No, I don't know Thief of Time, though I'm a great fan of Terry Pratchett. Thanks for the tip. I'll seek it out.<br /><br /><b>Hank </b><br />Absolutely! How could it ever have been otherwise?<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />It probably considers us a second short of a minute, don't you think?<br /><br /><b>daydreamertoo </b><br />I had the same sort of thoughts about spelling. When my teacher said D-O-G says dog! I thought <i> Why should it? Why shouldn't it say House - or any other word?</i> I did, though, always remember what she thought it said - and said that when asked.<br /><br /><b>anthonynorth </b><br />Not necessarily... I think! Thanks for the response.<br /><br /><b>Tumblewords </b><br />Thanks for this. Most encouraging.<br /><br /><b>Leovi </b><br />Ah, good question... I wonder.<br /><br /><b>Helen</b><br />Lovely of you to say so, thanks.<br /><br /><b>Tess </b><br />I have to agree with you there! Wouldn't that be useful?<br /><br /><b>Mary </b><br />I've always been fascinated by the difference betwen making sense of (the poet) and understanding (the scientist). You have resurrected the issue for me. Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Cloudia </b><br />Thanks Cloudia. Mush appreciated comment.<br /><br /><b>Gerry </b><br />Thank you so much.

It moves through a life of its own. But when time is interspersed with snorts and grunts then it creates music that prevents others to enjoy 40 winks. As a bonus it can be a good laugh though!

A very cool response to the prompt. I once again bring up Terry Pratchett--Have you read a Thief of Time? Wonderful. I think you'd like him/it because he is also very philosophical. k.
