*grin* Better to wake up to that than a photon torpedo launch sound. (or "KHAAAAAANNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!") I have a friend in Michigan whose bird learned to say "This is Scifi." Drove her up a wall for a while. While she was watching Lexx, Invisible Man and Farscape, her bird (Maggie) was watching their commercial lead-ins. I think it's funny as heck, but out of self protective interests will no longer say so. My last suggestion, to film Maggie doing it and send it to SciFi for possible use in a commercial royalties met... resistance. I probably shouldn't have been laughing so hard at the time.... :-) Received the Men In Black II DVD a few days ago... there's a deleted scene with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones where you can distinctly hear Barry Sonnenfeld yelling at Smith "Don't make special effects noises!!!" Smith was apparently being overzealous in simulating what was going to happen on screen. :) Jon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
