What a total muff - link's gone into the ether. Tip: Don't put any of your pint-sized players in when they're both fatigued and distracted. High correlation with muffs - from personal experience. Horse sheath? Naw, I'm a little further to the rear. lurqer

Better post this while I can remember to include the link. Mars Is Ready for Its Close-Up latimes.com As a teenager, the Griffith Observatory was a second home. The amateur telescope makers (then on a lower floor) were a particularly interesting group. Their mindset is akin to that of machinist pattern makers. Precise doesn't come close to their way of thinking. Remember one guy who had spent the last 17 years "slightly improving" his mirror. When I asked him if he had ever used it astronomically, the response was briefly - once. lurqer
