Strange SHIP/Congrats, Shaun!/Does anyone read all these posts?

I see a few unpopular SHIPS have been mentioned recently, so I 
would like to add one that should be mentioned more often: 
Basilisk/Giant Squid.

As I read your post, I grinned real wide and shouted "Yes!" I am 
happy for you and pleased of hear of a university exercising good 
judgment.

*I* read every message on the main list, this list, announcements, 
convention, california, and a few fanfic lists. Only very rarely do I 
give up on a post without reading to the end. I read them on webview, 
I have broadband (cable modem), and I read them mostly in a great 
orgy of catching up on Friday night which *sometimes* lasts until 
mid-afternoon Saturday... 

I think I might have enough time to do things I want to do if I 
didn't waste so much of my time on this job-thing (called "working 
for a living"). As it is, there are m-lists I want to keep up with 
and (public radio) news/opinion/arts shows I want to listen to and 
magazines I want to read and books I want to read and museums I want 
to go to and cats I want to pet ... and I should have mentioned 
sleep FIRST, as it is my FAVORITE activity ... and, well, y'know, I 
got caught up on ARCHAEOLOGY and BIBLICAL ARCHAEOLOGY REVIEW and 
ARCHAEOLOGY ODYSSEY and NATURAL HISTORY but I'm almost a year behind 
on SMITHSONIAN ... a month behind on SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN ... so many 
years behind on NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC that I don't expect ever to get 
around to reading it ... and I never have time to read the fanfics 
discussed on the fanfic lists....

It sure is.
