[joseph harris]

But it is all the fault of the computer - `'we just put the 
results in and the computer did the calculations, your honour'.

And:  'But I was just looking at this film description and 
suddenly I found the computer had downloaded it while I was 
making a cup of tea [or maybe rolling a spliff, or maybe heating 
the crack, or shooting up, or selling copies on or something].

Cynical|?   Moi?
