Jo S, If you do a web search on the subject you will find a few interesting things. This subject is a lot like 'wound balistics' amazing and repulsive at the same time. One is an article about Florida's chair and why it mis fired a few times. That ended up causing florida to switch to LE... -

APO shipping questions
For what it's worth, Pack it real well. My base was in the 'sticks' about two hours S of Baghdad. Our mail came in a conex container on the back of a Hemmet Truck. To unload the container, it was tipped 45 degrees from flat, so all the mail holders would slide and bang into the doors of the... -

any american hot rod fans here?
Hi all, I catch that show and others as well. No doubt many of the time constraints are bogus, so let's pretend they don't exist. Much of the gunk music annoy's the daylights out of me. Leting me know it's Monster Garage 30 times in 40 seconds is not going to help my mood. At that level one... -

Whats your occupation?
Sakugenken, Many thanks for posting those photos. You want a laugh, most of the 82AB thought I looked like a famous actor in adult films. For a few weeks they kept calling me 'Ron'. When someone clued me in on the joke, it was rather funney. Thanks for the post. Keep it safe -

What are your favourite songs?
Hi all, Some of my favorites Be Bop Deluxe, most anything they have done. I like the "Live in the Air Age" album as one of the best live albums ever recorded. The Tubes, they do some fun stuff. What do you want from life? Devo, if there ever was a band for techies, they are it. Renasance... -

Whats your occupation?
M, To answer your question.... You wanted a strange work story; the big question is which one? One thing I have found from working in a war zone, people are fascinated with explosions. Things that go bang in industry are somewhat interesting as well. Many years ago I was working at a defense... -
