I don't recall the thread, but I'd mentioned a system of categorising people that I and some friends had devised to prevent terminal boredom from setting in during Organic Chemistry class, using the nomenclature of side-chains on a benzene ring (IIRC - that was over 20 years ago!) We of course thought it terribly clever, but perhaps it was merely...aromatic. ;) > Yellow flag vibes seems obvious. A yellow traffic > light means caution. > Yellow flag in car racing is also caution. Yup - maybe I should have said 'they set my spidey-senses tingling.' ;) I really do pay attention when _something_ about a person/persons/situation sets off alarm bells in my head, or as self-defense teachers say, "Listen to your gut when it calls *Danger*!" > POD is the Prince of Darkness...or Price of Delivery. The former. Debbi who didn't know that Bionic Bill was a List member ;D Disclaimer: I did not intend to imply that all Satan-worshippers are inherently dangerous, or that my 'alarm bells' sound only around persons with that belief, or to denigrate the super-keen senses of comic book heros, or deprecate the fine scholars and scientists in the field of Organic Chemistry. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
