I'm starting to think that the POv guys have been messing about with
some AI code...

Raytracing doesn't really take that long, that is a myth. POV-Ray uses
our processors(which are actually linked together, although you can't
usually tell) for processing portions of Ken's mind. The more we render,
the more processing power available for him.

humm..., that would mean that behind the pov-ray code there is a big
eastern egg.

That explains a LOT - including why of late his links page seems to be
so useful for stuff I'm looking for (e.g. OBJ2POV).

Now all I have to work out is whether what I'm doing while 4 PC's here
are rendering tilts what KenAI does, or whether KenAI also puts out
subliminal messages so that I just "happen" to want what he's already
found...

One correction sir- where you state KenAI that should read KenI as there is
nothing artificial about my intelligence what there is of it.

I did consider that - but thought the danger of you being referred to
by the obvious deminutive ("Kenny") too high and insufficiently
respectful...
