I've developed a great curiosity for what lies in the murky tunnels.
Seeing all the junctions and track (I often have my face squashed up
against the window to see out. Many a nose print has been left on the

There's no need to wonder as just about everything is well documented on
a half-dozen websites maintained by very knowledgeable enthusiasts (many
of whom contribute to this NG). There's also the Google archives for
this group and plenty of printed matter in the form of books.
And where's the fun in that, eh? 8)

about other elements of this world, about the motion and rotation or even
the magnitude and distances of the stars, about definite eclipses of the
sun and moon, about the passage of years and seasons, about the nature
of animals, of fruits, of stones, and of other such things, may be known
with the greatest certainty by reasoning or by experience. -- St Augustine
