And I thought it was still the 20th century! Where did the time go? Let me see if I got this right. Since there were over 1000 days since June 1987, he must be referring to the cosmic activity that occurs in one day. That means that earth is orbiting the Sun once per day. This is an astounding discovery! I propose that we start an international effort immediately to rewrite all the ill-founded textbooks that say the earth orbits the sun only once per year! Furthermore, since the earth rotates about its access 365.2425 times as often as it revolves around the Sun, that means that the earth is spinning at a rate of 15 times per hour! Thus the Sun will now be setting almost every 4 minutes! Cosmic discoveries of this nature should not be kept in the dark. I propose that the full text of the research be placed in the public domain, or better yet subjected to the GNU copyright! This will assure the maximum possible distribution of these important earth-shattering discoveries! -David- p.s. :-) > > >Frances Kirk Selkirk info@ftp.com (617) 246-0900 >FTP Software, Inc. 26 Princess Street, Wakefield, MA 01880 > david@wubios.wustl.edu ^ Mr. David J.
