<HTML>If I were to bend over and touch my toes I'd get a really supercilious look from Minsky. And an expression of extreme puzzlement from his dopey brother Chomsky. (Sorry, Noam - if I had had a clue how that cat was going to turn out, I'd have had very major second thoughts!)</HTML>

<HTML>Misspeling vyrus alert! lol
Actually, if you want to talk about _that_ sort of gnome, I've got a friend who I'm trying to persuade to become a Ffordian, and he'll be just right for this Fforum. He is writing a series of stories about Bung the Gnome Detective. (To avoid any possible misunderstandings, Bung is the character's name. Just so that's clear.)</HTML>
