Yeah - a DIM version would be easy since it wouldn't have to be calibrated - I only need to know when the tensions are equal.. Strum them, Bob. *It'll get you ballpark close, like tuning a bass guitar string. *(no fish jokes, please) I heard that this sort of thing causes whale beachings. (cetacean joke) That only happens when they're precisely 6.8Hz out of tune from each other, Denis. Otherwise, it increases their endolphins, for fully sated cetaceans. Endolphins!?! *I hope that you're not making hormones! I'm making hormone every chance I can. That's in between screams for more, which seals d eel. Aha! Well, that fits with my theories of whale beachings, strumming tension cables, rock musicians and aquatic frenzy. *Someone in your neighborhood is probably tuning his garage door cables or playing his stereo sending subliminal signals and wreaking havoc. *I think that there are better ways of adjusting garage doors without disrupting the neighborhood or nearby aquatic life – using the proper measuring devices and using judicious engineering practices. Oh, puhleeeze, Mr. D. *A properly tuned garage door string, erm, cable is well above VLF freqs and is no more disruptive than a poorly played bass gitfiddle. Besides, GP is over 60 miles from the coast.

Gads! I hope that you don't use your framing hammer for fininhing work. sympathetic vibrations in the earth’s crust and causing the earth to move. * The thought of setting off Mt. St. Helens is equally scary. These sounds can carry for hundreds of miles:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound “Whales, elephants, hippopotamuses, rhinoceros, giraffes, okapi, and alligators are known to use infrasound to communicate over distances— up to hundreds of miles in the case of whales. Oh, please. *Whales travel in pods, not cases. And not in transparent aluminum tanks yet, either. *Scotty told me so. Reminds me that I need to get a transparent case for my Ipod. It has also been suggested that migrating birds use naturally generated infrasound, from sources such as turbulent airflow over mountain ranges, as a navigational aid.[10] Elephants, in particular, produce infrasound waves that travel through solid ground and are sensed by other herds using their feet, although they may be separated by hundreds of kilometres.” If I lived on the West coast, I'd tread lightly. I will. *Elephants are dangerous to work around.http://fwd4.me/P5W "And what do you do for a living, sir?" "Um, er, ah, zookeeper. *Yeah, that's it." I'm looking for a job, but looking there doesn't seem promising. I hope that he's using a flashlight and that he has an arc-proof switch on it. g. -- The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been. * * * * * * * * * * * * *-- Madeleine L'Engle- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |
