OFF TOPIC....
Nihil,
Thank you for the Pope Joan link, will check it out. Has been many years since I read the book I have and I forget author's name, I will try and find my copy.
When I first got on Silicon Investor, I thought it was only devoted to financial matters. Since then, I have found it to be a veritable Internet University and have met many informative posters and gotten valuble links.
Just to stay on topic, a quote from my Danish Grandfather.

" I yust learned how to say yelly and now they call it yam!!"

I have had similar frustrating moments in the field of learning.....
thanks again....nysebob2

Homage to James JOYCE Kilmer

I think I shall never see
a poem as lovely
as a quark *
A quark who gives off
nutrinos free
for all eternity

Atoms are split
by fools like me
but only God can see
a quark in its entirety..........Pedro Hijo

*= quark was taken from either Finnegan's Wake
or Ulysses...would appreciate if a literate "threader"
would scan both books and let me know for sure...TIA...Pedro
