These things tend to affect the literature of the period - the old testament being an example (frogs and locusts). I remember one significant _Wildcaps_ passage regarding earwigs. If this were an earwig year (somewhat overdue in New England, I believe), a repost would be most appropriate. -- nuts

Regardless of what it _looks_ and _sounds_ like. There's a story that Joyce was dictating some of _FW_ to Beckett and someone knocked on the door and Joyce said "Come in" and Beckett transcribed it and later on read-back Joyce said "Waitaminnit, what's that 'Come in'?" and they thought about it and realized what had happened and Joyce said "Leave it in" and they did. -- tinmimus99@hotmail.com smeeter 11 or maybe 12 mp 10 mhm 29x13 "What is art to me and my way of living?" replied the tumblebug, wearily. < _Jurgen_
