And as to the origin of our little red daemon. Some would say the obvious, he's a cooled off devil. But where does the heat go? Some would observe a cold penguin might provide an appropriate sink for the heat. Penguins and devils are more alike than one might think, neither can wear tennis shoes. Tennis shoes crack and fall off due to the chill of a penguin. What becomes of a warmed up penguin? A warm pengiun can not remain a penguin else melt thru the ice and get his tennis shoes wet. Once penguins can wear tennis shoes do they become daemons too? Or do warmed up penguins taste like chicken? Truly, this is a major topic of debate for the top philosophers of our day. :-) -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
