You know, the one that God struck down and then, as a punishment, scattered the people far and wide and made them all speak different languages? However, if you're ever in the market to sell the BABBLE fish, which produced many inane ramblings to issue from your keyboard (and has, thankfully, been mysteriously absent from your most recent postings [knock on wood!]), let me know, as I've several friends who are unable to say anything inane and off the wall and would probably benefit greatly from its' enchantments. I'd take it off of your hands for a competetive price, I think. Just my $0.02, as they say... -=* CWC -- ) _ | | But I like it when that // | Free _ |\/ | (_) |B | (_) (\/) * | lightning comes!!! -- The Cure Z7 | Yourself!_ // -----------------------------------------------------------/--| AMIGA! \X/ Christopher W.
