My conspiracy theorists know too much. They would question that mathematical claim of science, that retinas only detect one dimension of one force. Are we asking if something like that is fundamental to life? I have been very sceptical about emperical claims, especially since I just try to render stuff and play Tron. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
