"By our command, waters retreat"*

Thanks Ian for the heads up on this one.

The title comes from a line in a old song i think goes rather well with this post. So, for your listening pleasure;
From the Genesis album Foxtrot, "Can-Utility and the Coastliners" by Peter Gabriel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLCrTMHZVmE
