Even if a certain word is discussed in a dictionary to a certain meaning, that do not exclude every human to be a poet and use the word in a new sentence with a new meaning. To my understanding only singleminded persons read the bible with a beliefe that every word has only one meaning. I think it is nice that some poets or persons have humor. regards guran -- Slackware Linux Current 9.1 kernel-2.4.22
