Okay. So, there was this guy a couple years ago who was running some sort of New Age cult based on nature worship and he wanted me to compose a "Hymn to Fire" in Degaspregos. I politely declined, but that didn't stop him from mentioning me and my language on his website. ========================================================================= Thomas Wier "I find it useful to meet my subjects personally, Dept. of Linguistics because our secret police don't get it right University of Chicago half the time." -- octogenarian Sheikh Zayed of 1010 E. 59th Street Abu Dhabi, to a French reporter.
