Oh 'course not. Not for atleast a week or more, while others 'play'. And who knows, having some quality beef jerky left, I just may tempt Batty for a few more answers.

Oh drat, ... you're probably right on that first one. That's what I get for trying to think AND do work at the same time.

Cal, do you like 
s? I know where a real haunted house is. 
Nick, the French word for ghost is very similar. I've not taken that much in the way of French lessons beyond listening to my father and grandmother and one year of a French class with a Swedish teacher. And, nothing in the way of Spanish lessons.
