Quite amusing prospect Gary, the study of garbage. If crime fiction is to be
believed it happens all the time these days.

I was a little concerned about 'bonked' - more than one meaning probable
there. Also a spell-o, perhaps - 'crossed-bred' should be 'cross-bred'?

Cheers Gary - you've entered the science now and becoem a garbologist.
