"where" is not a suburb as such, never mind a nice one. (The person alluded
to has a doctorate in chemistry; is that D.Phil?; since Oxford gives
mathematicians a Batchelor of Arts, it may well be).

A badge of art.

Today, aol advertises the new of the day: face of Da Vinci uncovered. As if
anybody cared!
Anyway, from the Diary of Popper:
"Today I have to answer this letter. It comes from someone who obviously
knows me very well, one Donal McEvoy"
Lady Popper: Where is he writing from?
Sir Karl: London.
Lady Popper: What zip code?
Sir Karl: zip my zipper.
Lady Popper: But you have shopping to do -- and the dog.
Popper stands up and goes to his room,
Dear Donal
crosses this out,
starts anew
Dear McEvoy,
... and the rest is history.
That night, he wrote, "History works in a mysterious way. There's the
butterfly effect, and there's the madama butterfly effect. I feel like Madama
Butterfly today -- I have _one_ admirer! And he loves me and I love him! Then
there's the Cleopatra's Nose effect, I love my nose and I trust McEvoy has a
nice
one too."
Cheers,
JL
