And let us not forget that (on-topic alert!) Clarke was also contending a while back that one of the big long cracks in Europa was too straight and long, and was therefore most likely to have been created by intelligent life. And given that "Mysterious World" show he used to host, it would really seem to me that he falls on the more credulous side of the spectrum. Maybe he's just being hopeful in his twilight years. I wouldn't begrudge him that, he's earned it... --Mark __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online.
