      - more interesting is:what will be the human factor in the sandwich? - Danedukenuuk Apr 28, 11:37
      - speaking of bacon, see my linky above. -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 11:37

    - i thought it was 2 swine, 1 human, and 1 avian -- nm - zork Apr 28, 11:41 4
      - I think you're right. -- nm - loosilu Apr 28, 11:45
      - Even if you're right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not "one plus two plus one plus one." -- nm - Wadsworth Apr 28, 11:43 1
        
        I *love* you sometimes. -- nm - mary land loves mandy lane Apr 28, 11:45
