That is, in fact, very very very funny Brian. Laughed out loud when I read this one. Especially since the word root derivative of the word Citroen is "lemon" or "citrus" depending on the language. ...and the fact that a member of animalia has either knowingly or unknowingly elevated himself, if only in name, to the "Breath of (Plant) Life" Humorous, and yet, also noble at the same time. I can see where the Biologists and Botanists would get a lot of highly specialized "mileage" out of that one. Thanks again for the really great laugh, Brian L Sparks-Dunlap ---------- >From: Brian Skiff <bas@xxxxxxxxxx> >To: az-observing@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [AZ-Observing] Re: Web Sites >Date: Tue, Nov 8, 2005, 00:14 > >>> ...highly specialized structures known as stomata. > > There's a guy in Flagstaff who fixes out-of-the-ordinary European > cars (Citroen etc), and to avoid getting phone calls he had himself > listed in the phonebook under the name 'Vito Stomata'.
