[blparent] the meaning of no

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Mine did, too.  Very scary.  She grabbed the top bar with her hands, 
shimmied up the rails with her feet till her weight on the rail reached 
critical mass, and dumped herself out on her head.  She cried, but freedom 
must have been worth the cost, because once she did it the first time, she 
wouldn't stop.  I guess maybe she was fourteen or fifteen months old.

I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's 
brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and 
died in cotton fields and sweatshops.--Stephen Jay Gould
