Yes, that's it -- Max of the Master Plan! ;-)

I also like the idea (again, with no hint of scientific proof) that there's a finite, fixed amount of energy in our universe, and that this energy cannot be created or undone, but only converted from one form to another. This could mean that no song ever sung, no sound ever made, and no word ever said, would really be "lost" -- they would be permutations in the endless dance of energy.

Just ask Joseph Campbell...

Cheers,
