It's funny how language works and how the same annoying party songs spread themselves around the globe! I bet you even have the "Birdie Song" and "Superman" over there, not to mention "The Time Warp"? :: Is this 'Time Warp' from Rocky Horror?? But I'm not sure of "Superman" or "The Birdie Song"... Yesterday, in a British bookbinding text I saw dormant insect larvae refered to as 'comatose', a term which I've never heard used in that context before..! my favorite difference though is the product known as 'Oil of Olay' here int he states, but in Britain it's called 'Oil of Ulay' (you may remember me puzzling over this before..) though it's exactly the same product. Then I wax philosophical about it, because they're both just meaningless product names, the essence of the moisturizer is the same inside... blah blah blah Robin T in need of sleep desperately!!! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 18 Aug 1999 16:09:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Elaine Linstruth Subject: Re: Alloy: (OT!)
