yup you're right james . i juggled the letters trying to find a middle name that would make jenny peter chambers an anagram, but couldnt do it. sigh. when a gag is being played i always hope for a sophisticated one. good satire is that which so resembles reality that one is unsure if the piece is actually satire. "jenny" was too obvious to be much fun. {8-[ i try to maintain a sense of humor even if the jokester is up to no good... {8^D

i worry somewhat that my post regarding transplantation of one's head onto the body of a chimp might be taken as a malicious chambers-like hoax, but it was not intended as a gag. perhaps baboons would be cheaper? can you take baboons from the wild? i dont think you can do that with chimps. the experiment only has to keep your brain alive for a short time until one can get frozen. spike
