   [chuckling faintly]
   I think its safe to say we hashed that idea out and debunked it
as a possibility fairly thoroughly, wouldn't you say, Mr Brown?
   [As an aside:] Its interesting that the idea continues to haunt
the minds of newcomers, though.  Memetically, it seems to
spontaneously assemble itself from the idea of an ALife form growing
online and the knowledge of Worms being possible.  I get the feeling
that, in general, its the expression of more supressed desire than
fear, though.
