Whatta scam.

here is my fav quote "The System will not prevent rust stains forming
on porous paint because the porous paint is not an adequate dielectric"

Nooooooooo ****. Bwahahahahahahah

You know what Bob....... I have found over the years with a regular
coat of non-porous paint something magical happens and no rust forms..
its frickin Amazing. I think it may be the static electricity powered
magnatism induced from the paint brush. I should patent my magnetic
field inducing brushes. I can paint straighter with my aluminum beenie
on too!

Some scam indeed:

Used heavily in the maritime industry!

You have a wonderfully inventive imagination!

An even bigger problem is GPS navigation near the true poles. To a GPS
unit
all direction is lost at the pole.


Why would this be? I don't see why the location algorithym should become
invalid at these locations.


Ooops!

It's the singularity for inertial navigational platforms, not GPS. The GPS
reference are satellites. The inertial system includes the rotation of the
earth. At the pole, there is no rotation.

I almost burned in hell for that one!

Amen!



Cheers

We'll forgive you this time, don't let it happen again; say two Our

Much as it pains me to do so, I have to agree with you

here. The agonic
line used to run smack dab through my home when I was a

kid. Now it's
about 100 miles east.

When you have to confirm property limits from a survey

completed in
1951... and that survey is based on Magnetic North

bearings...

I'm guessing that by the current magnetic survey, my

property must be in
Ohio by now.

Geological Survey of Canada can provide the exact

location as well as path
of travel of the Magnetic North for any year recorded. I

have been to the
Magnetic North in 1983.


Did you see God? Or Elvis?


He's Canadjun, he saw Wayne Gretzky.


But he ain't dead yet. At least not until his wife's gambling "buddies"
knock him off.

The magnetic field binds the steel, so it is much harder for rust to form.

Use strong magnets!


Indeed. A great docking aid when the pilings are ferrous. Dock lines
become optional.

A sizeable donation to the First Church of the Microwave Poodle would help,
too.

(That would be a California church, Bob.)

We're civilized out here. You're in a fly-over state. :-)

Besides, we're anti-religion.

No, but the Moire patterns flashed.
