     I don't know how anyone can rationally expect to have their opinions respected if they don't keep the Old Testament, New Testament and Koran in their homes and talk it over with their kids. This is what being a parent is all about. I'd also suggest keeping MEIN KAMPF in the house too. It's quite an encyc on evil.

     The Fantasy and Sci-Fi book club offered it, and £30 book vouchers, to return to them. I have to buy 4 books off them over the next year in return. Hmm.... I'll buy my 4 and leave I think ;) See what they'll offer me next time. With a little luck I can get the Encyc of Sci-Fi too :D

     I need to find pictures and basic facts about the flying snake found in the Indonesian rainforests. I've searched the rec.pets.herp FAQ, a number of snake sites, on-line encycs and so on and I've had a lot of difficulty finding anything more.
