Yeah, Nancy, I loved the "pitbull on a pant leg" line...it was kinda funny that it was Clark describing Lois. Wait until the future, when she suspects that Clark is Superman....
Anyway, re: LabRat's chip: he had an ID microchip that is scanned to locate the owners, but there was also a GPS chip that Clark didn't know about....specific to Luthor's satellites...back in the late 90's these types of chips would have been really state of the art....in fact they are just coming on the market now in 2007 - mostly they are attached to a pet's collar...they give the exact location of the missing animal (right now they cost about $300 and there is a monthly monitoring fee of about $15/mth - if your pet wanders past the default boundaries, you get a text message on your cellphone with the exact whereabouts of your missing pet - how cool is that??)
Anyway, I'll make sure that gets clarified in a future chapter.............
Thanks for the feedback!
