What is Mens et Manus?

Library story - This link (now at archive.org) used to be good, until the MIT library apparently took Philip Greenspun's sarcastic advice (older version now at archive) seriously:
"Final Tip
Reorganize your file system after you're listed in all the Web directories, after folks at other sites have linked to articles on your server, and after search engines have discovered your sites. That way users will be sure to get "404 Not Found" messages after finding your site in Yahoo or WebCrawler."
The Library story can currently be found here (now at archive) and here (from archive.org, for another one broken, as of 8/10/2002 or earlier)

Short story
Long story - which is notably the only one of these links not broken one of the last couple links broken since first linked in May '01 (as of August '04), except for Greenspun's, which was revised from the original without breaking.

Quote of the moment
There were once two monks - a teacher and his student. In order to give some encouragement to his student, the teacher said, "One day we will definitely go for a picnic." After a few days it was forgotten. The student later reminded the teacher of his promise but the teacher responded by saying that he was too busy to go for a picnic for a while.

A long time passed; no picnic. When reminded again, the teacher said, "Not now. I am far too busy." So one day the student saw a dead body being carried off, and the teacher asked him, "What is happening?" And the student replied, "Well, that poor man is going on a picnic!" So, unless you make specific time for something that you feel committed to, you will always have other obligations.
