An exact copy is apparently created somewhere else. I'm the victim of a crime, I woke up this morning and found that every bit of furniture in my house had been stolen and replaced by an exact copy. This is dreadful, I'm calling the police! >Since it behaves exactly like the original, no one else is alarmed and since >the original is dead, there's no one to complain. The original (whatever that means) is not complaining, the copy (whatever that means) is not complaining, and my friends (I know what that means) are not complaining. So pardon me for asking but, what exactly is the complaint? >Kirk died a thousand deaths. I hope so, it would mean I'm dead too because I'm quite literally not the man I was a year ago. If that's what you mean by death then death is no big deal. John K Clark Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=13702
