disgusted when I get into a good show, as he became an administrator.

Which means that next week I'll probably be a disc jockey.

I guess it depends on how well they know you? but in keeping with quantum physics and chaos theory, one can generally predict tendencies, but just like the weather the further from the current moment (initial conditions) we travel the less certain things tend to become. 

>I think that 'art' per se might be species-dependent. *We might not
appreciate polar bear art.
Patrick I like what you said on species, art and evolution, although perhaps there is something universal in art, a resonant archetypal core which trancends differences in culture / species once we can overcome limits in  our inherited conditioning?

Really hot, though I seriously recommend the Aphrodite avatar!

Wow interesting, I never though of that but it explains alot, why my computer is always turned on... except when after a lot of work there is a data overflow crash and I have to restart, and why I get hot around the collar networking multiple computers... *ahem* um sorry, but seriously I'm intreged by these ideas, anyone (Melinda?) want elaborate on this?

cheers,
