May the Great Moby Zork bless your furry little soul for posting that,
I have been trying to find a copy for about a year now.

Now, does anyone have the Wirth joke about pascal, you know, the one
that talks about how some people pronounce his name ""virth"", some
""worth"".... etch, etc?????


			Thank in advance.

Your wish is my command.  From the 'fortune' data file:

Niklaus Wirth has lamented that, whereas Europeans pronounce his
name correctly (Ni-klows Virt), Americans invariably mangle it into
(Nick-les Worth).  Which is to say that Europeans call him by name,
but Americans call him by value.
