KT, definitely, it would be good for them. <g/ng> At least ol' Bertie came up with some theory about ones and zeroes, thereby inventing the internet ... or was that Al Bore? <g>

No, Lord Russell left us in 1970, after a mere 98 years. I tried for years to write a type of poem about him called a Clerihew, but it never came out very well: Bertrand Russell Could bustle and hustle-- If he'd had nine lives He'd have had thirty-six wives. My favorite Russell story, from his autobiography, was that when he was about four years old he was at a gathering that included Robert Browning. Browning was holding forth, talking nonstop, and finally little Bertie in a piercing voice said loudly, "Oh, I do wish that man would stop talking." Whereupon Browning stopped talking.
