Re: Klingon Question.
I figure that the ridges come from some Y2K non-compliant cryogenic system - probably run by WinDoze. See Bill had himself frozen to wake up in 50 years and see how things turned out - unfortunately it shriveled up his head and hardened in the 150 years it took for him to thaw out. Thus all of his progeny have these bumpy heads. Their aggresive behaviour can probably be attributed to all of the in-sleep Steven Segal movies BG watched. Now of course if he had used an Informix based app..... ;-) cheers j. "Mark D.

I think if you read the latest Gartner reports, you'll see that Informix databases are way ahead of their time, and probably too far evolved even for Klingons. Besides, if someone DID mess up the time continuum and changed the Klingon's evolutionary path, why didn't they just do a point-in-time recovery from archive?
