what changes state in because?
actually it does make sense-- it is almost as if the verb to be is added to the word..
butreft? reeve, i know, but reave? quest is from quote-- (last words)
and i guess then be head-- the body changes state-- from one with a head to one with out..
speaking of which...has anyone seen the great commercial for ??? with claymation figures..
He is sitting at a candle lit table, eating and all he is talking is business.. she listens politely for a while, and then.. walks over to him, stands behind him, rubs his shoulder, and then YanK! off comes his head, leaving behind a little ball joint (like a pop bead) she walk over to the closet -- meanwhile he is continuing to talk business, almost oblivious of his bodiless state...
in the closet, she plops his head on shelf,( and suddenly he realizes what has happened, and laspes into silence!) She takes another one off the shelf.. and walks back and pops it onto the body at hand..
Newly conscious, the head looks around, notes candles, dinner and pretty lady, and starts sweets talking..
boy, if life where only like that!
