Joe,

Got a leather-bound copy of "The Demolished Man" by A. Bester, and I'm 
tearing through it, and it is the only other work that I've ever read 
that ever used the word "apotheosis".

Abosultely caught me by surprise!

Was it where you first remember seeing that word? Is writing sometimes
like that, where a word, or phrase or combination of words gets tucked
away deep in the dark corners for use ... later ... much later?

Great book, and brings a new meaning to "Peepers" ~ ~ ~ :)

  No duh, I love that show.  Fox Kids had a good line up there for a
while, now it just blows.  Fortunately, Comedy Central is airing the
Tick weeknights at 6:00 right now.
