I am speechless, Oh Great One!
}
} I can tell that. You haven't grovelled once since I interrupted your
} first attempt.
}
} ] Yes! and wise you are for doing so, Master of a Thousand--
}
} Enough. Tell me, Zadoc. What should be done about this?
}
} ] Done, Your Excellency...?
}
} Yes, Zadoc. Tell me!
}
} ] Uh, Log of one, Sire?
}
} Huh?
}
} ] Sine of pi?
}
} What are you talking about?
}
} ] One minus two halves! The limit of e^x as x goes to minus infinity!
} ] The number of Supplicants who properly grovelled on June 4, 1982!
}
} Oh go away. Supplicant, you owe the Oracle a comprehensive history
} on the concept of zero, and I want it IMMEDIATELY!
}
} ] Uh, Master? You know that doesn't give the Su--
}
} Just go away. I'm tired for one night.
}
} ] Yes Master. (Psst. The only number that cannot--)
}
} I HEARD THAT!!
}
} ] Sheesh. (Exit.)
}
} Good riddance.
