To GUEST, Dan: Whew! Glad to hear no offense was taken, since none was meant. Thanks for the compliment!

To Bert: Wish I'd read your post before I saw you last Sunday; I could've dealt with you then. But I'll see you again soon, so keep ducking! ;^)

LH/Amos: I don't know about tunnels and Howard Cosell and such, but I had a friend in college who had an out-of-body experience during an operation (real? or a side effect of anesthesia?), and I myself have had the experience of watching my life flash before my eyes (across the grill of a school bus as its brakes locked and it slid toward my car... it stopped just in time, fortunately, and never touched me!). Still, I don't believe these experiences have anything to do with the supernatural, just with the brain itself.
