  G-day George Pope,

"Q:  Dear Smithy,
I just purchased a box of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes and a box of Post
Corn Flakes.  What kind of cereal interface is needed?
                                -- Anthony "Tony" Tiger

P.S. - A prompt answer would be GRRRRRRRREAT!"

   "A: Remember that a cereal interface need to monitor its throughput
to maintain a constant mass, not a constant volume. These things are,
after all, sold by weight and not by volume, and relying on bran names
is not altogether appropriate.         "To maintain a constant flow of
mass, the cereal interface must properly address the needs of the source
cereal as well as the destination cereal.  The throughput efficiency of
a cereal interface is often controlled by a "Mikey" protocol.  If Mikey
likes it, the mass will pass without further modification.

        "If you must pass the mass from one form to another,
significant modifications must be introduced.  This becomes obvious
when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle standard must interface with
the older Count Chocula standard.  The Chocula standard has
difficulty sucking the information out of non-human forms. Captain
Crunch would serve as a much better source in this case.  Such a
difficult transfer, if not properly handled, will create a
distortion bandwidth approximating the Frankenberry distribution.

        "The optimized transfer of cereal information must be
accomplished bit by bit inbite-sized chunks.  This is necessary to
make sure the the 19 influences of the cereal interface promulgates
the Special K factor that provides part of a balanced breakfast.

        "If too much information tries to go through the cereal
interface, a 'puffed' condition will occur.  In this case, the base
cereal will be able to float longer in milk without losing its
fibrousand crunchy texture -- a particularly sticky problem when
dealing with the hot cereal standards.

        "What we need is an international component cereal interface
standard.  Standards like Lucky Charms and Trix already are paving
the way with their multicolored component parts.  Now we need to
invent a process that will keep each component separated thoughout
the cereal interface process.  That's the only way we can keep it a
regular world."
