- Amen!
-
- It seems that the Cannonical :-) perl style is most closely related to Hinduism --
- consider the richness of its mythology and the seemingly endless scope of its pantheon,
- contrasted with the underlying principle that the multiciplicity of forms derives
- from a duality which arises from a unity which emerges out of nothingness.
-
- Who says you cannot be a minimalist and have a case statement too!
-
- But what we really want to know is: do your curlies cuddle up to your elses?
