ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** As my linguistics professor Dr. James Macris used to say, "puns are the lowest form of humor, and the highest form of language".
