Well to quote one of my siglines
"The theorists have proven that this is impossible, but there's three  
of us and we're smart..."
Hmm, and right next it it -
"For those of you who are into writing programs that are as obscure  
and complicated as possible, there are opportunities for... real fun  
here"
That about covers it.
