From ian@SLAC.Stanford.EDU Fri, 16 Mar 2001 15:43:13 -0800 From: "MacGregor, Ian A." Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2001 15:43:13 -0800 Subject: RE: OT: Oracle *Chocolate* Monitoring Tools/Friday Recipe Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain What's muscovado sugar? It sounds like sugar from an avocado grown in Moscow. My wife, who hails from Bristol. knew it was a brown sugar, but didn't know what made it different froom other brown sugars. She didn't think it was simply a brand name. We have one child so cutting the cake into three pieces works well for us, but for those with only one nearest and dearest three pieces of such a cake and two people might cause a fracas. I wouldn't complain too much about the metric measures. A law was passed barring the use of imperial ones. MI6 has propably intercepted his email and is arranging to put scofflaw Mark away for a good while.
