Phil, I am always amused by that brillig.com site. The person who named the site was very insightful. (nice pun) The word 'brillig' comes from Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark". He invented the nonsense word, as well as many others, because he realized that our normal vocabulary is too restrictive to describe many events and circumstances in life, especially those we don't understand but nevertheless wish to appear to. encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com "'Twas brillig and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe." Click on Jabberwocky. And is it not a brilliant description of the debt? >>Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumious Bandersnatch He took his vorpal sword in hand Long time the manxome foe he sought So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.<< Isn't that how we all feel about it?!
