Is there any other way?

You messed up by posting to googlegroups, without quoting any context at all, i.e., nobody knows what you're talking about.

Ask your teacher how to cut and paste or ask the staff to hook you up with a real news server.

Good Luck! Rich

(A) Huh? (B) So, how many stadia are that?

Thanks, Rich

Not only are the attributions messed up, but so is the history.

The original French Revolution meter was intended to be one ten-millionth of the distance at sea level from the Equator to the North Pole. A multi-year survey was undertaken in the 1790's to determine the distance between Dunkirk and Barcelona, whicch are on the same meridian and convenient to French surveyors. Calculations to reduce the measurements to sea level followed, and a standard metal bar was constructed which has two scratches exactly one meter apart when observed at 0°C. The resulting measure is off about 1/5 millimeter from modern satellite-based measurements.

I wrote about one 40 millionth of a Great Circle and you wrote about one

I read in sci.electronics.design that "Rich, Under the Affluence" wrote (in ) about 'Is there any other way?', on Tue, 4 Oct 2005:

They tried, but the dependence on temperature couldn't be modelled by any known mathematical function.

However, Organ's Law says that the angle of dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat.

(Too much to expect that Graham Organ, the author 50 years ago, will read this.)

No, but AFAIK the USA penis is ~600 European millipenis (and approx. 450 African millipenis)

...but we drive smaller cars :-)

Hmm. The way I heard it, it's divided by the mass of the ass times the square of the hair.

At the U. of MN, I saw a graffito that claimed that the angle of the dangle was some sort of exponential function, but that might have been a fluke. It was, after all, in one of the engineering buildings ("IT Row", according to the accounting majors) ;-P

Yes, I attended MIT - the Minnesota Institute of Technology. ;-D

Thanks! Rich

There was some kid, whose dad asked him what he wants for his birthday. "I want a bicycle!" "Does your dick reach your ass?" "Uh, no." "OK, no bicycle. Sorry."

This goes on for a number of years: "What do you want for your birthday?" "I want a ." "Does your dick reach your ass?" "No." "Sorry, no ."

So, this kid works on lengthening his penis, and a few years later, he's achieved it! He can touch his own ass with his own dick! So the following birthday (It's been a few years), his dad asks, "what do you want for your birthday?" "I want a car!" "Does your dick reach your ass?" "YES!" He announces proudly. "Good. Go f*ck yourself."

Sorry. Rich

If my penis was perched on my foot out in the yard, would I get the rod?

Uh, yeah, John. I guess I forgot to put the tag. ;-)

Boy! Talking about measuring Earth, when I was in the USAF, (approx.

But, this guy also claimed that they had put a whole missile all of the way into orbit - just the one stage - but as it happened, he was my supervisor (outranked me by two or three stripes) so I didn't really press him about that - just went "Wow", goggled at him, and let him biy me another beer.

Hey, speaking of SSTO, what ever happened to the Delta-X?

And why aren't there Dumbo or Nerva rockets? Is it just the anti-atomic hysteria? Hell, the year two thousand happened five years ago, going on six - where the hell are the flying cars? They promised us flying cars! Who dropped that ball?

And, of course, happy Y MMV. (Thank you, whoever it was that came up with that - I'm almost sure it was either John or Spehro - in any case, it's damn clever!)

Thanks, Rich

Along the meridian through Paris. Others may not be the same length, or so the revolutionaries thought. 'La République n'a pas besoin de savants.' after all.

No, the name is quite genuine. Another case of nominative determinism for 'New Scientist'.

Wasn't it his brother Willie?

I don't know, but probably a lot less than a 1 MW laser.

Even if half the light is thrown away, it's still tice as powerful as the current laser.
