BL> It's no wonder they did so well in the Korean war!

 BL> I was thinking of the North Koreans, the way they bulldozed our

 BG> Dunno, Adolf's mob didn't do too well at Stalingrad in WWII,

  The Russians came from further north, obviously :-)

 BL> I worked for a lunatic who believed that creative engineers

 BG> He was actually on the right track, although 16øC is a tad

  He was always going on about it. I've never really noticed it
myself. I seem to have my best ideas around Christmas.

 BL> It worked for us anyway; we reamed out the knob and glued it on
 BL> so 16C was actually 22C.

 BG> ROFL! We used to do that at Chandlers too, and it must have

  ROFL!! They keep recalibrating the knob and then you move it around
