Noah's tools
I just had a silly thought, after reading a post in ABPW about a gloat:
imagine Noah's first thoughts after deciding to build the Ark! If EVER there was a project that warranted the purchase of MORE TOOLS, that's got to be the granddaddy of 'em all.  Too bad L-V wasn't around back then... Dave |
