My use of the term "jell" is nonscientific, and it may not be a jell
at all.  I was thinking of an implant like a tiny boob on wimmin, in
my eye.

Believe it or not, I am posting this from one of the eight FREE internet
access PCs set up by the Stat. Meeting folks.  I was down here browsing
another set of PCs to find out who are registered and learned to my
surprise that a FIFTH Ph.D. student of mine, who has been Dean at
the Grad School of Business of Auburn University is/will be at this
Meeting.  I haven't seen him for over a decade!  Hope to see him her.
