That sounds like a compliment, Teppy.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Music helps small planes fly better:

Mr Salmon said engineers had known since the 1940s that blasting a plane's wings with sound helped keep air flowing over the wings. The concept had been demonstrated by placing speakers in a wind tunnel and bombarding model planes with noise.

However, Mr Salmon conceded yesterday, building giant speakers at airports was not only impracticable, it would anger local residents who are already annoyed by aircraft noise.

Instead, he has successfully experimented with covering the upper surface of an aircraft wing with thin film-like panels linked to wires. When the wires are electrified, the panels vibrate 400 times a second, producing an audible buzz.

In wind-tunnel tests at the University of NSW, "singing wings" were able to "fly" at much steeper angles - up to 22 degrees above the horizontal, compared with the normal maximum of about 17 degrees.

In his research, which is part of his aerospace engineer degree at the university, he even pumped music through his wing speakers, looking at how well the hard-rock Australian group Spiderbait made a plane fly, compared with the ethereal British band Radiohead.

"All we can say is that Spiderbait performs better than Radiohead," said Mr Salmon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Teppy, are you feeling better?

I just took a very long nap. I haven't slept well for a few days, so I think I needed it, but now I am very gronky.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I made some very yummy homemade mac&cheese for dinner. also scrubed the shower and organized a bunch of papers that have been cluttering up my desk.

I think my steam is running out though, I think I might change the sheets on the bed and then settle in front of the tv for the rest of the night.

oh, and ita, weren't you asking about bathroom cleaners? the stuff I use on my glass shower door is called Earth Friendly Products Window Kleener with vinegar and it does a great job.
