          this truly was a monster shark, and one that "could eat you." As opposed to other large sharks that are vegetarians and so can't eat people? :-D Man, 6 minutes too late, that is a bit harsh. regards, Paul Watson South Africa PMW Photography Gary Kirkham wrote: The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the cliché...Star Trek had it in spades.

                    :) "Please, pass the tartar." has become a bit of a joke with a friend of mine. He was at his boss's house one evening for dinner. His boss was very proud of his sea scallops, and had been doing a bit of bragging about them. Unfortunately, my friend could not have agreed any less. He found them awful. And so, not wanting to offend, he thought maybe he could cover up the flavor with some tartar sauce. That didn't work either. The tartar sauce too was awful. So he was stuck alternately disliking the scallops and scallops dipped in tartar, silently trying to figure out which offended his senses the least. Since then, we've been using that phrase for any situation where the solution made things worse than the problem. BW

                      mmmmm. hushpuppies. I was just on kayaking tour this past weekend in Charleston, and our guide told us a few of different legends of where hushpupies got their name. 1) In the plantation days, the kitchen was sometimes a separate building away from the main house. This was done to both keep the main house slightly cooler in the hot summer months as well as to ensure the house didn't burn down if there was a fire in the kitchen. This left the cooks with the problem of carrying food from the kitchen to the main house outside. To be sure the workers weren't munching on the goods while carrying them over, they were told to whistle (called the Whistler's Walk). The smell of cooking along with the whistling often lured the dogs around the kitchen. So to keep them appeased and quiet the cooks would toss little scraps of fried cornbread to hush the puppies. 2) During the Underground Railroad times, slaves would keep sacks of fried dough laced with poison. They feed them to the guard dogs prior to making their break for freedom, thereby hushing the puppies (though for good in this versoin). Don't know if either of these are true, but they made for good stories. BW
