OW! Hey, it's BOTH. I think exp1 is more reliable, but www works as well, 
rerouting it to the express machine which picks one of the three exp# 
machines (exp1,exp2,exp3).

Anyway, there's a li'l essay there about Archaeopteryx, including a brief 
section about dinosaurian feathers, including a suggestion that dinosaur
feathers may be homologous (that IS the word I want, right?) to pterosaur
"hair".
