My hand felt broken for weeks. Airbags are evil. When my car hit the tree the air bags blew but the seatbelt system had already pulled me back into my seat so hard that I never got into the airbags. I know that because my glasses remained intact and made no imprint on my face. But -ooh - my ribs! -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

Eric Stevens: What I meant that in such a poor society a single individual would not be able to muster the funds to buy a smartphone. Rather in much the same way that in the majority of communities around the world no single individual would be able to muster the funds to buy a Boeing 777. Davoud: What I want to know is this: have you lived in the kind of poor society that you are talking about? Because if you have not, you are speculating. Guessing. "Visited" is not enough. Where did you live? Eric Stevens: What exactly are you driving at? What I said. If you have not lived in the third world for some period of time (for me it was 1966-1993 in SE Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa) your talk of how the poor and the very poor live is based on fantasy. "All my talk" consisted only of saying that there places where the majority of the population cannot individually afford a cellphone. Was I wrong? -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

http://www.canonrumors.com/well-here...r-canon-glass/ -- teleportation kills Hi, I used Kodachrome at ASA 25, with a bright sunlight exposure of 1/50th at F:6.3. My Kodachromes from the 1950s have not faded perceptively,while my Anscochromes and Agfachromes are now mostly naked celluloid.My only photo problem is that scanning my thousands of color slides costs about $1.- each. I guess that everyone knows that Kodachrome was invented by 2 classical musicians. Mort Linder |

I was working on an Escalade because the air bag warning light was on. The car had belonged to a drug dealer, and the bag part of the air bag had been removed to make the passenger side a secret compartment - to make room for the two kilos of coke I found. But they did leave the explosive part intact and wired up (to keep the air bag light from coming on...). That would have made for a very interesting accident scene. The police sent 15 - count-em - drug interdiction detectives for this one vehicle. I guess that's how you reduce the risk of corruption. They formed a circle around the car while others, and a dog, searched. |
