From: "Samuel J. Gravina" Date: Fri, 7 May 1999 09:46:44 -0400 Subject: Bad music judges from Mars
These things usually blow over after a while but this one has gone on so long I felt that I just had to bring a voice of reason to the subject.
There was no harp contest on Mars. Mars is very far away, does not have sufficient air pressure to sound a harp and does not have any music judges, bad or otherwise.
Now Mars is a big place and perhaps this aspect of Martian life has not been noticed till last week. But I doubt it. Even if there was something to do on Mars it is too expensive for any of you to do.
I know that I have occasionally stretch the limits reason to the point of almost being silly so perhaps I am not the best person to say this. But when people start talking about the injustice of harp contests on Mars the scientist in me feels the need to make a stand for reason.
