You nailed it Jim, I was taking a break in the sun opposite a sculpture on the Eindhoven campus, when I noticed the similarity of what was left of my sandwich to that piece of art. A few more nibbles and there it was .. a 10,000 dollar sandwich fragment. What gall must it take, to go to the Mayor with my half-eaten sandwich and tell him that for only $10k I will build him a twenty ton replica and put it on his lawn? Alan Hull
