	I had always wondered what 'pataphysics is.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pataphysics

	Either this fellow is being a bit playful, or he is taking 
Jarry a bit too seriously.  ;-)

	"Maxwell's Silver Hammer"?  I never knew that's how the 
song went:

	Joan was quizzical, studying 'pataphysical
	Science in the home.
	Late nights all alone with a test tube,
	Oh, oh-oh-oh...

	I wonder whether you could get a doctorate in 'pataphysics 
from Miskatonic University with a thesis on the SB428 
manuscript, and then give seminars at 1999 euros a head on it?

	Which reminds me.  Rene, have you gotten anything out of 
Frau Papen yet?  ;-)
