Anna, now look, see what you started? <grin> tsuwm the vector--I love it!  Dragging this thread back to language, I found a link on the etymology of geometry terms. Here's a sample: trigonometry -- trigon + the Greek word for measure. Geo-metry is the measure of Gaia (Geo), the Earth. http://ancienthistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa030601a.htm

Annas : if you two don't stop I shall put a hexagon both your houses.Hey! Watch out there AnnaS .. there is a witch from Pendle who might get upset at any usurpation of her prerogatives. And I must warn that what you send may turn back upon you! So be careful about the plane upon which you are operating !
