I actually forget the name of the movie (I am shocking with names). It was about a girl (dorothy?) who went to magic land where had to travel to OZ along a yellow brick road. She goes with her dog Todo and meets up with other characters (tinman, strawman and the cowardly lion). After much "journeying" they get to OZ only to have her wake up. Exactly at the place she started. The specific reference is one of the the things they say/sing/chant along the way. "Lions, and Tigers and Bears - oh my!" or something similar. Anyway if you know the film you can probably guess the reference ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
