BL> ROFL!!! Either you are being very sly, or
BL> you need to look up the meaning of "prosaic".

BG> I was actually quite serious, and was just about to tell

BG> Prosaic adj. 1. commonplace or dull, matter-of-fact or unimaginative.
BG>              2. having the character or spirit of prose as opposed to
BG>                 poetry, as verse or writing.

BG> In case you wondered, in its original context, mine is definition #2.
