Lots of planets have a North.
But I may need to check it out.

Well, it depends on the destination, usually. But in this particular
case, the journey's the point - because we all *know* the destination.

Bugger! I meant Jonson as in:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Jonson
Even if Baldric did so. There are plenty in America. It is used to help
determine the meanings of the words at the time of your constitution.

My turn to use the "S" word again.
Jimmy is a signifier that someone is from Glasgow. Every second person,
including women, is called Jimmy.
As long as you have a "y" or "ie" at the end of your name. It is okay.
Stevie is acceptable.

I've used it a couple of times to see what it is like. The problem for
me is that it is slow and grainy. I would rater use what little skils I
have with materials in PovRay.
There is an exporter in development. I was helping to test it before I
got too busy.
