Part 2 "How does all this work?" I asked innocently. "It is some what complicated, but simply put it is accomplished by wireless transmission from computer to brain and vice versa. Of course, the brain is charged by ions contained in a nuclear imaging agent suspended in the hologram. You see the antenna protruding from 'levy's head," Ron said while pointing to it. I nodded. "Oh, and that is why..." "Yes," Ron interrupted, that fellow he calls plavermouth really upset 'levy' by all that wireless jabber." "I recall that's when 'levy began talking to himself," I added wisely. "Oh yes," spoke Shirley professorially, " the self talk is a manifestation of stream of consciousness musings emanating from the Joyce genes." "I suppose I need not inquire whence the genius that Sarkie so admires and the comedic talent that Rudi envies originate," I probed. "These truths are self evident," Rick declared, adding, "We never know which of the three personalities will dominate, sometimes all three speak at once." "One other thing piques my curiosity," I said, "it's this him/her obsession." "That's a man thing," replied Ron. "Yes, the three male personalities are exhibiting their resentment over being named for a woman," posited Shirley. That is the truth as the Devil gave me the light to see the truth. Great Satan

Part1 Rudi, I had not intended to reveal this, but since you asked, here is the truth about 'levy'. I swear it. I was there. This message may appear in separate transmittals because aol cuts me off if I stay on messages too long. There is no there there. Let me explain. I will try to be as brief as can be. I will spare the preliminaries and omit many details Here are the salient facts, starting with "levy is charming": Contrary to expectations that I would decline to go, thereby allowing the secret of 'levy' to remain concealed, I accepted an invitation to meet with 'levy'. the meeting took place on March 2, 2000 at the designated location, a laboratory in a restricted NASA area at Cape Canaveral. There I met Ron, Rick and Shirley who were introduced to me as clinical neuro-biologists. They escorted me to a nearby room where an ethereal image sat before a computer, its fingers flying over the keyboard or clicking a mouse. "That's our 'levy', Ron said, pointing. "That's not 'levy'", I exclaimed, 'that's a hologram." It serves no useful purpose to divulge the methods I employed to extract the truth from the neuro-bios, suffice it to say that I succeeded. Here is how their 'levy' evolved. The goal of their program was to create a brain that could converse with a computer. This required brain tissue from a specified class of deceased notables. It was decided to use tissue from the brains of Einstein, Henny Youngman and James Joyce and to clone them individually. This is when a glitch occurred. Ron, as befitted his status of project leader started by placing Einstein tissue in vitro. Not knowing this had been done, Rick inserted Youngman tissue in the same dish. Similarly, Shirley did the same with the Joyce tissue. As you surmised, the cloned brained was quite complex and totally schizoid. When the brain began to function the neuros realized they had a problem on their hands. Nevertheless, they persevered. The next phase of their program required them to determine whether the brain intelligently could receive and transmit computer messages. At this point they decided to make the experiment more realistic by embodying the brain in a hologram. The hologram that was supplied later was that of a male figure. While waiting for the hologram they decided the creation needed a name. Rick suggested La Vie Enrose in memory of a triple personality exotic dancer he knew. (I learned she succumbed to a virulent strain of alopecia). Unfortunately, one of the donors, probably Einstein, could not spell very well and the brain transmogrified La Vie to 'levy'. Hence the name 'levy' and all the misspelled words in messages 'levy' posts.
