If 250,000 miles isn't accurate enough for you, then you must fault

Hiding behind Len now, are we....?

Never thought I'd see the day!

Quite natural, that..... *

Well, it's cheaper than going to those fake Hollywood horror

That was quite odd.

* I thought it quite SOP (Standard Operating Practice) of him.

It seems to be......it's odd, though.

* True, but you have to realize where you are and what he is.

And where he is......still hiding (behind you? - hey, move over and
let's see! *hee hee!) , unable to face reality.

Well, he lost his cool yesterday and gave K4YZ a slap on
the wrist with a wet noodle. He do dat 'bout twice a year
(perhaps to show off his "manliness"?).


There are quite a few lines in the preceeding posts that he has chosen
not to comment on......no rebuttal, no contest. *Guess he figured that
no one would notice!

I'll be happy to point them out again when he returns with another
load of chaff..... *

No matter to me. Hey, the guy has a "judge roy bean" complex
and wants to be "all the law east of the Pecos." Let him.

* Mental picture of Cranky Spanky trying to "correct" the

He once claimed that Industry Canada was wrong......look out, JPL!

* I'll pass the warning on to them. *JPL is just a whoop and
* a holler from my place...been there...:-)

Do they have a wind tunnel? *They could null him out with a bit of
Newton's Third....

They 'borrow' one from another NASA agency. That was the
one they rigged to test the Mars Rover's "bouncing balloon"
deployment system. That was shown on a recent TV cable
documentary.

While JPL started out with JATO bottle design in WW2,
they drifted off into unmanned spacecraft by the 1960s
and stayed in that field of work, divorced organizationally
from California Institute of Technology (their origin) and
established somewhat close to Pasadena's Rose Bowl.
Note: "Somewhat" is an Angeleno term and "somewhat
close" could be several miles to us down here. :-)

Too approximate. *You're either precise or approximate - you can't
have it both ways!

* He wants to have his cake and eat anyone who says he can't!

Heh.....that's fer sure! *More bark than bite, though......

* "The squeaky wheel gets de grease" as the old saying goes.
* He gottum two degrease, collitch degrease. *From a

Without his help, fortunately.... *

Yes! :-) But Eckert and Mauchly DID crib ideas from
Atanasof at Iowa State...as was proven in the federal
copyright trial held in the US much after ENIAC had
been sold off.

Stopped watch theory. *See above.

* Cranky ought to apply for a job at NIST. *He's got an Allan

now THAT'S funny! *Best one yet!

* Watch. *Cranky will search for "Allan Variance," then start
* lecturing about it...("he knew it all along")

Maybe not....he's got enough balls in the air already, figuratively
speaking....

...or maybe literally speaking! :-)

True...but if he fell in, would he be a clock soaker?

* Heeeeee! *Five Stars for that one! *Superb. *:-)

Thanks!

You're welcome. A nice variant on the stock packer at a
hosiery maker: A sock tucker.

Ba-dum-bump!
