Biosphere 2 Allan.Meers@ebay.sun.com (Allan Meers - Sun Education) (smirk, original) From the rec.humor.funny joke archives. At a Sun Networking and Performance class last week in Phoenix, Arizona the students were trying to explain to the instructor what the Biosphere-2 environmental project was, describing it as a self-contained long-term living/working structure for a small team of people. The instructor asked, "So you mean that these people go into this BS2 building, which is loaded with high-tech stuff, and live and work there for months and years at a time without ever going outside ? " "Where I come from, we call that a computer room". Newsgroups: rec.humor.funny From: anonymous@clarinet.com (unidentified user) Subject: A balanced biosphere? Keywords: chuckle Approved: funny@clarinet.com This is a paraphrase of a comment made in a local alternative newspaper: The Biosphere II, which is supposed to represent a balanced sampling of life on Earth, contains over 3500 species of plants, animals, birds and insects. And eight white people. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Browse the Best of RHF, courtesy of the ClariNet e.News
