Der Smiley feiert Geburtstag :-)
Jetzt wurde die Nachricht mit dem angeblich ersten Emoticon-Smiley auf einem 20 Jahre alten Backup-Tape wieder entdeckt. Mit geradezu archäologischem Aufwand machten sich Jones und einige ehemalige Kollegen an die "Bergung" des ersten Smileys.

I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers:
:-)
Read it sideways. Actually, it is probably more economical to mark things that are NOT jokes, given current trends. For this, use

First ever smiley found, preserved for posterity

Outdoor Sex Etiquette
Sex in the outdoors can potentially have a severe impact on an otherwise pristine wilderness area. First consider the visual impact. Imagine the consternation of someone who comes walking over a ridge and sees the natural wonder of a magnificent vista blotted by a couple of people having sex in a high alpine meadow. Yuck!

It's a Pack of Gum? A Lighter? Nope, an MP3 Player
The Nomad MuVo, a digital music player and file-storage device from Creative, is a nifty gadget. Unlike most peripherals, it requires no cable to connect to a computer. Its core — smaller than a pack of gum — plugs directly into a U.S.B. port and acts as an additional drive. No file-transfer software is needed, and for Windows XP, 2000 and Me and Mac OS 9 and X, no drivers are needed either.
