Well, I know that I have never typed anything but pl*co, and two of my
fish died with the asterisk on their backs, so the curse must
certainly be gaining strength, building immunity and growing
increasingly contagious thanks to all those non-believers who insist
on striking the e key instead of reaching up to the shift-8. Please,
rafm community, for the sake of the future health, perhaps the very
existence of pl*cos everywhere, make the extra effort to type
carefully. I was delighted when the Boston Red Sox were able to
Reverse The Curse, but I fear the pl*co curse may prove a bigger
challenge.

-- Mister Gardener

My bristlenose pl*co disappeared for the last month in the
heavily-planted tank. Just today he's re-appeared; perhaps the curse is
waning?
