Thats a given. Similes (per "like"), as well as metaphors, are not literal. Thats their point. Its a comparison, not an equality that is being posed. Your response is like the observations of a blind man in a dark room. And don't go saying "but, duude, there is no blind man, there is no dark room"! :) ------------------------ Yahoo!
