I was simply trying to let everyone know about a free service that allows you to get phone messages while you're on line (assumming you only have one phoneline like me). Sorry. However, to the Prick who notified hotmail about this happening, I really wish you would have simply let me know. The hassles I've been through the last 2 days; trying to retrieve lost mail, saved messages I hadn't got to yet, information on how to get minidiscs to a wave file, dice em and get them on cdr, all lost. Not to mention my hour wait on hotmail's non toll free #650-964-7200, only to find out my old account and everything in it is now non-accessable. Nobody likes a tattle tail.

I know with his 3 marriages and 2 families and narcissistic life, he hasn't kept up on music, so I decided to do a vocal comp. Including my personal faves: Nick Cave, Morphine, Mr. Cohen, RH (more than one) and Mr. Waits, I added Dead Can Dance and some more ambient stuff... Anyway - my notice was following "Antwoman" with "Season of the Witch". Is this just me or do they seem to have, albeit a timing difference, much in common??? Just a thought...

Seeing that you don't know what an earwig or dermaptera are, I suggest that what you call an earworm is a creature that we call an earwig. The literal translation doesn't mean anything in english, but earwig does. Perhaps the germans call the earwig "Ohrwurm" and translate it as "ear worm" even though we have another name for it. Sort of like when I say "Mountain Lion" to some folks and they think I'm full of shit because lions don't live in North America, but they're well aware of cougars. You dig? That's my guess, anyway.

The >literal translation doesn't mean anything in english, but earwig does. Nope. The literal translation does have meaning in English. According to the dictionary, an earworm is a moth - the larvae (the wormy stage) being a pest to corn - and an earwig is one of those little suckers with pinchers. http://poplaracre.com/VGPestGallery.html Of course, an "ohrwurm," while literally translating as "ear" + "worm," might still be an earwig. - --Jason "Only the few know the sweetness of the twisted apples." - Sherwood Anderson ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2000 12:13:44 -0800 From: "Jason R.
