I've sent one of our work experience kids to the hardware store to get a bag
of welding sparks.
Another was sent to get a "Long Weight".

Isn't a sky hook a real thing, one of those really big cranes used in
skyscraper construction?

"Saddam's goal ... is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while
retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We
cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed." -- Madeline Albright,
1998

"(Saddam) will rebuild his arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and some
day, some way, I am certain he will use that arsenal again, as he has 10
times since 1983" -- National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Feb 18, 1998

"Iraq made commitments after the Gulf War to completely dismantle all
weapons of mass destruction, and unfortunately, Iraq has not lived up to its
agreement." -- Barbara Boxer, November 8, 2002

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are
confident that Saddam Hussein retained some stockpiles of chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to
build up his chemical and biological warfare capability. Intelligence
reports also indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons, but has not yet
achieved nuclear capability." -- Robert Byrd, October 2002

"There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat... Yes, he has chemical
and biological weapons. He's had those for a long time. But the United
States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were
before September 11th of 2001... He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing
nuclear capabilities, though he doesn't have nuclear warheads yet. If he
were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would
face greatly increased risks as would we." -- Wesley Clark on September 26,
2002

"What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with
the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in
the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past
four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has
continued armament programs." -- Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002

"The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat
Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use
them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and
all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow." --
Bill Clinton in 1998

Why do I have the feeling you've had that on your clipboard for months
just waiting for the appropriate time to paste it. Either that or
you've been out riding with Chip and taking a couple of _extra_ long

Some modern performance exhaust systems use a valve to change the
exhaust gas path to a shorter one when you give it some beans, these
flaps rotate on bearings - you could class that as a muffler bearing.

Electronics - box of sine waves for the 'scope. Dear ol' pops got that one,
wandered off, came back with a metal tobacco tin, full of wire he'd bent
into ~ shapes. They gave up with him after he managed to find the tub of
steam they asked him to fetch, too.

Never had anyone try any of that [censored] with me personally, for some strange
reason. Maybe I exude an air of superior intelligence and common sense...
heheheheh...

Shaun aRe - BTW, they *do* make left handed veg. peelers.
