The prediction being referred to is       "crnpr va bhe gvzr" nsgre gur Zhavpu pbasrerapr gung prqrq       Pmrpubfybinxvn gb Anmv Treznal.              I don't know who the other person was, nor have I solved the hints.              --       Joshua Kreitzer       gromit82@hotmail.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
