For the Gene PoolWhorl

Um, does it have to be in the form of a question? I feel like I'm dealing with a tricky gen-ie, and if I say "Can you give me a brief biography of Maytera Mint" the response will be "Yes. Next question." And I will have wasted my wish. By the way, you may have noticed that the Whorl and Urth archives are missing. That's because my web site has gone to mainframe -- or, I should say, has been deleted from mainframe. Luckily, I have shards of the site hidden away here and there; I hope to revive it within a week or so. ranjit "You can't coat a wolf in chocolate because the wolf already has its own fur" -- Three Mustaphas Three
