Actually, I have heard plenty stories about pianos strung here in the hot and humid Souweth, in the summer, which develop loose poins when the furnace is turned on. I'm merely tryiong to cancel the effect. Thump Try this: Drill hole in block of wood, diameter of finger (use mic). Now, insert finger full length, find easy chair, dip block in bucket of H2O, watch "Titanic". When film is completed, try to remove finger. Answer question: Does finger get stuck because hole gets A) Larger with water added to wood? B)Smaller with water added to wood? Stick hand in oven---(low heat!) Watch "Titanic" again. Does finger come out? Why? Next Question: Chaise longue is to aardvark, as rubber band is to: A)"Astroturph" (TM) B)Cold cream C)Rhinocerous --- Richard Brekne <Richard.Brekne@grieg.uib.no> wrote: > > > gordon stelter wrote: > > > Nope.
