And you sir, are to be commended for waiting 13 years to comment. Most
people count to ten but you seem to have waited a bit longer to
ventilate and share your caring and sensitive feelings. Thank you for that.

I do have sad news though. The original poster lost his life in a
storm. One night the power went out and the basement started to flood
so he hopped on the bicycle and started pumping. he did well until
darkness came and it was time to feed the gerbils. He got off the bike,
fed the gerbils and on the way back to the bike, slipped in the water
and drowned. Thirty gerbils tried to rescue him but they too drowned as
they got cramps from going in the water after eating.
