[Tfug] Debian on the way out?

[Bowie J. Poag]

That depends. A bobcat in a hovercraft could be far more deadly than all 
of those--Think about it. Hovercraft are far more agile than tanks, 
ferries, or blimps.. If that bobcat was really angry, there would be no 
telling the amount of damage it could incur. Tanks can only move on 
solid ground. Blimps can only fly in the air. Ferries can only travel in 
water.. The hovercraft has an advantage in that it can travel over both 
ground AND water!

This discovery is critical to their success--We need to forward this 
conversation to the Debian folks immediately, and warn them of the 
dangers posed by hovercraft piloted by bobcats.

Cheers,
Bowie
