Installing it should be fairly easy. It sits on the countertop, next to the sink. There's one hose that screws onto your water faucet, and then a drainage hose that I'm assuming just goes into the sink.

The only possible snag, I think, might be if the hose doesn't screw onto the faucet as is. You might have to pick up an adapter to put on the faucet before you can attach the hose.

Including Ms. Grey?

Have you read The Da Vinci Code yet?

Stu, I read the Da Vinci Code and absolutely was blown away by it! It was amazing.

Funny thing is that one of my favorite history professors (a Byzantine and Late Antiquity historian) had always hinted to the class many of the things discussed in the Da Vinci Code, and in retrospect may have been holding back on a lot of the stuff. Since reading the book, I've done some research on the scrolls found in the Nag Hammandi library (gospel of Mary Magdeline, etc.) and read a few other books on the Holy Grail and bloodline of Christ and have found a ton of interesting stuff by historians and scholars who provide some good evidence, analysis and theories on all of the ideas presented in the Da Vinci Code. I'm absolutely hooked now! I'm totally convinced that no matter what the truth is, there is definately an alternate version to Mary Magdeline and the Holy Grail story that the Church fought against throughout the Middle Ages!

What do you think? I'm assuming you read the Da Vinci Code, did you enjoy it?

I've read a little bit about that too. Sure sounds like an interesting alternate religion.

I read the Da Vinci Code as well and was fascinated. What else do you suggest I read?

For Christmas I got a fisherman knit sweater from Scotland, a wooden mask from Bali, two wooden wine boxes, some table linens, a crystal bedside water caraffe, Escape from New York DVD, Seabiscuit DVD, Rocky and Bullwinkle DVD - the complete first season (with Fractured Fairy Tales, Aesops Fables, and Sherman and Mr. Peabody), two cook books, a cap, the Atom Archives Volume 2, a Mercedes Benz sweatshirt, and last but not least, a chip collector attachment for my thickeness planer (does anybody know what that is? I do.)

Okay, that's the tenth reference to the Da Vinci Code I've heard this week! What is it about?

Arachne, The Da Vinci Code is a really fun, fast read, with lots of unexpected plot turns. It's the perfect holiday or beach novel. I won't say it's great literature, but it's thought provoking and so much fun to read. It's a murder mystery that involves the Catholic Church, one of it's extremist cults, the holy grail, Mary Magdelene, and the attempts of the church to rewrite history. I don't want to give anything away. But it's really fun.

And my reading list just got that much longer...

What's on your reading list right now?

Green Rider, The Legion Companion, Borderlands of Science, Battlestar Galactica (those are the ones I'm currently reading), The Dog Who Would be King, In Search of Frankenstein, Greatcoats and Glamour Boots, Canadian art in the Twentieth Century, First Riders Call, Spirits in the Wires, Blade Dancer, the Monstrous Regiment, The Foundation Trilogy... I'm probably forgetting a few. :7

Arachne, one of the best things about my visit to Ottawa last June was going to the National Art gallery. Having grown up being taught about the Group of Seven, I was actually moved to tears to see many of those paintings in real life. Whether they are one's style or not, they are so much a part of being Canadian.

I do too.

So what is it, STU?

I got the DK Guides to Wonder Woman & the Xmen, plus a Liger Zero Zoid.

Is it a DeWalt?

As a matter of fact, it is a DeWalt - the 13" thickness planer. Good guess Scott. Do you have one?

I'll politely decline from explaining in detail (since this is an all-ages message board).

Suffice it to say, you should be more than satisfied with your thickness, Semi!

No, just wish I had one. I have to sort out Caroline's Dad's old stuff and see what he has before I start building my own collection.

STU, you're so rude, even for a despicable despot.

Well I didn’t do to badly. I got a new hi fi system, a CD player for the car, some clothes a bottle of Port and a bottle of Sloe Gin. (Do you think they are trying to tell me I drink too much  ) Also got some smelly’s and the extended DVD issue of the Two Towers. Oh and as a bit of silliness two videos, the origins of the silver surfer and the Fantastic Four cartoons.

Far, I always knew you were hip to be .

The bestest present I received was that my digital camera, which I thought was broken, magically started working again.

Oh, and the usual, it just isn't Christmas if I don't get socks.

I second that Chucks! I look forward to getting socks every year! Otherwise, my poor feet would be so cold in January...
