WHY IS MONA LISA SMILING?

I know Tourbus readers are the smartest and best looking people on the
Net, but a little advice never hurts. :-)
I NEVER DID GET BRITISH HUMOUR
------------------------------
Julian Allason, Contributing Editor for Tatler magazine writes:
> Thanks very much for the Tourbus, which is hugely enjoyed here in the

> Undercover police officers in Durham are to be issued with yellow,
> baseball-style caps so they can be easily recognised by uniformed
> colleagues. - The Guardian 2/9/98
> A policeman on his way in a panda car to rescue a young hedgehog
> rounded a bend in the road and ran straight over it. - The Guardian
> 29/7/98

NET2PHONE UPDATE - CALL NYC FOR TWO CENTS A MINUTE
--------------------------------------------------
I just found out that Net2Phone, the cool service we reviewed on
Nov 18 1997, is offering an incredible special -- you can place calls
to New York City for $0.02 USD per minute from anywhere in the world!
You'll need a PC with a microphone and speakers to place the call, but
the recipient needs only a regular telephone. This special rate is
only good until Friday October 16th. Check here for details:

That's all for now, see you next time! --Bob Rankin
