lazy girl, a hint: if you find some letters in the code above, do not delete
them, they are true)

> Art is language

My reviews about works of art are always built as a detective story of Edgar
Alan Poe.
To me, investigate art is to decipher signs or codes. All work of art is a
code to be deciphered. But that code is not a code like the codes above.
Why? Because the  works of art are opened. You always can add your feelings
to them. Well let's me tell more about this tomorrow.

Your friend in Rio,

Regina

PS:  Ale,

Can you send us more info about this work: The magic rat?
I would like to finish my messages about your work with a review of this
work that brought me much fun. Last but not least, can you reveal the
programming code to make the rats appear and increase of number?  Is it
Flash?
