I would have been proud to stand in that line had I been anywhere near SB today. I even looked into the price of the airfare, which was about $800 round trip from Vegas. I have to draw a line somewhere. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I talked to her for about five minutes when I went to the see the Titan Arum. She was very cool. They had some carnivorous plants on the table, which she spoke about. We also spoke about gingko trees, whose female variety are known to produce a very smelly flower. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
