Bart:
	One of my favorite New Yorker cartoons was a depiction of Sherlock 
Holmes and Dr. Watson. Sherlock Holmes is examining a gift wrapped 
package with his magnifying glass. The caption is, "Confound it, Holmes! 
Just open it up and be surprised like everybody else!"

	My recommendation: Just read it and be surprised like everybody else. 
Except, of course, for the last word.
