I assume that when they come back, some will be saved for experiments (maybe in formaldehyde?). then they become PRESERVES :-). >------------------------------------------------------------------------------ >Internet : jdeitch@umiami.miami.edu | "Good musicians execute >------------------------------------------------- | their music but bad ones >"I'm a Time Lord.
