As much as it surprises todays kids, there once existed days when no one had ever seen a graffiti! Then the first one appeared: the simple text "Kilroy was here", in 100s of places, written in simple handwriting, not the elaborate block letters used today by taggers. That was AFAIK some time 1970s in the US. L.A., IIRC. P.S: What is "kilroy silk"? We have no US television (apart from a few blockbusters like Startreck, Miami Vice or X-Files) here outside the US. -- Neil Franklin, nei...@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ Hacker, Unix Guru, El Eng HTL/BSc, Sysadmin, Archer, Roleplayer - Intellectual Property is Intellectual Robbery

Bit of a minor celeb in general, but 'kilroy' the show can be quite interesting sometimes. Nothin excitin really. ..B..
