I saw the second one before, although it must have changed. It certainly became funnier. The first one started a "one-upsmanship" battle with TLC kicking in his/her own special brand of wit....I quit reading after Janice threw in comments. Hallmark of a Flame, Part 2. It will tend to "thread" creating a series of copycat crimes each trying to outdo the first. The entire FBN Threads are pure plays in such efforts. Kevin Watson should be required reading for even the most advanced, post-grad, flamers.

1. Laboratory for Molecular Robotics Molecular Robotics is an emerging and highly interdisciplinary field that seeks to produce new materials and devices at a nanometer scale, by direct interaction with atomic structures. Whereas conventional chemistry relies on bulk phenomena such as diffusion to create self-assembling structures, Molecular Robotics manipulates structures by applying external forces and precisely positioning atoms and molecules. It is a revolutionary technology, which attempts to provide fine control over the structure of matter, analogous to the fine control we can now exert upon the bits and bytes of information structures. Future applications range from very fast and small computers to nanorobots and self-replicating machines. Nanorobots might be programmed to recognize and repair specific kinds of cells, and to perform a large variety of other tasks that are now impossible to accomplish. Large structures might be built by using massive parallelism. The technology has the potential for major scientific and practical breakthroughs. However, today we lack most of the tools necessary for realizing the dreams of Molecular Robotics. Research opportunities abound. www-pal.usc.edu Tx
