Re: OFERTA FIN DE SEMANA
Despite the Spanish subject line (apparently a spam/advertising post, "Weekend Offer"), this thread contains no technical content at all. It is entirely off-topic banter: one poster shouted "SLITHY TOVES!!!", others asked what that meant, and the exchange turned into a running joke quoting Lewis Carroll's nonsense poem "Jabberwocky" (gyring and gimbling in the wabe, vorpal swords, uffish thought), plus an aside about the posters' medications. No problem is posed and no resolution exists; nothing here is worth opening for Informix or OS information.

"slithy toves" is the from the first line of Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky" "'Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe" I just take any available opportunity to loudly proclaim "slithy toves!!!" any time that I can. That may have something to do with being off my meds though. Rick

What language are they, and what do they mean? >I just take any available opportunity to loudly proclaim >"slithy toves!!!" any time that I can.
