Lewis' opinion of Narnia movies.

I'm guessing Lewis would not like these too much.

Epsilon:
1. n. A small quantity of anything. "The cost is epsilon." 2. adj. Very small, negligible; less than marginal. "We can get this feature for epsilon cost." 3. `within epsilon of': close enough to be indistinguishable for all practical purposes, even closer than being `within delta of'. "That's not what I asked for, but it's within epsilon of what I wanted." Alternatively, it may mean not close enough, but very little is required to get it there: "My program is within epsilon of working."

Alternatively: The latest tropical storm. At least this one seems unlikely to make landfall in Florida--or anywhere else.

Anyone else wondering if we will see a hurricane at Christmas?
