Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, lived a people known as 
computer scientists. Now these computer scientists were much like you 
and me, maybe a little geekier, and out of shape, but on the whole 
just like you and me. They were often known to congregate office 
style buildings. The specific group of CS-people in our story were 
known to gather in one specific office style building known as the 
CS-building. (Computer Scientists are not generaly known for 
creativity) And in this CS-building they were known to gather at the 
dawn of each week, known to others as really bleeping early on monday 
morning, in the lobby of their office style building. 

And this went on for many years until one new addition to the group, 
known as Pesky Little First Year, also known as Pelfy, decided that 
lots of CS-people standing around bleary eyed not doing anything was 
rather boring. So Pelfy started out on a quest to discover what could 
be done to help start the week. What followed where years searching 
fraut with dangerous battles against evil corperate seattle companies, 
years of learning how to create the perfect donut shaped food (in 
healthy and unhealthy varieties), and the trials of learning how to 
speak about non-computer related topics. And finaly Pelfy returned, 
and there was coffee. (And much rejoicing by the hither to sleepy 
CS-people) 

(The End)

Editor's Note: I don't know where this was going either, but the 
coffee's ready.
