Okay, thanks, I think that's a fine answer. Thank you for venturing a
guess about the subjective experiences of crocodiles.

I shouldn't need to tell you that it's not a crime against science to
make such hypotheses. (I'd say it's especially acceptable here on this
extropian discussion list, where ideas far more fanciful than angry
crocodiles are accepted as fact. :-)
