    This reminds me

    of my archaeology days. On a certain day during each digging season, we'd invite the public to come out and see what we were doing. They'd walk around, peering into our excavation -- usually from two to ten feet deep. Inevitably, some genius would ask, "Why'd they live down there?" If we were feeling masochistic, we'd ask, "Where?" "Down in those holes!"

    Ug.
