A cure for boredom

[Glen]

With all the things that are going on, both in this group
and the world, I thought a little mindlessness might be
in order.  No flames, please - I kept it short.  Supported
for SCO versions only.

I'm sure everyone here knows how to write this, but who would?
So I did.  Enjoy, and may we all find peace...
