Denise,
You burst my bubble. I thought the Internet was a series of tubes.

I think I like William Gibson's internet. (Mona Lisa Overdrive, Neuromancer, etc.)

and to go through the circle of thought,when you think about wonders,we are back to evolution AND LOOK AT US!!!!riding a bicycle,propelling ourselves forwards,upwards.........on a pair of skinny wheels when we are designed to walk!not too sure if this means our brain is a wonder,or just a complete adoration of the human body.SHOWS WE GOTTS LOOK AFTER OURSELVES!
