I have a better idea, also involving sugar. Since both of you seem convinced you are both "strong gurus," there is an old Yaqui test that could be used to determine once and for all who is really "stronger." Both of you go out into the desert, get naked, douse yourself with water, and then cover yourselves with sugar (the water is so that the sugar sticks to your skin). Then lay down on the ground and wait for all the creatures who will be attracted to the sugar to show up. The first one who gets up and brushes off all the ants and scorpions and other critters loses. That person is more attached. Unless the one still lying there on the ground is dead, of course, in which case you can flip a coin to determine who is more attached at that point...dead person gets to call heads or tails. Doesn't all this sound much more interesting than getting involved in yet another egofest on the Internet? ------------------------ Yahoo!
