yup you're right james . i juggled the letters trying to find
a middle name that would make jenny peter chambers
an anagram, but couldnt do it. sigh. when a gag is
being played i always hope for a sophisticated one.
good satire is that which so resembles reality that
one is unsure if the piece is actually satire. "jenny" was too
obvious to be much fun. {8-[ i try to maintain a sense of humor
even if the jokester is up to no good... {8^D

i worry somewhat that my post regarding transplantation of
one's head onto the body of a chimp might be taken as
a malicious chambers-like hoax, but it was not intended
as a gag. perhaps baboons would be cheaper? can you
take baboons from the wild? i dont think you can do
that with chimps. the experiment only has to keep your
brain alive for a short time until one can get frozen. spike
