I decided to check Webster's New Collegiate (second ed.) to see what "lurid" actually means. "Lurid _adj_ 1. Gastly pale; wan; dismal. 2. Appearing like fire seen through cloud or smoke; as Lurid lightning. 3. Harshly vivid or terrible; often, marked by violent passion or crime; as Lurid story. SYN. See Ghastly." Harshly vivid is at least apt. Perhaps in light of this the New York Post and N.Y. Daily News should consider switching to Kodachrome. If you will pardon me now I will go lie down for a while, I seem to be gastly pale; wan; dismal. --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx --- Rollei List - Post to rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx - Subscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'subscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Unsubscribe at rollei_list-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the subject field OR by logging into www.freelists.org - Online, searchable archives are available at //www.freelists.org/archives/rollei_list
