The chainsaw spoof!! Reaction?

Question

Very strange,48 hours ago, I posted the USB chainsaw item.It starts a thread that covers every thing from horsepower formula to 75A USB ports.It also generates the usual amounts of comedy, no abuse, (very unusual for any thread today), and some new theories in electronics and mathematics.24 hours later, I deliver the tag line, the spoof, the kicker:I wait another 24 hours for the reaction.Guess what?No reaction.I guess I place the "Hello?" Icon here.:-)Have a good weekend, or like me, are you trying to give them up?Cheers Don...-- Don McKenzieSite Map:             Contact Page:  Camera Page:      More Damn Spam:   Breakout, Prototype, Development, & Robotics Boards.

No problem!  If you want a chainsaw sound effect, there is a programnamed chainsaw that cuts files into a user selected size.  That programmakes a nice sound effect and is small.
