> Aaaargh! I know that story! It was AWESOME. I need to start writing down the authors and titles of really good short stories I read in collections, because I take them back to the library and then ten years later I can't remember ANYTHING that could help me get hold of it again.

I *hate* it when that happens. I knew the story too. I have it in a collection somewhere. So I asked around, and thanked a friend profusely for recalling:

"And He Built A Crooked House...", by Heinlein.

You can all sleep a little better now.
