I bought the new Terry Pratchett Discworld book, "Eric",
today, and came across a footnote that may be of interest
to Katefans.  It concerns the spontaneous formation of matter
in the universe :-) ...

"... raw matter is continually flowing into the universe in
fairly developed forms, popping into existence normally in
ashtrays, vases and glove compartments.  It chooses its shape
to allay suspicion, and common manifestations are paperclips,
the pins out of shirt packaging, the little keys for central
heating radiators, marbles, bits of crayon, mysterious sections
of herb-chopping devices and old Kate Bush albums."

It gave me a chuckle, anyway.

Chris'n'Vickie, if you're listening, can I be added to that list
of Love-Hounds that you are compiling for the Convention?  Thanks.
