Conclusion: Dolphins ARE smarter than humans. Uh. Excuse me, but this *is* irrelevant, isn't it? Anyway, if environmentalists had had their way in the late 1800's, we would never have been forced to find an alternative to whale blubber in soap, women's undergarments and lighting. If we use up all the oil in the world, you can bet your heinie those same greedy capitalists will move heaven and earth to find another source of fuel/lubrication/whatever so that people would still buy cars. >This isn't entirely off-topic, I could use Informix to keep an inventory >of my >survival supplies after these two wing-nuts beef-up our swollen >armed-forces and >proceed to get us nuked. I think you might consider migrating to decaff and getting out a little more. (Ipse dixit.)
