Didn't you see the episode where Major Briggs showed Cooper the nifty little printout with the words "/THE/OWLS/ARE/NOT/WHAT/THEY/SEEM/" written on it?

He only said there were going to be three things that Cooper would "find to be true." -- bvickers@ics.uci.edu | "We cannot decide whether that which brett@ucippro.bitnet | we call truth is really truth or _____________________| whether it merely appears that way to us." - Heinrich von Kleist
