The answer comes to us today from........."Dr. Science":
Dear Doctor Science,
They say that on the Internet, no one can tell if you're a dog. How
many household pets really log on in a given day?
-- Mark Gorenberg from Emeryville, CA
It depends on the cycle of the moon. Come a full moon, many pets grab
the nearest mouse and start clicking. I've heard it said that most of
the creatures logged on in chat rooms after 10 p.m. are animals,
usually domestic pets with an axe to grind. Cats usually use foul
language and are the source of much of the call for net regulation.
Dogs tend to be much more moderate, loyal, and dull. By the way, the
symbol for e mail slobber is ampersand asterisk.
