The number one domestic news headline here since Easter is the first uncovered case in Norway of child abuse by a catholic priest. Which of course neither you or Igor would have known...

Protestants, according to my Catholic mother, are > called proddy dogs. I don't think that's the only meaning/connotation for that expression. E.g. among dancers there is a phrase that a person has two left feet. In some sports (e.g. board riding, and possibly jumping), it refers to the actual thing (as opposed to "goofy" in snowboarding). In any case, the religious connotation was not implied here. Igor PS.

Petite build, to maximise performance? Check. Neck like an 800lb gorilla, so the helmeted head goes where you want rather than force dictates? Check. You had to be racers or fighter pilots.

My buddy and I had just finished a college football remote for the college radio station. We stopped at a 7-11 for refreshments for the long drive back to campus. The young and pretty cashier looked at the state car, then us, and asked if we were Narks. So my buddy answers "No mam, we're Broadcasters." and I add "We're on a mission from God" Then we paid up and left/ Cheers Mike On Apr 7, 2010, at 9:37 PM, drd1...@gmail.com wrote: Early 90's (I think) I went to the North American Chemical Congress in Toronto.

Here is yet another photo, - that of Roger Penrose, mentioned in my previous message (right one, in a blue jacket). In this photo he is actually giving a speach that he inspected our tiling and was not able to find any errors in it (as he frequently find them at other places that have installed such a tiling). http://www.komkon.org/~igor/PHOTOS/Mixed-2010/Penrose_and_Tile_IR_5500.jpg To Bob W.: One of my colleagues in the department took a very special care of the tiling - designing and checking at all stages, as the contractor would have not done the job right (if at all).
