        Your on!  No, wait, lets make it 10 bucks against a copy of your
        new book. : )  Will I have to have a verifying authority, or will
you
        take my word for it?  Marmoreus like other cone shells, textile and

        the tank all at the same time, and try to keep up with which one
        eats what first.  It might tilt the balance in my favor...
