Actually, you are very enlightened to have found this solution intuitively. One could also study hard in math or language to increase left-brain activity. We take for granted that creative/artistic personalities have more of these problems, but there is no record of a mathmatician cutting off his ear. ;-) jim -- jim@... http://www.entrance.to/madscience http://www.entrance.to/poetry ICQ:16531148 amicus certus in re incerta Quote

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 The Week is a publication that comes out once a week, and summarizes articles from major international and domestic news organizations. Short, to the point, non-biased reporting of information that is the best bathroom read I’ve ever come across. -----Original Message----- From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Elsie L.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Posted December 23, 2008 Seriously, stop with the brain comments. The first time was enough. And it is completely different. If you're trying to make a point, you're missing it. Come up with something a bit better. Quote
