I thought it was that in Italy they could burn lira to keep warm because its cheaper than firewood.

Hey cool - a job where the difference-feature in JavE is useful: 1. select the right hotel 2. choose the layer mode "difference" 3. move the selected hotel to the left over the other hotel 4. past the selection by right clicking somewhere else And the result is: :* : * Canada* * And I already thought about removing that option from the selection tool :) Markus -- \-/ http://www.jave.de O_< Get JavE4.0 now! \-/ J|a|v|E /| J|a|v|E /-\ Ascii-Art for eyeryone / \ - for free! /-\

Central heating do not produce smoke , as there is no fire. > Min s�n er �ndssvag og som s�dan ansat i min forretning. (Skadesanmeldelse) *hehe* .. Good one :)

Render, you almost og it, the fact is that Canadians would never turn their heating on in summer > I thought it was that in Italy they could burn lira to keep warm > because its cheaper than firewood. Too right, Italian Lira has always been cheap, but now it is even more cheaper, and it is good only for burning fires. The only point is that it is almost impossible to find it as it has been totally retired. > And the lack of smoke from Canada > is indicative of the Japanies ownership of lumber in the country. Or probably Americans ownership, as it happened already many years ago here in Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ ;. .: ~ ~ }oOOO< MC >OOOo{ ~ ~ ' ` ~ ~ ~ http://www-studenti.dm.unipi.it/~cerulli ~ _.. ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~( oO)~~~~~
