Yeah, I realized that after the fact, and haven't been able to figure
out how to get it to work  -  The replicate function looks promising,
but i could not get it to work in the couple of minutes that i played
around with it.  I will think about it-  if you figure it out send me
along the solution.

Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are
so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and
make us feel like gods.  We are mammals, and have not exhausted the
annoying little problems of being mammals.
