Thank you Bill!!!!  I have felt horrible since answering the glow worm
question.
Especially in such a mundane manner.  I can't put the toothpaste back
into the tube but I hope you have given her a new mystery to ponder.

Now i have a question <g>.   Why do ripples in clear water have a shadow?
I mean, water doesn't have a shadow so why do the ripples?
