I understand the point you're trying to make, Annette (I think, anyway) but "Woman lives whole life with half a brain" doesn't deserve it. It's certainly not a "Chess player's head explodes" type of item (see http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~mrubinst/hce.html ) It's actually from the very respectable PBS programme, Scientific American Frontiers, and may well be worth a viewing. It's a rare case of a woman with a congenital loss of one hemisphere of the brain, the left, no less, and her remarkable recovery from this staggering disability. http://www.pbs.org/saf/1101/segments/1101-6.htm Stephen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Stephen L.
