                                      I've always defined it as making a large chunk of the universe disappear. If colin isn't very careful our chunk may be next! :-P James Sonork: Hasaki "I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm their half-assed smiles and the book of rules. So I asked this God a question and by way of firm reply, He said - I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays." "Wind Up" from Aqualung, Jethro Tull 1971

                                        I think it's interesting that we often qu-ote each other in our sigs and attribute the qu-otes to "The Lounge". --- Daniel Fergusson, "The Lounge"

                                          It'll certainly get you a few hits, maybe you want to put an adult check on it to lend authenticity. After they've paid you a few dollars, you then ask your question. Make sure it's good and hard, something that'll be a good teaser, blow their mind and help them get stuck in.
