    Hey David, if you respond to this, start a new thread so we don't have to find this one again. :) How about if we use the now infamous MonkeyTurkey in a movie. that would probably be okay. In Bob's Night Out, you could do an Invasion of the Body Snatchers thing Scene: Bob's bedroom showing Bob in bed, and view outside the bedroom window 1) Dream bubbles from Bob, dreaming of CP Lounge Messages 2) Zoom to window - UFO flying around in sky 3) UFO flies up to bob's window - a big eye is seen peering thru window in ufo, and through bob's window 4) Eye sees bob asleep 5) A Pipe with a faucet extrudes from the ufo, a hand reachsd out and turns on faucet 6) A pod oozes out and lands on the floor beside bob's bed with the words "Acme Clone Pod, Beta 1" on it 7) The flying saucer retracts the faucet and flies away 8) The pod starts to pulsate, and tendrils snake from the pod and plug into bob 9) Bob is sucked into the pod, and it starts to pump and undulate 10) Pod spits out MonkeyTurkey into bob's bed - obviously, the beta version of the clone pod has some problems that still have to be worked out 11) and so on...

    I once worked for a complete Dilbert type boss who constantly did more harm to the company than good. He had no idea what was really going on with the work we were doing, but every once in a while he would walk in a fire out a few "random acts of management" that had nothing to do with anything we were currently working on just so that he could be sure we knew he was the one in charge. The fact that he made more money than any of us was even more aggrivating. Eventually the company started to struggle and I was laid off. Hmmm. I wasn't too upset to be leaving that time. The boss I work for now knows more about the company than any of us. It's heaven compared to this other guy I worked for. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.

    Yes, but the earth's spin counters gravity a certain degree. It's called centrifugal force I believe. Didn't you ever put an action figure on a turn table when you were a kid? I used to wonder, if the earth is spinning, how come we don't fly off, my wise old uncle Gordon simply said gravity. I thought gravity was the result of centripetal force in my own naive way. Later I learned the gravity is inherent in the mass of an object. Why not throw away a dime? I throw away ten pennies all the time.
