Hi,
I came across this web page, and it sounds plausible, any thoughts on
this people out there?

--Sfi Mordehai ben Yosef Yitzhak, Aka Matthew G. Saroff
This is not the Dream. This is what I do on weekends to have some fun.
The Dream involves 4 sets of identical twins, 2 gallons of Cool
Whip, 5 quarts of chocolate syrup, 2-1/4 pounds of strawberries,
satin sheets, a magnum of champagne, a trapeze, and a python.

_Vatican ponders patron saint for the Net _
_14/06/99:_ The Vatican is considering a move to create a patron saint
of the Internet, helping millions of users around the world pray for a
quicker service.
The choice of religious saviour is thought to be St Isidore of Seville
who died 1,400 years ago.
St Isidore is the preferred choice for patron saint of the Net by many
users as he is credited with creating the world's first database - a
20-volume encyclopaedia.
The saintly move has not yet been confirmed by the Vatican, but it has
been rumoured for some time and the campaign by Internet users has
been growing.
Spokesman for the Catholic Media Office Tom Hallwood said: "There are
patron saints of many things, so why not let the Internet have one?
"It is a good idea and might be able to help us all when we are about
to crash.
"There has been no official statement from Rome but this has been an
idea floating around for a while, so why not?"
The Vatican and the Roman Catholic religion are heavily involved with
the Internet, with the Pope broadcasting live speeches on the Web as
well as having Vatican Radio which can be heard online.
It also uses three servers - large computers used to power the Net -
to cope with the heavy demand made on its web sites, appropriately
called Raphael, Gabriel and Michael.
The move to appoint a patron saint for the Internet has been down to
pressure from Catholic users around the world, predominantly Spain.
