   true in some cases... just like hanging/bowing your head has different   
   meanings, so does kneeling...   
      
     eg:   
         kneeling before the guillotine   
         kneeling before the stocks   
         bowing one's head in shame   
      
   )\/(ark   
      
   And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was   
   so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected   
   up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing   
   the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn   
   it off.   
   ... I've GOT it together. You should have seen it APART!
