My neighbor is a manager of a metrology lab - too bad I didn't see her today to wish her a Happy World Metrology Day!

I am a bit jaded by experts who get 30 seconds or so to counter a barrage of idiot questions from an anchor. That aside, thanks for the compliment, the ladies can't get enough of my yardstick, although given that length when I become aroused I faint. :biggrin:

No argument there, MSNBC is painful, but she's a lot of fun. Openly biased, but whip smart and for all that she lectures, she also listens. Oberman, Joe... they are some psychotic photo negative of Beck and O'Rielly.
