It is not true that the English invented cricket as a way of making all other human endeavours look interesting and lively; that was merely an unintended side effect. I don't wish to denigrate a sport that is enjoyed by millions, some of them awake and facing the right way, but it is an odd game.

When we go donate our fanzine collection/convention programs to one of the University collections (UofA has a good SF one) the librarians go on line, see a 15 page program book listed for 15 bucks, and volia, our worthless fanzine collection becomes a $4000 tax deduction......
