...know some guys in the Sahara who would kill for one of these. And our pool table is fairly "unparalleled" as well. The way the right corner pocket just sucks the balls right in, like a magnet. And the cockroaches that have been known to stampede across the kitchen floor. I guess they're pretty "unparalleled" too. Bio labs across the country would pay a fortune for a living specimen (a nearly impossible request: they were very fast. If not, they would be reduced quickly to a pool...
...Stoll and half a dozen investigative agencies far beyond the Berkeley campus. For ten months, they followed the hacker as he wended his way through the networks that link U.S. military and industrial computers all over the world.

Frustrated by the government's tax policies and cuts in welfare spending, Brown roared down from his back-bench seat, hurled papers at a minister, then grabbed the 17th century ceremonial mace that rests at the center of the Commons and threw it to the floor. The nearly 5-ft.-long staff, part of the Crown Jewels, is a cherished symbol of Parliament's rule...
