[QUOTE="cubenewb, post: 1084255, member: 25644"]Tomaska, Wexler, Heritage, and Breen, oh my! Reminds me of an old tale: "Two scholars at Cambridge in England were arguing about the amount of teeth a horse has. One man quoted Aristotle, the other vehemently cited St. Augustine. A monk over-hearing the conversation interjected "There's a horse out back, why not count the number yourselves?" He was subsequently smote and stricken from the company of learned men." Interesting to see the banter on this issue; unfortunately, being wholly ignorant of this subject, I can serve no use but contribute this irrelevant (though amusing, I think!) tale that reminds me of the circumstances present in this thread. Consider me the errant monk... although I have no horse to offer :([/QUOTE]
