Looks like you squeezed everything in (did you need a shoehorn?). I found I had some extra room to the right of the TV after I'd installed the surge protector for the Aquarium and hooked the lights back up, So now I can see the Aquarium and the TV fully, I just had to find the right angle.

Winning with nose congestion !! Do we really have to tell people to go blow their noses? Isn't that like telling them to come in from the rain? BOINC WIKI |

213, and my profound sympathies to anyone with nasal problems. My allergies should kick in any day now, as it warms up. I find lots of red wine, taken internally, helps a bit. |

212 Now the question is when was the first steam engine invented? A. the 19th Century(1860AD). B. the 18th Century(1712AD). C. the 17th Century(1698AD). D. the 1st Century(62AD). The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

212 That depends on what you mean by invented. Steam locomotives had been in use for many years before 1860, so this one is clearly too late. 1712 is the year that Watt made a commercially viable steam engine that didn't explode all the time. 1698 was the first practical application as a water pump, but this version tended to explode. Circa 60 AD was the first known experimental prototype - but it was apparently never used for anything, nor were any successors until 1698. BOINC WIKI |

212 I see I couldn't stump the Minotaur, Answer was D, Sure It's not really practical the way It was, Of course the answer for who invented the idea may have been Heron of Alexandria, But with the Great Libraries demise, We'll never know for sure. sigh.

212 Hmm. What if the library had not been sacked and we had useful steam power in say 700 rather than 1700. BOINC WIKI |
