	Just what I was about to say.

	I'd also add that I basically figured the expression "mad as 
cheese" was an example of how some pretty much anything can be added 
to 'mad as' and as long as its suffiently random, it'll work. I've 
heard mad as a bus, for example.
	I do like mad as a three legged snake, myself.
	Cheers
