Hi all, this is my first time posting but I wanted to jump in on this
one. <G>

I have a friend in the UK and we were discussing this same topic when
she tactfully pointed out that the US version of the book differs from
the UK in this case. While the US says "stopper death" the UK version
says "even put a stopper in death". This is a reference to a cork
basically, boring as that is...

Peace!
