Engineering is NOW the #1 threat  it's always been the #1 threat... People

The women glow and the men chunder. If they're both glowing and
chundering, or glowing and then chundering, or chundering and then
glowing, the Aussie must be undergoing a metamorphosis. This third
option gives the glowing chunderer or chundering glower a measure of
peace to know that it is not alone and that it has an integral place
in society. The State, of course, needs to know this -- it's of vital
national importance -- to plan troop deployments and luncheons.
