IIRC, it was originally called "The diabolical perversity of inanimate objects." That's the effect where if you do a test and drop a slice of buttered bread 100 times, the average number of times the buttered side hits the ground vs. the unbuttered side comes out to 50% - except for the first drop, when the buttered side always falls face down. And it's the effect that causes any small part dropped on the floor to immediately roll into a completely inaccessible spot under your workbench that requires you to remove everything from under the bench in an attempt to find it. As soon as you have pulled everything out from under the bench, you will spot the part on the floor in plain sight behind you. And you will then step on it and crush it as you move to pick it up. And it will be a part that you have no spare for. And neither will the parts house. > There were no cold 807's involved. ...until after the tests are run. <G> 73, Ralph W5JGV - WD2XSH/7 _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List [email protected] http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/
