Kevin, you outdid yourself, a masterpiece, thank you. I particularly liked the "Stalkerus Jackassius". In my youth, as a turnips farmer, I used to be a pretty good taxonomist, but I could never classify the pest infesting our thread from time to time. I think that the problem I faced in my attempt at this classification, was that I could not find any four legged pests, only 6 or 8 or a "very large plurality" greater than 10. My hat to you, from one taxonomist to another, a great classification job. By the way, that must be a completly new genus. Maybe a new family. I wonder how many species this genus might contain, or is that one so new to the cyber age that evolution has not yet been well applied. I think I got myself a hernia from laughing so hard(g). Zeev PS, Kevin, where you not also the author of the "Floorless Converitble" market?

On rereading the "Tales from a Turnips field", I was also struck by the poetic beauty of Chaucer's lines, what "elan", what meter, and what depth of understanding of the "market's ways". Still laughing, mind you. as strong as Shaw's: "I am wanting to tell you, I am willing to tell you, I am wishing to tell you" (I am sure that this English challenged turnip farmer screwed up the quotation from Pygmalion, but you heart is big enough to forgive and maybe even forget <g>). Talking about Pygmalion, was he a fond of turnips as well? Cyprus should be a great place to row these venerable roots. Zeev
