Curtis,

I am not sure what point you are making.  What is the significance of #65? Also, if mitosis yielded 64 cells, how did #65 appear? If "he" left, that would yield 63 cells to divide into 126. If I missed something, I am curious to know what.

Something different. There's much I could read into it.

What I didn't like was you referring to the cell as a 'he'... I think you should drop the cell having a sex.

Curtis,

Some comments should never see the life of day.  Cast them into the nether world.

The math doesn't work for me.  you get to 64, and if one breaks away, there are 63, not 64.  And the lucky cell never divides again?  then, he's dead.  Cells divide or die, right?

And I don't see where this goes.  A comment on herd mentality?  I don't know.

Best
Richard

The only thing I could think of concerning 65 was either a reference to female genitalia or the thug code for the police arriving. Neither one fit the story, but maybe I am simply older and jaded.

Reviewers should note that Curtis is another fella' who posts his scripts while never participating in the actual forum itself.

Shame.  Would love to know what he had in mind here.

Last time you said that Bert, he popped up and commented ;-)

Curtis... you there?
