<OT> I don't think that's a coincidence; both are from other planets and both are rather evil[tm]. Kodos the Executioner, arguably human, became a dictator who had thousands killed (by his own account, not to let the rest die of hunger); Kodos the slimy extra-terrestrial is a conqueror (and he likes to zap humans as well ;-)) [BTW, Tarsus IV, a planet where thousands (would) have died of hunger and have died in executions was probably yet another hidden Star Trek euphemism. I have found out that Tarsus is, among other things, the name of a collection of bones in the human foot next to the heel. Bones as a reference to death aside, see also Achilles for the heel. But I'm only speculating here.] </OT> -- \\//, PointedEars (F'up2 trek) Bitte keine Kopien per E-Mail. / Please do not Cc: me. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
