WD-40 story: I used to work in the athletic dept. of a major university and had several coach/administrator friends who were former high powered athletes. One who was an ex-NFL player for St. Louis told me that many of his teammates used WD-40 as a rub in salve on their injuries and joints. He siad their Mon AM meetings and walk-through huddles always had a strong garlic smell (possible indication of DMSO absorption). I also had the swim coach relay similiar uses and experiences.
What's this got to do with CS?
