And some folks still say machines can't replicate the subtleties of  
real human interaction. Hah.

OK, seriously... about Gator girl, does anyone know the extent of the  
repairs needed? I'd be glad to volunteer, and if it's just tightening  
some screws then no problem, but if it's more involved than that... I  
don't want to volunteer anything I can't deliver. Maybe I could hold  
a video camera to document the surgery?
