That's an idea! In Wenedyk (UTF-8): "WomieÅ„ punie si mÄ™du, prokód portretar mÄ…d. Par onie iÅ‚ popÅ‚a szpac ku imażeni prowiÄ™czar, rzeniór, mÄ™ciór, bajar, nakÅ‚ar, izÅ‚ar, pieszczór, kÄ™brar, wycięźlar, Å›cioÅ‚ar, kawałór i ludzi. Kart prze mrocie, iÅ‚ dziekoprze, kód labirynt paciÄ™ci liniar szekwie imażeÅ„ Å‚u faczeje." Jan __________ "The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain." — G'Kar quoting G'Quon, Babylon 5 http://steen.free.fr/ __________________________________________________________ Sent from Yahoo!
