Yes I noticed the correlation of maths and El Matador. And the large count of arms and legs. I guess spiders win on the numbers of arms and legs. But any excuse for a rant. I agree with ElM that work is good but have long found that cognitive work is where the big bucks are. Physical work is more pleasurable in a holistic way but successful cognition is even more satisfying with sublimated need for physical challenge being done via golf, tree cutting, ocean swimming etc. One Irwin Jacobs is worth about 10 million ElMatadors although Irwin's arms and legs did not do paid manual labour. His arm shook hands and drank coffee when I met him. His cognition was where the action was. Actually, doing the numbers more precisely 1 IJ = 1 million ElM. Some manual work is needed to deliver food etc to the IJ types. Mqurice

It's true that confronting conquerors causes them to gear up and attack but the alternative is worse. I have here a Tarkan book by Sezgin Burak late of Istanbul delivered to us about 15 years ago by a friend of their family visiting NZ. Our son Tarken was named after the character. In those stories Tarkan and his wolf would ride far east to confront the evil Chinese/Mongols. Those battles continue to this day. During the Crimean war one of my great great grandfathers was injured at Crimea and died from his wounds. Back then everyone was rampaging everywhere. The world's a small place now and I have Maori, Chinese, Dutch, English, French grand children blends. Conquering Islamic ideology is so medievil. Erita is probably unaware of the effect of full blown Islam on designated unpersons such as women, homosexuals, apostates, blasphemers, infidels, Jews, etc. Mqurice
