Valve cover & Breather hose?

["" <abeck@ica.net>]

Is the hose coming off the valve cover in the centre the breather hose?  What 
does this hose do and where it is supposed to go?  Mine just has a couple of 
feet of hose that stops off just before it hits the fan (and judging by the end 
of the hose it used to stop just after it hits the fan).

It seems like maybe this hose was supposed to go to the charcoal canister?

What should I do with it to make it look a bit more neat?
