As an experiment, would you consider a nice bright and prominent Bush/Cheney 2004 sticker? Ill send you one. Be sure to put it on something that you don't mind having keyed. I would stick it right to my toilet! I have some underwater 3M 5200 glue, having a sticker like this would make peeing and ****ting a little more fun. i Now thats not adhering to the basic experiment. You simply must put the thing on your vehicle to validate your claim. Gunner It's not unwise to remember that Mother Nature is essentially a murderous, sneakly, promiscuous bitch who has been trying to kill you since your conception. Eventually she will succeed, perhaps with the help of your fellow man. Life consists in putting off the inevitable as long as possible and taking what good and joy you can before her success. Whether you attribute that situation to evolutionary forces, a fallen nature after Adam and Eve screwed the pooch, or whatever, it's no less true. Be friendly, pleasant, unaggressive, and honest toward all and be prepared to ignore, avoid, or even kill anyone who is otherwise toward you. Being ready doesn't mean eager, just ready. What true friends are found in life will undestand and accept that fundamental rule of human interaction." John Husvar |

I missed the staff meeting but the minutes show Gerald Miller
wrote back on Sat, 01 Jan 2005 20:46:14 -0500 in rec.crafts.metalworking : Assignment: What frequency would have the desired effect and how do I build it. I can hear the little pimple faced prick now talking to his buddies, "Man, I just cranked it up and it blew the window out!" The frequency would be one pulse per window. You could generate it with ethylene oxide or acetylene and oxygen and a spark plug. I'm told that an automatic centre punch provides a suitable pulse Some years ago,was swapping stories with a volunteer fire fighter. First day of training, The Wise Old Fire Chief walks up to the demo car, and pokes the window with his glove clad finger. The window shatters. The trainees all start the "We are not worthy!" mantra. Then the Wise Old Fire Chief reveals the trick: automatic center punch inside the glove, poking out of a hole in the finger. I'm told some fire departments and EMTs carry these for getting into cars at crash sites, less hazard of flying glass than the old "fire ax to the window" trick. tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich. as an explaination for the decline in the US's tech edge, James Niccol wrote "It used to be that the USA was pretty good at producing stuff teenaged boys could lose a finger or two playing with." |

Physical "discomfort" is a useful teaching reinforcement aid. And works wonders on improving memory, too. Years ago, I was witness to preliminary investigation being conducted in regards to a theft from tourists (us). My Arabic is non-existent, but even I could tell that the Colonel was not pleased with the answers, and that swagger stick served to jog memories: "It wasn't me, it was him, him I swear, yes it was, I'm telling the truth and please don't hit my shins again." Okay, so I added body language to what he was saying ... . As was demonstrated to me repeatedly by Sister Mary Cathrine at Our Lady of Perpetual Motion Elementary School.

I'm told some fire departments and EMTs carry these for getting into cars at crash sites, less hazard of flying glass than the old "fire ax to the window" trick. Yup, standard equipment these days. It takes a _lot_ of force to do this with a fire axe, but with the center punch it's effortless. Duct tape in an X across the window, and around the edges, sometimes keeps it intact enough to pull away without filling the car with glass crumbs. Dave Hinz |
