Redmond -- Citing the event as a new era of peace and cooperation, Bill 
Gates today announced Microsoft's purchase of Netscape.

Said Gates: "Hopefully now the world knows we're serious about the Web." 
Microsoft's first move will be to combine the two browsers, with the MINE 
(Microsoft Internet Netscape Explorer) browser due this year. "When we 
release this version," said Gates, "all Web access will be MINE."

Did you know that it costs forty-thousand dollars a year to house each
prisoner? Jeez, for forty-thousand bucks a piece I'll take a few
prisoners into my house. I live in Los Angeles. I already have bars on
the windows. I don't think we should give free room and board to
criminals. I think they should have to run twelve hours a day on a
treadmill and generate electricity. And if they don't want to run, they
can rest in the chair that's hooked up to the generator.

minor calculation error. You get a B+.
