I have some manic       physics clues from years ago that may be of help with       that. Or if there are indeed aliens here on Earth they       may be willing to share their technology.              --       David Dalton dalton@nfld.com http://www.nfld.com/~dalton (home page)       http://www.nfld.com/~dalton/dtales.html Salmon on the Thorns (mystic page)       â€śComing into season this world will flower       With the power of love, not the love of power" (Mae Moore)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
