We should all read Borges, who may or may not have been related to Katje 
Borgesius, and then we would find out more about Sr. Bioy Casares, who 
may or may not be related to David Caesuras of "Lineland" fame and who 
may or may not be the same Bioy Casares who beat Martin Fierro at chess 
in Asuncion in 1976.  And what's all this stuff about legs?
