Amen to that - if the said Ganesh accepts grovelling from one
of Christian origin - though mind you, I thought Saint Jude
"When all other avenues are closed, he is the one to call upon,
and his help often comes at the last moment." was the boy to
invoke when things went awry during an IT project - the last
minute help ususally being an assignment to a different company,
where they had actually pause for 5 minutes before lashing
themselves into a frenzy of code production (for some reason
the mating habits of various lower vertebrates come to mind
here, as do calices and all sorts of sundry medieval mortification
devices).
