"Then its a deal?" said Dr. Eckert "Sure!" Todd shook his hand when he extended it. He knew that if he had the resources that the University had, he could figure out the cause of Al's low IQ in quick time. This was going to be the best thing that could have happened to him! "When can I start?" "Well, we need you to write up a thesis on the evolution process with your views in it. Then you can come here as soon as you can!" Dr. Eckert smiled. Todd groaned. Another thesis? Oh well, he thought, its really worth it! "Sure Dr. Eckert! I'll have the thesis, and I'll be back here to work with your team!" "Good to hear it, Todd. See you when you're finished." With that Dr. Eckert turned to go back to his studies in the University. "I can't believe it!!" Todd stood in the parking lot in shock for a good 10 minutes. <TBC> -- Mewtulator GODZILLA [bent down and examining four humans and a dog] "And I'd've gotten away with stomping Tokyo flat too if it hadn't been for you kids!" -Star-Silver "The older I get, the better I was."
