Not that I want to hijack Paul's thread or anything, but is that why cops were called Fuzz? I could never figure that one out, because when I first heard the term as a kid in the 60's, I always thought of it as a Hippy term. I always thought it ironic (except that I didn't know what irony was back then), as it seemed to me that the Hippies were pretty fuzzy, but the police didn't seem especially so... <g> cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
