I hope so much that there's no such thing as Global Worming, Art, it would be the end of the free world as we know it.

In the meantime, I stayed on s0da water for 26 hours and all symptoms have kindly buggered off. and I hope they're gone for good.

Perhaps I'm a global worming denier, they say denial is greatest in places like Australia, where the symptoms are the most extreme. I mean, they have those Giant Gippsland Earthworms, some of which I've been told are up to 3 meters long, and can be ridden like those Dune worms, if you get a few drinks into them!! (shudder)
