I became used to being mistaken as the secretary. It had some advantages: I was always well informed what was going on, the most interesting stuff would end up on my desk. Best, B.

What is the precise form of this symmetry? What broke this symmetry? I don't know. :-) ;-) I guess there should be a supersymmetry between men and women. What is the precise form of this symmetry?

There is a 1-1 correspondence between one's personality type and a certain personal style. Even those who try to counter the stereotypes use the same old imagery to get their points across.

But I would, I could, and I should venture to ask ST, if the Megaverse is ultimately Republican, ooops not a good augury for the Queen of England (or other remaining Monarchies). Or perhaps the Megaverse is a democratic republic and allows for anomalies such as Monarchy, Right Wing Republicans, the odd dictator or two (fortunately a disappearing species) and the odd Theocracy. ooooh I feel I'm skating on very thin ice here, could it be the Megaverse is really a democratic Theocracy, which allows individuals to disappear into their own proverbial black holes. - Interesting argument from Leonard Susskind on what may or may not come out the other side of a black hole. Now, I'm not saying I disagree with him, I'm merely pointing out it is a fascinating 'concept' - Q Since I’m guessing this is humour day, I shall not ask String Theorists if the Megaverse is male of female, since it has clearly ‘created’ both sexes.
