The best part is, the power is free, got from breaking down petroleum byproducts (smog) into harmless breatheable gasses. Another attractive feature is the brilliant, irridescent plumage. Kent, the man from xanth. <xanthian@Zorch.SF-Bay.ORG> <xanthian@well.sf.ca.us> [ This quote seems appropriate: "For four hours I have tried to contact the Ringworld. For four hours the inhabitants have ignored me. Their comtempt has been absolute. Not a word have they vouchsafed me. My muscles are trembling for lack of exercise, my fur is matted, my eyes refuse to focus, my sthondat-begotten *room* is too small, my microwave heater heats all meat to the same temperature, and it is the wrong temperature, and I cannot get it fixed. Were it not for your help and your suggestions, Louis, I would despair." --JoSH]
