Neil, I will help you give it life.
After they were done cleaning Oiks off the fabric, did they then resume flights over Hobbiton, Mines of Moira, Misty Mountains, Rohan and Gondor? Hoooom! Maybe they were too hasty! -Bubbo

Note: to the Dean
From: Visiting prof. Re: Laws of Modeling Class room. date Nov.21,2002. Sir it is with the greatest repespect that I respond to your inquiry. It would indeed appear that the night janitor has allowed a group of students to stay in the class room since 17 Aug when grades were handed out. The students involved(members of the local Delta - Lambda-Fraternity) are simply applying the use of higher learning and creativity. *As a suggestion I propose that you do not send in the Natl. Guard or the local constabulary. *They haven't smuggled in any alocohol or mind expanding narcotics - yet anyway. *From their bowels we may expect the future Poe, Shelley or Keats of our society. *When their finished just make them clean up their mess. *They'll be as right as rain. On the subject of my Field Study and topic of the Fullbreasted Coed my studies have taken me to the Beta-Phi Sorority where data has been gathered and now interactive field studies will begin in earnest. Your kind attention to these point are appreciated and I look forward to seeing you at the faculty mixer in Dec. *Thine humbly STL (with the usual accolades)

Hello All;
The good folk in the photograph kindly supplied by Herr Karl Otto are not playing with breast implants as Karl Otto erronously labels them. This is a rare photo of Marius A. Modell and his assistant Lettitia. Marius A Model attempted in the 1930's to develop a model production technique known as "Electro-Vacforming". A lump of unformed plastic compound was placed in a large bulb (as held by Lettitia) and was then plugged into a strange computer like device known as the ARII-1b. Somehow Marius attempted to program various model shapes into the ARII-1b leading to an electro current running to the vacumm filled bulb and according to Marius' theory a model shape would eventuate. After several failures Marius's managed to create a very primitive model of Herman Goering, which inspired him to greater efforts. However, this was Berlin in the early 30's, a time where anything was acceptable and Marius A. Modell too had his quirks. After some time the Arii-1b became curiously attractive to him. One night Lettitia found him alone in the lab with the Arii-1b. Disgusted by what she saw, she threw the switch on the Electro-Vacformer, leading to an impression of Marius being formed. After the three weeks it took Marius to recover and Lettitia's slighted rage had subsided. The pair decided they had hit upon a good business proposition. They began selling the Marius impressions around various sleazy Berlin markets as impressions of the increasingly popular Goering. The Nazi mad population of the time snapped them up and Marius and Lettitia made a quick fortune, and needing to escape Goering's wrath once he had found out about the small sized impressions being sold as his, they caught a tramp steamer to Brazil. Little was heard from them following this, though it is known Marius died in a horrible accident involving the Arii-3d in Buenos Aires in 1947. Lettitia went to Hollywood in 1936 but was not a success. Little was heard from her after that. This strange tale can be found in Chapter 7, Vol. V of Herr Doktor Von Humbrol's memoirs, entitled "When Vac-Formers Go Bad" HTH All the Best Neil Chief Archivist The Von Humbrol Memoirs

As the students continued to hang around the lecture theatre long after the Professor had left, a reedy voice was heard....
"THE CLEANER'S LAMENT" "Now then, time, Gentlemen, please, Isn't it time you went 'ome? You've had a good run 'n all'; Look I have to clean up, so go get a move on, do! Now then, time, Gentlemen please; Haven't you got 'omes to go to? and you three blind'uns with the elephant, do get her out of here, please. Now I said Time, Gentlemen, please! I know yer trapped by the camera obscura, and yer on abaht whose right or wrong, but the missus expects me 'ome directly; So just get out 'n build and 'ave fun!"  Night all! N.
