    It was some other poor bastard with the same name and the same age.[^]

The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible." - Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004

              But am I me? Or is someone else typing this. There isn't even a photo that the 11/12 CPians who have met me face to face could verify is or isn't me.

                    A quick search on LinkedIn shows 141 people with your name in Australia. Some of them are "Mike Martin"s though. That excludes the unlisted ones.

                                        have you never seen CSI they can see minute traces of blood from decades earlier, its a bit like how they can "zoom in" on a single pixel and "enhance the image" to reveal vital info (car plate, text on a mobile or even the murderers face) its science init

                                        Yeah; but this was apparently reality not fantasy world...

                                        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                                          They are really fair in CSI with "enhancing" : just saw two episodes yesterday in which it went: - "Can you zoom more?" - "This is the best I can do" - "Oh, OK, so nothing of much help here". This probably balances all the other improbable things they are always doing.

                                          Do not escape reality : improve reality !
