Something funny going on in cyberspace. I have received this message from
Andy to Linda, but never received Linda's original message to the server.
When visiting these web sites I clicked on one mentioning puka necklaces and
it froze my computer. As most of you probably know, puka "shells" are
actually foraminiferans. Some years ago (before the web) I spent a lot of
time finding enough references to "puka" for some dictionary to consider
listing it as "real" word.
