Nope, I havn't been counting, which is wierd. Last time I had it down to hours, but now, I dunno, just can't be bothered I guess, it'll be here sooner the less I agonise about it.

I think I read that somewhere, anyway. Stupid memory not working very well today. Maybe it was Ian Stewart, that name sorta rings a bell. Was there a Wood as well? although I'm probably mixing it with someone else.

Anyway... The next person can fold a paper crane, or knows how to fold something else with oragami.

Edit: O.K. what's the nickname for Richard? *That* Taylor
