a little better, could be easily adopted by other european languages
and could be used regularly on the list. How long do you think it will
take literary thinkers and writers like some on the Ghetto list to get
it accepted by the Oxford Dictionary....

    hey, you're missing a *great* opportunity - why

instead of 'balderdash'

dave?

    as it turns out, herr baldauf is perzactly right

about the NYT story:

   'A reversal could knock out power grids, hurt

astronauts and satellites, widen atmospheric ozone

holes, send polar auroras flashing to the equator and

confuse birds, fish and migratory animals that rely on

the steadiness of the magnetic field as a navigation

aid. But experts said the repercussions would fall

short of catastrophic, despite a few proclamations of

doom and sketchy evidence of past links between field

reversals and species extinctions.

   'Although a total flip may be hundreds or thousands

of years away, the rapid decline in magnetic strength

is already damaging satellites.'

    maybe we could revive the old colonical tune the

british troops supposedly played as general cornwallis

abandoned yorktown -

'the world turned upside down.'

****************

"If buttercups buzz'd after the bee,

If boats were on land, churches on sea,

If ponies rode men and if grass ate the cows,

And cats should be chased into holes by the mouse,

If the mamas sold their babies

To the gypsies for half a crown;

If summer were spring and the other way round,

Then all the world would be upside down."
