        Wayuhlll?  I think it makes PBS a little koo-koo, for want of a 
etter
neutral term.
        I soitenly enjoyed the paradox(?) of a peace prize in the name of 
uch
an inventor.  The video was a good one.  I hope they run it again so I can
copy it off for my Doctor.
        Boiled eggs and beer?  (G)  Made me wonder ya did.  Had a problem 
ith
apples along with beer years ago.
        This did happen though.  About 11 years aqo, I was teaching in a 
ocal
college in Engineering & a little cmptr & cad stuff.  I had had one of my 
ave
meals much earlier.  Cucumber salad, cauliflower with a gas producing sauce.
Just before class, I had a big ole cola from a convenience store. (Setting
this thing up ya know. :-)
        Entering the class, I discovered 12 computers had not had a special
program loaded as ordered and it was NOW required.  Well, students had
entered, and I was going like mad, walking back and forth, loading all 12 
rom
the original authorized diskettes, when I suddenly had a need to head for the
potty!   But, the internal pressure was up in my lower tract, upper tract
and hick-ups with a slight chill!
        Ya got it.  Right there in front of eternity, trying my best to
contain, I broke wind, BELCHED, hick-upped  and sneezed aloud almost to make 

diversion.  
        The whole class of 30 went silent as a tomb, one ex-cop turns and
geently said, "Man alive Mr. G!  Now that takes TALENT!"  To which the class
exploded.  So I said, "Good thing you weren't aboard when I was in the SIlent
SErvice!"
        Amazingly, after seeing the man about some pressure relief and 
atures
run-off, the days classes seemed to be the best sessions we ever had.  Even
the dummies opened up a learned something.  Even the county mascots.  :-)
        It does puzzle me though that the authorities get the destructive
knowledge into the hands of the public (kids included.) then gasp and faint
whe one of them gets constructive or applicable!
        It's almost like the two kids on Guam were still finding 
collectable"
war souvenieers from WWII, but they were storing them in one of the kid's
bedrooms.  The tragedy developed when the kids had found a 50# bomb and
brought it home!  No one noticed?  Others found out about it.  The locals
ordered the kids to take the last addition to the collection back out to the
boonies where they could get a look at it!  But, un-beknownst to them, the
thing was still live and active.  The thing went off in the forward charge
killing the kid in front and seriously damaging the other kid.  Put him in
intensive care it did.  The found a pick-up truck load of Japanese munitions
in and around that kids bedroom.  Tipalao NASB took care of the withdrawal of
the munitions.  Shortly after that, they found another WWII Jap Soldier in
hiding.
        BUT!!!  Our precious MEDIA will report in such a way that copy-cats
could destroy others, sometimes innocently.   But then, las year, a guy who
stored fertilizers, lawn care stuff & chemicals in a small wooden bu9ilding 
n
the back of his land, had an unknown problem develop in which one fertilizer
was dropping little bits into another type.  And with a natural chemical
reaction, a quick aggressive fire started leading to an explosion which took
out the building, many many local windows and debris damaged a bunch of other
stuff.
        Now, after McVeigh is up for extermination, they tell me that they
aren't sure the bomb in OKC wasn't a Fert Bomb.  (Not Fart Bomb.)  I just
wonder how many other circumstantial texts are going to be written to find
pounds of flesh for each traumatic eppisode.
        I think we will all agree that our Media is out of control!
Shalom & Maranatha
