Countess, your count is showing. If the answer
proffered for #1 was rejected because ``earth is
bounded'', shouldn't a similar objection count against
your #2 answer? At last count, there were no coconut
palms on this bounded earth of ours that had
``countless'' nuts hanging from them.
(BTW, even if there were infinitely many stars --- or
nuts --- they still wouldn't be ``uncountable''. Boy
does it feel good to beard a riddle by being even more
precise than it!)

Geetha, I can't speak for the ``curmudgeon'' :-> , but
if this refers to my ill-edited (ok, poorly written)
post, no offense was meant to you at all. Sorry about
that.

allright count, my translation was wrong. in #2, kaNakillAtha
here means one doesn't know the exact count. I just thought
I will translate for the benefit of those who can't red tamil.
I shd have left it to experts :-)
>(BTW, even if there were infinitely many stars --- or

so, what is the total no. of stars in the universe????

It was a response to curmudgeon and someone else who sent a email.
Not for your posting. rather this posting was posted even before yr
posting.
I have been around for enough time to know who (what) to take
serious and who (what) not :-)
Geetha.
ps: can anyone save me the postings of the story of Ramanuja for me??
I think they will disappear by the time i come back.

Ou. You blew my cover there. How'd you know I was
Count... Doraicula! Prepare to be bitten for thine
indiscretion. (No, not by me, before the righteous
brothers "bat" me over the head for this.)

Charming insult. However, it doesn't affect me one
bit. Clever and snide remarks about my credibility and
seriousness don't touch me in the least. I walk away from
your ironic mockery with no ill e
