O.T. Well, actually a chimera is any imaginary monster. The term is usually used to denote an imaginary, visionary, frightful, or foolishly vain concept. (Webster -- I had to look it up!)

chimera, one of my favorite words, actually a fire breathing monster with a lion's head, goat's body and serpent's tail, the idea being a mythical beast made of incongruous parts, or anything made of incongruous parts, and thus so fanciful that the word chimerical means existing only as unchecked imagination or fantasy, now isn't that kind of neat?

I like this idea. Also, I'm looking for a some from of clock with an password so I can meter my kids time using PC games, has anyone seen such thing? If not, someone should code on up for me, I'll buy it from them.. I would like to have it log them off once the timer is up. I want to chose what games they can get at, and how long they can use them...
