Impressive, isn't it?

It's amazing how well she (And I suppose your precedents) understood
stuff like the Heating Value of various types of wood, and could
precicely control teh temperature by observing the color of the coals
in the firebox.

....Yes, but if either of your grandmothers had wheels, would they be
wagons?

...That's part of what they tried in Houstopolis and San Antonio in
recent years. While they couldn't eliminate the booze sales, they
invoked some really asinine rules and regulations, and in Houston they
passed an ordinance requiring dancers to have a *license*, and if they
had anything on their record stronger than a parking ticket they
couldn't get one. The court later overturned that aspect, but licenses
are still required.


Now I'm getting an image of Stripperella with a Texas liscense plate on
her butt, and patrons competting for the right to put the renewal tags
on it.

This sounds like the way that Japanese master swordmakers knew
everything about everything when it came to heating, annealing, and
tempering their swords....wow, Zen and the art of cooking?

Well, PNG's better than both - unencumbered by any patents and any
browser newer than 3 or 4 years old ought to be able to render it fine.

All that said, Mary, you must REALLY be in the mood for nausea to want
to see something so horribly, mind-numbingly awful. I suggest a perusal
of rotten.com instead . . .

I need some perspective here.

Duh!

I really can't understand
how your

mind works.

You simply don't have the capacity to handle a mind like OM's. Try something
much simpler, like Bob Haller.

And thinking about it, that probably is indeed the case. In World War II
they managed to get invaded by both sides in the same war; which for any
country outside of the Balkans is quite a trick.

That's one way to put it - another is that they are the only nation to
have lost WW2 twice. (Once in 1940, and in 1943, when the Vichy forces
got tromped in North Africa)
