Which begs the question - how did you find it?

And thanks for the B12/D advice, I am still working on my brother to try it.

If you would have opened it few hours back, you would have probably found that there was a spam attack in the forum. Big Grin | :-D

By the way, it was reported early today. Here[^]

There are a number of these appearing randomly on various forums, but the link to the poster does not exist. It would appear someone has managed to find a way of posting messages without being a registered user. No doubt the sound of hamster teeth gnashing can be heard around Toronto.

It's time for a new signature.

Time to wheel out the 'Special Weapons Hamster'.

Not as messy as when they mistakenly wheeled out the Hamster's Special Weapon.

I'll be a tad busy in June, new house should be completed so I'll be moving out of this apartment (yippie!) and the missus will be 7 months pregnant. Should be freer come autumn, great time to visit the vineyards. Play Texas Hold 'em btw?

Excellent! I didn't know Missouri had vineyards? I'll be sure to sample as many as I can Wink | ;)

A giant offshore crane salvages the front portion of the sunken South Korean naval ship Cheonan off Baengnyeong Island, South Korea. [^]

I wonder what the whole crane looks like.

(And yes, I realize the topic is politcally charged, I'm just pointing out the picture.)

Found a picture of the crane! (Oddly enough I had to use Bing as I couldn't find it with Google).

The crane is huge: http://www.euronews.net/wires/reuters/images/2010-04-16T041636Z_01_BTRE63F0BW100_RTROPTP_3_OUKWD-UK-KOREA-SHIP.JPG[^]

Now this statement is more "politically charged" than the main thread itself.

And when you think that (with the exception of the engines) the basic design is 2500 year old (cf "Trispastos" and "Pentaspastos") it makes you feel a little humble, really! It does me, anyway. Big Grin | :-D

In all fairness the laws of physics haven't changed in 2500 years.

Our understanding of them, the materials we have to use and our ability to harness energy have, however, advanced in leaps and bounds.

I must say though most people I find significantly underestimate the abilities of our forebears, we can do big and fast but they could do the same with the brute force of thousands, wood, rope and a clever mind.
