			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just unearthed a digest from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Oracle">Internet Oracle</a> while digging through some old text files. Turns out, the oracle <a href="http://cgi.cs.indiana.edu/~oracle/index.cgi">still exists</a>. Who knew?</p>

<p>From the digest:</p>

<pre><code>Date: Fri, 24 Jan 97 16:59:10 -0500  
From: Internet Oracle &lt;oracle-vote@cs.indiana.edu&gt;  
Subject: Internet Oracularity #881-09  

Selected-By: Scott Forbes &lt;trans@lucent.com&gt;

The Internet Oracle has pondered your question deeply.
Your question was:

&gt;  
&gt; What is the best way to catch microfiche?

And in response, thus spake the Oracle:

} In a neural net.  
}  
} You owe the Oracle some sea monkeys.
