Alphabet soup

JRP1@phoenix.cambridge.ac.uk (Jonathan R. Partington)
(original, smirk)

 Anyone ever tried making home-made alphabet soup? God, it's a
tedious business. You get these bits of spaghetti, you cut them
up into 1 inch lengths, and then you have to start tying them
into weird shapes. Most of them come undone when you actually
cook them.

 Greek alphabet soup (I am into foreign cookery) is the hardest
to make. It has all these wretched xi-like squiggly letters
which I just can't get right, and I'm afraid the capital xis
just keep falling to pieces.

 Don Knuth is said* to be working on a set of mathematical
fonts suitable for alphabet soup recipes. Indeed he is going to
open a pasta restaurant and call it The Happy Eta.
