Burt, *OFF TOPIC, Re: "Fleck has been putting out these "the world will stop spinning" messages for quite a while (MANY years)." Reminds me of an anecdote. An astronomer/mathematician is talking to a neighbor and they start talking about how bright the sun is that day. The astronomer says, 'well, you know, sometime in 10 or 20 billion years or so, the sun will run out of fuel, but supernova first and burn up the earth and all the other planets.' The neighbor grabs his chest, looking like he's having the big one as he falls to the ground. The astronomer revives him, saying 'what's wrong, all I said was the sun will probably burn out in 20 billion years'. The neighbor has a big sigh of relief and says 'oh, I thought you said 20 million*!' Fleckenstein, what a load. Tony
