George, let us know when you find some of the primitives, because there would 
be an interest here in the U.S. for A.I. to broaden our gene pool. I know 
there are some. I see them every once in awhile in films. One of the Beatles 
had some that look just like ours. I can't remember if it was Paul or George.
