Indeed. Welcome to the list, Michael. Anybody who can mention Bart
Simpson, Thomas Pynchon, and the Beatles in the same message is okay in
my book.
It seems like there's a thousand answers. Like perhaps a wave from
center field from a beaver-coated girl wearing a catcher's mitt?
Regards,
Cecilia.
(I can't help but mention that my favorite Simpsons episode is the one
where Lisa accidentally creates life in a petri dish. The idea that
this whole thing is just a big accident made me grin. Oh, and the part
where Lisa exclaims, "Look Bart, I've created Lutherans!")
