I've digested the "lesser" jokes regarding the Heaven's Gate mass suicide
(although some are pretty funny one-liners).  These are jokes which are funny,
but which didn't really warrant posting separately. Particularly selective
readers will probably not enjoy the digests, and may want to killfile RHF
jokes with "Digest" in the title - ed.

The Miami Herald copied Heaven's Gate's web pages to their site before it
was taken down yesterday, and they are advertising them heavily today.

The first thing that occurred to me was that this was clearly a copyright
violation.  Then again, it may not matter: I don't think that there is
anyone left to file a suit.....

Original by my roommate, Dana Hudson.  Of course somebody else may have
beaten her to it...

After reading that several of the 39 suicide victims in San Diego had
been castrated, my roommate responded,  "so they were 'eunuchs'
programmers?"

I don't know. Since they were Web designers, I figured that the 39
actually became 404.

Homepage, get 39 people to kill themselves because of your
site.

And just watch the hits roll in...

Subject: That mass suicide again

Heard on Politically Incorrect starring Bill Maher, during his monologue
(slightly paraphrased):

We've recently learned that many of the men of the Heaven's Gate suicide
community had been castrated.  Apparently there weren't as many nuts in
that mansion as we originally thought....
