Today photos of Saturn are scintillating and magnificent. Then I go to emails. I have subscribed to the magazine since 1959: and read it cover to cover. So I love the topic you brought up, as well as that fascinating video from a few days back on the DominicanREpublic critter that looks like an opossum. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep---- Top #182075 - 01/27/09 09:25 AM Re: Olm , Proteus anguinus [Re: parkelj] The Pook old hand Registered: 02/20/08 Posts: 1067 Loc: Tasmania Originally Posted By: parkelj It was.

That's quite a sentence there, I would not want to have to parse it, but I'd love to be on that safari. _________________________ ----please, draw me a sheep---- Top Page 2 of 2 < 1 2 Previous Topic Index Next Topic Preview Hop to: General Topics ------   Information and announcements   Q&A about words   Wordplay and fun   Words and languages in schools   Miscellany   Weekly Themes   Looking for (writers, speakers, ...)
