Janice and all, In a last and final attempt to find origin of the Blank word, I submit the following: When they were expelled from the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve left naked as sin (probably origin of theat phrase). They walked upon the dry desert, Eve carrying their only possession, a withered apple core. The sun beat down on their unprotected heads. Adam was in a foul mood, he looked at Eve and said::"Well, do you have any other Blanking, smart-assed ideas??" Granted, this is a sexist remark, but men weren't as senitive in those days as they are at present. The usage of this word might have been used on other planets, but as far as my research takes me, I don't think this theory can be pre-dated. Incidentally, I have done more research on this project than all of the analysts in the world did on BRE-X.........your humble researcher, nysebob2
