Commedia dell' Alchemic? I take it that this isnt referring to open mike night at the Comedy Store for scientists trying their hand at standup, right? Or a scientific symposium demonstrating the use of Dell computers to send multimedia presentations across the Internet? If so, those scientists have been too long in the laboratory and need to get out side and smell the roses. (Normally, it would be "smell the coffee" but scientists are usually horrible at making the stuff. They like to tinker with the formula too often to get a consistent cup of decent brew. I think their sense of humor and what makes comedy funny is usually a little off too. Normal people just do not laugh at jokes based on the periodic table, as just one of many examples.) Sure they can put a man on the moon, but let them define the rules for a game of love? Seems like they would be more likely to circumscribe and study the anatomy than explore all the ways of the human heart. . . . . . All kidding aside, what exactly is Quatro (Zertz)? (Purgatory only visits, so I cant look it up and I do not remember much more than a Parcheesi looking board - you will have to forgive me for that inelegant description, but it is the best I can come up with at the moment). Does it have a purpose (expecting a flag would be too much) like Monopoly teaches you real estate skills and Masterpiece (thanks Tyson ... yes that was it!) exposes you to great art and Concentration trains your memory for position and number matching? Cause and effect sound universal, so does it illustrate the interactions of universal forces or principles?
