6. So, ultimately, the leg got separated because of Poland's position between Russia and Germany, and the lack of natural frontiers. Geography did it. Jake, I just have to say I like your creative efforts here. I can see the seeds of imagination blooming. <g> But I'm afraid I am going to stick with DNA as the likely culprit for now. I hope you'll understand. Geography is wonderful and certainly has it's place. But as with economics and religion... you must produce a substantial body of proof if you want to overthrow the well established laws of Mother Nature's DNA. [You might want to examine current developments in string theory. It's early, but I hear it's got Mom scared and on the defensive.] ...I continue to marvel at the achievements of these Polish bullets though. I've seen quite a few prisoners with gunshot wounds of various sorts. A few who lost limbs or other appendages from munitions of various types, but I never saw or heard of any losing something as large as a leg to shrapnel created by a hand held gun. An eye I could see... I've heard of lost ears... And you'd be shocked at the number of reproductive parts that turn up missing after a bit of gunfire. But these Polish engineers have taken collateral damage to new, if unexplained heights. I am impressed. <g> 0\|0
