Mr. See owned a saw, and Mr. Soar owned a seesaw. Now, See's saw
sawed Soar's seesaw before Soar saw See that made
Soar sore. Had Soar seen See's saw before See sawed Soar's seesaw, See's
saw would not have sawed Soars' seesaw. So See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.
But it was a shame to see Soar so sore because See's saw sawed Soar's seesaw.

In point of fact, and in the absence of references - which
the orator delivers with thrasonical bombast and psittaceous
vacuity - he might have said simply, "I assure you, history
will go on one way or another."  Advanced thinking inescapably
leads some to promulgate esoteric cogitations with platitudinous
ponderosity. A few learn to avoid such flatulent garrulity.  Still,
the authors work was interesting and immeasurably entertaining.

Ed Nott was shot and Sam Shott was not. So it is better to be Shott
than Nott. Some say Nott was not shot. But Shott says he shot Nott.
Either the shot Shott shot at Nott was not shot, or Nott was shot.
If the shot Shott shot shot Nott, Nott was shot. But if the shot Shott shot
shot Shott, then Shott was shot, not Nott. However, the shot Shott shot
shot not Shott - but Nott. So, Ed Nott was shot and that's hot! is it not?

In baseball, a SHOE-STRING catch is made when a fielder bends
very low to snare a ball on the fly before it touches the ground.
Usually shoe-string catches are made on line drives hit to the outfield.

SCCS is a computer language source code management
system which maintains records
of changes made in files within that system. Records stating
what the changes were, why and when they were made, and
who made them are kept for each version. Previous versions
can be recovered, and different versions can be maintained
simultaneously. SCCS also insures that two people are not
editing the same file at the same time.
@TEXT@
The traditional SCCS commands are also included for reference
in the "SEE ALSO" section. If the sccs(1) preprocessor is used,
small discrepancies may exist due to conflicts between the
command parameters and the sccs(1) preprocessor parameters.

The VI text editor is the standard UNIX text editor. If the file
argument is given, VI simulates an 'ED' command on
the named file; that is to say, the file is read into VI's
buffer so that it can be edited. The optional dash (-) suppresses
the printing of character counts by the E, R, and W commands, of
diagnostics from E and Q commands, and of the ! prompt after
a "!SHELL" command.
@TEXT@
The '-p' option of the "ED" line editor command allows the user to specify
a prompt string. The ED line editor operates on a copy of
the file it is editing; changes made to the copy have no
effect on the file until a W (write) command is given. The
copy of the text being edited resides in a temporary file
called the buffer. There is only one buffer.

The LOGIN command is used when a user initially signs on to
a remote computer system, or it may be used at any time to
change from one user to another. The latter case is the one
summarized above and described here. To sign on initially,
see the Guide to System Environment Setup.

The mkdir command creates specified directories in mode 777.
The directories are then modified by umask(2), according to
how you have set up umask. Standard entries, '.', for the
directory itself, and '..' for its parent, are made automatically.

The coiner was one F. Scully, in a 1936 book titled "Bedside Manna."

The award given annually to the best pitcher in the major leagues
is the Cy Young Award, named after Denton T. "Cyclone" Young,
one of baseball's all time great pitchers who chalked up more
winning seasons than any other pitcher in the history of baseball.
From 1956, when the Award was established, until 1966, the Cy
Young Award was given to the best pitcher in all of baseball.  But
from 1967 on, two Cy Young Awards have been given: one to the best
pitcher in the National League and one to the top pitcher in the
American League.

The first game of TEAM baseball, as we know it, was played at
Elysian Field in Hoboken, New Jersey, on June 19, 1846. The game
was between the Knickerbockers and the New York Nine.  The
Knickerbockers lost the game by the score of 23 to 1, in four innings.

Most people believe that Abner Doubleday invented the game of baseball
in 1839, but stick-and-ball games date as far back in history
as the ancient Egyptians.  Researchers have also shown that
similar games were played in England and America before that date.
The English game of "rounders" was played in Great Britain in the
1600's and in the New England colonies in the 1700's. To play rounders,
a ball was hit with a bat, and the runner ran around posts in the
ground, which were used as bases.  Fielded balls were then thrown at
the runners to get them out. So although Doubleday is credited with
inventing baseball, there is no actual proof that he did.

Just how long is a second of time? If you know about fractions, you
can figure out how long a second is. A second is 1/60 of a minute,
which is 1/60 of an hour, which is 1
