Yeah, but it sort of makes you wonder how they planned to do it. In Taltos for instance, if my memory is not deceiving me (it's late and I'm tired so it might be), M & S planted an "idea" into the brain of Vlad's button-man in order to get him to seek refuge in Dzur Mountain; if I recall correctly they did this by witchcraft (not AFB, but too exhausted and not caring enough to go look this up and it's the only example I remember at this moment :), so if anyone feels like going and getting the exact passage please feel free). Therefore, we know that it is probably possible (never a good idea to be too definite) to plant ideas into the head of another... but then with sorcery...well though I am not seeking an effort to add to the vagueness here, *shrug* I don't know. :) tee hee hee, doesn't everyone just love statements that offer absolutely nothing? ~Holly :) *giggles, sighs, smiles, waves to everyone, wonders if playing on the internet at 1 a.m. is such a good idea decides probably not, will go listen to music now and maybe go to bed, night all :) * _________________________________________________________________ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
