Did you know that the first trans Atlantic telephone cable is still in use? If you are unlucky enough to get one of the 48 lines, you will get a terrible connection. [edit] If I recall correctly, they come up near Menlo Park [edit 2] #1 and #2 went through Nova Scotia. #3 landed in New Jersey. BOINC WIKI |

Or even "bill" as an alternative name for "beak" Once you've arrived at "beak", "wing" flows on quite naturally (at least in my small brain...). As has been said this thread is an education. I most enjoy it when I can't see the link and have to go off and have a good dig to find the fragment of a quote in the darkest corner of a library that leads me to the light-switch of understanding.

I like to go with the first thing that pops into my mind. "Animals" started me humming: Animal crackers in my soup Lions and tigers loop the loop Anybody know the rest of the words? |

I like to go with the first thing that pops into my mind. "Animals" started me humming: Animal crackers in my soup Monkeys and rabbits loop the loop Gosh oh gee but I have fun Swallowing animals one by one In every bowl of soup I see Lions and Tigers watching me I make 'em jump right through a hoop Those animal crackers in my soup When I get hold of the big bad wolf I just push him under to drown Then I bite him in a million bits And I gobble him right down When their inside me where it's dark I walk around like Noahs Arc I stuff my tummy like a goop With animal crackers in my soup Animal crackers in my soup Do funny things to me They make me think my neighbourhood Is a big menagerie For instance there's our Janitor His name is Mr Klein And when he Hollers at us kids He reminds me of a Lion |

Before you ask the front suspension forks on my bike are a model called Wotan. They are stiffer and have less travel than the originals, which suits me better. I tend not to go over the top of the handle bars so often now. |

Before you ask the front suspension forks on my bike are a model called Wotan. I was thinking more along the lines of forked lightning bolts. Learn something new every day around here... Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |
