Funny–From your Dopername, I always had you pegged as studying math or something allied to it. I thought your name had something to do with the mathematics of permutations, i.e. the b[sup]th[/sup] permutation, and you just put the extra i in to make it more pronounceable.

I’m just trying to figure out what’s so fun about geology.:confused:

You’re not the only one. I have a blast with dissection and chemical reactions. Rocks - not so much.
