    Let me enumberate the reasons why it is not. 1. It is not a word. 2. It wouldn't get used by enumberate people. 3. Educational establishments may not like it when measuring numberacy Hope that's enough - I'm off to masterate. (sorry!)

    If I knew then what I know today, then I'd know the same now as I did then - then what would be the point? .\\axxx (That's an 'M')

      Better than what?

                I think it's known as the Bacon/Norris paradox...

                        Which reminds me: if you strap buttered toast buttered side up on the back of a cat and drop it off a height, due to the two well known laws that a cat always lands on it's feet and toast always lands buttered side down, when the cat / toast drops it will start to spin rapidly before it hits the ground and wink out of existence in a fiery flash as the universe attempts to rectify the paradox.

                          That's sounds like as good a way as any to get rid of a few cats. Gotta run to the store and pick up some more bread and butter... Does it have to be straps, or will staples do?
