I thought I was the only one who couldn't pick up a dictionary or encyclopaedia without spending the next hours following trails I never intended to follow. Now I know there is a name for this, even if it is stretching the physics concept of random motion of molecules. Am I a molecule, are you a molecule, are we all living in a giant's thumbnail? Anyone managed to sort out the Theory of Everything yet? How many more quantum leaps can we make? Am I indulging in Brownian motion now? Aren't words wonderful?

Yes ianhutch, words are wonderful; molecules are wonderful. Words are just as concrete as molecules and molecules are as flimsy as words. I am wonderful, and so are some other people.

Welcome.

ooo - I really like that Milum. Did you just make it up? I'm printing it up and sticking it to my desk drawer - attributed to you of course.

ian: Yes I have a theory of everything. However, I hate to bore the board; so I am yours at dalehileman@verizon.net and don't care who knows it

Thank You Bel, twice. One, for your nice comments; and two, for you having a such a brisk mind that could recognise the small, but succinct, truth within the words I wrote. So here's your second "thank you", --- Thank You!
