So the cave painting is linked to the "great ressurection", eh? Warwick the Wandering Wizard gave us a few cryptic comments about this, which was supposed to happen in our near future. Sounds harmless enough really, doesn't it? > The Prof conjectured that some of the rituals may have occured already; > remember the huge statue which released the sun?

We could be the "guests" (modestly assuming that most 25,000-year old inscriptions found in ancient caves must be about moi), but I don't know if I like the word "hosts" though... > And other sessions last > year which didn't make any sense may now fit in with this > ritual/resurrection idea; time to go read the write-ups > Dom: He who has never had any cherries, or touched the wand. :) > "May the force be with you, always."
