Sorry, Moe. I'm sure that the tearing was due to my out-of-key singing. (Rob didn't clue me in to the two key changes he planned.) Laugh

for some reason, my knowledge is limited to about 30 seconds of info. Wonder why that is....

How about a "big hand" for Amy, for starting this thread. Wink

I can give you 30-second-long introductions to most of the major moons in the solar system, in addition to several dozen asteroids, and a dozen or so spacecraft. And, if that wasn't enough, and you want more excitement in your life, how about four minutes on gamma-ray bursts?

I'm a bit of drip, myself. I'm learning how to deal with incontinence.

Drew,

I just finished 65 pages on the same subject! Must be going around or something.

Bob, I guess that is better than reading the same page 65 times.

Want to learn how to fly a Cessna Skyhawk or create a map in ArcGIS? If you are taking the Real Estate Exam in - uh can't remember which state - come to think of it, I have now forgotten what makes a good FLIP property. It really does go in the eyeballs, out the mouth and then the whole thing gets flushed...

I've had sessions that have felt that way, though. Rolls Eyes

I've been telling doctors what to do for years...how to cut open ankles, wrists, elbows, shoulders and all, drill holes in the bones and screw down metal straps to hold everything in place. I can tell you how to file a flight plan with the FAA, and if you're a new manager at PetSmart you're gonna have to listen to me for a while before you get started. If you're a realtor for ERA I'll tell you how to use their personal contact database, and I can tell you how to successfully sell and book vacations at Disney resorts with a smile!

And I haven't stayed at a Holiday Inn for years now.

But Bruce, are you using your hands safely? Or, judging by your avatar, perhaps I should be asking about your arms.

If anyone needs to know how to do a Pre-Job Safety Inspection before offloading 24-inch pipe from a delivery truck, I'm your man.

I can tell you the "do's and DON'T'S" while being in a sewer treatment plant. Trust me, it isn't pretty.

Forklift safety...yeah, I can help ya' there too. Smile

Hey! We should team up. I can give all the details on safe operation of a strip mine - in Australia.

(Also, ceramic thermal roof paint application; migrant farmworker Rights; care and feeding of your anti-cellulite massager...)

I've done all kinds of stuff for the electrical industry. Once, I did a very descriptive...and pretty gruesome...series of modules on the dangers of arc-flash events. I could tell you at what temperature:

1. Flesh Burns.
2. Flesh Ignites.
3. Flesh Melts.

Need I go on?

Needless to say, there were a few breaks taken along the way so I could regain my composure (consciousness?)

As an added bonus, each module (I believe there were five or six) began with a different take on the same story: an electrician, on an ungrounded aluminum ladder, was thrown 20 feet when a live wire attached to the circuit he was working on ("whoops, I think I threw the wrong breaker") touched the top of a metal dividing wall he was leaning against. Yeah. He was DOA.

I kept hoping for a different end to the story with each module, but they kept on killing the poor guy.

I affectionately think of that series as "Electricians: SCARED STRAIGHT!"
