"The plate holds... Why do you *think* I wear a target on my chest? Can't armor my head..." (I haven't been following DC much in recent years; if this wasn't Miller's idea, I'd be interested to know who first thought of it.) -- Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology {allegra,ihnp4,linus,decvax}!utzoo!henry
