===================
 -=> On 02-19-07  22:07,  Michael Loo <=-
 -=> spoke to Dale Shipp about Book 89 <=-

 DS> Are the featured articles for previous days listed someplace?  I did

   Do you know the answer to that question?

 DS> not find such.   I did use WIKI search to find the correct book
 DS> though, only slightly hampered by Michael's paraphrasing of some of
 DS> the quoted material.

 ML> And I quoted the material exactly - in fact used the Windows
 ML> cut-and-copy. One might surmise that the article underwent some
 ML> editing since February 11, perhaps owing to the greater scrutiny
 ML> it achieved from its exalted position!

   I put some of the exact phrase in quotes and did not turn up the
   relevant article.   Later on, when I did discover the article that
   fit all of the clues -- I saw a paragraph that said the same thing
   but with not exactly the same words and sentence structure.

 DS> I grew up in Florida, and the only use I ever saw then of conch was
 DS> in their large shells as decoration (and as musical instruments). 

  As a teen, I could sometimes get three notes out of a couch shell.

 ML> It was always eaten in the West Indies, and the word was that
 ML> it was a great aphrodisiac. I know nothing about that claim,
 ML> but I will point out that since the stuff started being eaten
 ML> in Florida, the population of that state has grown greatly.

  Can't say that I have ever had it -- nor that I have seen it on a
  menu.   I think that I'd heard that it was too tough to eat.
 
 DS> guess times have changed:-}}

 ML> So they have. Alligators went from pest to protected to
 ML> farmed animal; now it seems they're getting back to the
 ML> pest stage.

   In my day, they were an unseen pest that was used to scare little
   children into behaving:-}}
