Every once in a while we'll start a topic on a white
board in Chuck's* cubicle and anybody can pick up a
marker and contribute. The most recent topic was, as
mentioned in the subject line, Contradicting Cliches.
Chuck, who is quite familiar with thechat, asked if I
would post the topic and see if you all could take
this any further. So here it is.

deprecated.
