Best way I can explain it is to note that SPAM is a trademarked proprietary manufactured food rather similar to scrapple. Nobody seems to know exactly what it is, they only know that it's reputed to be edible. I've eaten it, but that's only because I saw it come out of a can that was clearly labelled "food". I think that the whole point of spam is that while it might occasionally be amusing on a cracker as a nosh, nobody wants to find twenty pounds of it in their mailbox. -- Be kind to your | When the going gets weird the weird turn pro. neighbors even though | http://www.clark.net/pub/klaatu/ they be transgenic | Now. chock full of uninteresting links. chimerae. |-- Genesis 19:1-13 - Hebrews 13:2 -- ---- INCOMING! http://www.clark.net/pub/klaatu/incoming.html --------- "Sarah Connor?"
