Science is meaningless without Philosophy. Context, you know. On a side note: What about the Drake Equation? I was thinking about this, and God, the other day. And bits of The Golden Compass and Speaker for the Dead. But it's the math that's curious. By the numbers, something is fishy. Is it God? Aliens? Mater/Energy itself, sorta? As you said, it's us putting science on the world, not the other way around. How FUN! I hope it never ends. Or is constantly ending and beginning, perhaps. Ah well. Enough air-headed-ness, I've got some contract work to finish. It's open source, of course, because I like to have my cake and eat it too (and to make the world a more code-filled place(there's plenty of space)). Man, I'm feeling silly. Tee-hee-hee! I also think I may have pink-eye and a broken (at least bent) pinkie finger. And for the tres, heh: Still pretty much sitting pink. Um, yup, that's it. Sorry for the temporary derailment there. In reality, I love it all, 'nuff said. -- The telephone book is full of facts, but it doesn't contain a single idea.
