@ Georg Snr - thanx, I see he's offline, so I hope he replies!
Something different - the eye on your profile, is it yours? Very interesting eye, wish I had bigger version to have a good look at the picture! In my studies in alternative medicine, I did a course in Iridology. It was presented by Dr Florrie Kerschbaumer, in association with the Felke Institut (Germany) who are in the forefront of this field, and involves the making of a diagnosis of medical conditions by looking at the iris of the eye. Records of this method dates back to 1670 (Phillipus Meydens - Dresden).
@ Michael - Hey Mike, I don't want to know what dictionary you're using!!!
