Like the clock idea, might try it here, give the rest of the office something to talk about.   Thanks   Jim -----Original Message----- From: Pre-patinated plastic gumby block w/ coin slot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Cuyler Page Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 2:08 PM To: BULLAMANKA-PINHEADS@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU Subject: Re: [BP] Question about waterproofing products Jim, I have a Potato Clock on my desk keeping wonderful time, powered by electricity generated by the potatoes sucking on both ends of the wire that runs into the clock motor.   You can do the same with a lemon.   Works great.   Doesn't work well with stone.   Requires an acid environment.   cp in bc   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Follett To: BULLAMANKA-PINHEADS@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 11:20 AM Subject: Re: [BP] Question about waterproofing products Masons, Shriners, they're all the same to me, if you're sucking on both ends, where is the electricity flowing from? -----Original Message----- From: Pre-patinated plastic gumby block w/ coin slot [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 11:23 PM To: BULLAMANKA-PINHEADS@MAELSTROM.STJOHNS.EDU Subject: Re: [BP] Question about waterproofing products In a message dated 3/17/2005 3:08:00 P.M.
