nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is a short, quick, and easy read.Some Sample Anecdotes:¿ John Barrymore was noted as much for his dissipation as for his acting. While acting in Hamlet after a night of revelry, he began the 'To be or not to be' soliloquy, but in the middle of the speech found it necessary to retire to the side of the stage so he could vomit. Later, he was complimented for this innovation: 'I say, Barrymore, that was the most daring and perhaps the most effective innovation ever offered. I refer to your deliberate pausing in the midst of the soliloquy to retire, almost, from the scene. May I congratulate you upon such imaginative business You seemed quite distraught.

She was forced to take off the hat on stage, and the audience gasped at her taste in hairstyles.¿ In 1996, one of the student hacks (pranks) at MIT was the replacing of the 'No Trespassing' signs at the entrance to the computer clusters with signs that stated, 'You must be at least this smart to use Athena workstations,' complete with a graph that charted levels of intelligence. The bottom intelligence level was 'Urchins who log in as root.' In the middle intelligence levels were 'average Harvard student,' 'average B.U. [Boston University] student,' and 'average CalTech student.' Holding the top intelligence level was 'below-average MIT student.' In the 1980s an elevator hacker replaced the word 'UP' with 'Heaven' and the word 'DOWN' with 'MIT.'.…
