Funny story: The hospital I work at was run by Nuns, most of whom are Irish. One morning while standing in line in ther cafeteria one of the Sisters asked me what I was reading. I told her it was a book about Cu Chullain. She immediately became very quiet with a fearful look on her face and slowly inched away from me, as if I had told her I had the plague. (Yes Ku Hullin<G>) It was quite comical at the time, and that particular Nun did not speak to me for months, and i never asked why either. <G> xponent Catholic Weirdness Even For A Former Altar Boy Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
