Now that's an interesting difference between England and America. What you call a cement mixer we call a concrete mixer, so to use the domometric term, concrete-heads would be more appropriate. I rather like that - Concrete as opposed to Abstract. Ooo.... and you forgot to mention the "Feet of Clay" since that is the material which gave rise to the ideas. >on the casimir force, thought this might prove of some use. > >http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/quant-ph/0408124 If you've actually read it and thoroughly understood it, Keith, you have my undying admiration.

Cheers Grimer ================================================ And Saul clothed David with his garments, and put a helmet of brass upon his head, and armed him with a coat of mail. And David having girded his sword upon his armour, began to try if he could walk in armour: for he was not accustomed to it. And David said to Saul: I cannot go thus, for I am not used to it. And he laid them off, And he took his staff, which he had always in his hands: and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them into the shepherd's scrip, which he had with him, and he took a sling in his hand, and went forth against the Philistine. ================================================
