Why do we scrub the heavy thing back and forth when it has fast revolving
brushes? Surely a single slow pass is just as effective. |

Not really as the brushes agitate some of the grit etc out of the pile and going over it forwards and backwards brings more out. Why not apply the same logic to painting, just run the brush in one direction only and see if that does the trick. |

Not convinced its like, its more habit and not thinking about why they do it. Like flapping Polaroid photos while they develop. |

I don't know I guess its habit. Many machines do not have fast revolving
brushes. I often have thoughts about muck. where does it all come from? Not all of it can be shed skin, so one must assume its come from outside and maybe even outer space.

To get good Polaroid you need a steady even temp that is why they invented
the cold clip that you put them into and put them under your armpit. Brian -- ----- - This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff... Blind user, so no pictures please!

You scrub it back and forwards over the same bit of carpet?

Various places. Some of it comes off what we have. Some of it comes in on our feet etc. Some of its comes from the pets. Some if it drifts in. Not all of it can be shed skin, Duh. so one must assume its come from outside Duh. and maybe even outer space. Nope. No aliens do either. "DerbyBorn" wrote in message 2.236...

The verb is a bit clumsy. Nothing sux like electrolux. Morphed into Hoover when I married and remains so despite us using a Meile and a Dyson. Miele. Miele. Miele. Miele..... ....Miele -- If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
