Moses led the Jews to the Promised Land, - the three week walk from the Nile to Jerusalem taking only 40 years. Be careful who you ask directions. Dai Penweddig, similarly 'inspired', left Cardiff Arms Park in 1978, and turned up back home in Ammanford, in 2005, in time to watch Wales win the Grand Slam again. Of the intervening years he could recount nothing, and died that very night, happily thinking Wales were ever good at rugby. But what distinguishes inspired eternal truth from tedious grating psychosis? Wel, according to Idris, it's about three cans...
A spider spun a web of gold
To catch a silver fly
And baser beaten leaden ants
Looked up into the sky
They climbed to make a pyramid
To reach the golden threads
And each the higher climbed upon
The greater numbers heads
The golden Sun, the silver rain
Falls free upon the Earth
And ants who learn geometry
May fly for all they're worth.
REJ:- Hmmm.....I preferred you in the wilderness -
Idris:- It's a money spider.

I think he's reading Keynes now ...
Yes, It's genius. There's no other word.
