| Thanks for the heads up, man. I'll be looking for it.

| Cool!
| I'll have to try that at home, because here I have dial-up. BUMMER!

|True story. We had one of the hand crank generators from an old phone.

|crank!

We had a shop teacher in Jr. High that would wire up the two rivets in
the drafting stool seat of students that slept in class.

You could almost hear the butt cheeks slapping together at maybe 24
Hertz!

It was a sure cure for sleepiness.....

Once in my shop drafting class, I was in the back row of drafting
tables, where there was lots of shop class ventilation, so I took a can
of contact cement and painted the whole drafting table with it. When it
set up, I rolled it into a ball because it came off of the slick
drafting table pretty easy. Didn't know what I was going to do, so I
threw it into the shop area, that thing bounced around like a SUPER
super ball!- Hide quoted text -
