     April 1, 1993   New York Times

     Today, the FDA released a report revealing that the drinking 
water in Orlando, Florida causes cancer in laboratory animals.
Walt Disney World Resort has been closed indefinitely after being
overwhelmed by cancellations of reservations.

     How to make gun-powder using Orlando, Florida water and 
two other chemicals available at your local drug store.


     ************************************************************

     Seriously though, does anyone else find the water in Orlando
to be as foul as I did when I was there in 1991?  The sulfur smell 
and taste are overpowering.  I have travelled to all corners of the
the U.S., and the Orlando water wins the contest for most foul for a large
metropolitan area.  Only untreated well water that I have had in some
rural areas even comes close.  
     I awoke one morning after drinking probably waaaaay too much 
the night before.  I didn't feel too bad until I turned on the shower
and caught a heavy duty whiff of sulfur.  Whoa!
     I'm a pretty serious water drinker, so this is a major bummer!

     Am I just a crab?  Or are others bothered by this as well?

Hi, folks!

I'm interested in purchasing old Disneyland records and 45's.  I've got a 
pretty decent collection so far, and my prized addition to my collection 
is a sealed "Moments with Mr. Lincoln".  It would be nice to hear from 
others who have the same interest or who just want to get rid of their 
albums.  Maybe someone has a complete listing of albums and 45's with 
catalog numbers?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't know about that, but when I saw the character Jafar walking around
the Park this Xmas, I've never been so scared of a character in my life!!
He's especially evil with those long fingers.....great costume, I must say.
And my friends and I discoved that Yes, the Genie character

I thought Newsies was a wonderful movie.  My 10 and 12 year-old
sons both liked it toooo!  The younger son bought the CD and
wanted to take dancing lessons so he could dance just like
the guys in Newsies!  He even wanted to dress as a Newsie
for Halloween.  The point is that it wasn't just an adult
movie.  Course I don't consider myself an adult anyway!
Too bad Newsies didn't do better cause I sure liked it!

More biology!  Whoopie!(?)  Beast was a magical creature--maybe when
the narrator said that he may "remain a beast for ALL TIME" he really
meant ALL TIME.  Eternal torment, that is. (Disney probably didn't
think as much about it).  Chip isn't even a 10 year-old boy--he
couldn't have been cursed for 10 years as "Be Our Guest" indicates.

I see the point in the dog example, but it is not so simple.  After a
dog's first year, is it the canine equivalent of a 7 year-old human?
I doubt it.  And dogs seem to be living a lot longer nowadays.  If a
dog's average lifespan is 15 years (all of mine have lived longer than
that) and a human's is about 75, then the ratio is about 5:1.  By my
personal experience, it is closer to 4:1.

BTW, a human ages about 1.5-2 years for every "tortoise year." :-)
(I know you said "Most animals")

Many TV series and a few movies I've seen have one or more persons
credited specifically for "continuity."  Even so, you could sometimes
sit around all day picking out inconsistencies.

Denmark is a very flat country, aren't there mountains in the background
in "Eric's kingdom".  Maybe Norway would be more suitable.

(Before any Danes get on my case, yes I know Denmark has "mountains".
I've climbed the second highest mountain in Denmark.  It was very

Highly doubtful.  While Eric's "kingdom" is possibly set in some part of
the universe (it's very small, presumably), the variety of species
living underneath the surface of the water is just too great.  These
species are all mentioned in "Under the Sea":
sturgeon, ray, newt, carp, plaice, bass, chub, fluke, lings, trout,
blackfish, smelt, sprat, blowfish, sardine, clam, slug, snail.

Now, while some of those are far too general to be used to whittle down
the possibilities, some of these are certainly saltwater and others most
likely freshwater.  Add to that all the other recognisable creatures
seen, including tortoises and (of course) crabs, and I think there is nowhere
in the world, particularly within swimming distance of land, that fits
the bill.

We need a TLM "Technical Reference Manual" like the Star Trek people
have got . . . :)

When Belle got to Maurice, there was no blizzard.  This might
indicate that the castle is very far from where Maurice was
(couldn't have been THAT far).  This is inconsistent...unless
Maurice forgot where the castle was and accidentally landed in a
far off area that Belle happened to recognize.  Yeah, that's it! ;-)

Wait, this doesn't sound right.  Let me rethink the problem....

I think that the fundamental inconsistency here is the location of
the castle.  Maurice traveled all day by wagon to get near the
castle.  Philippe (his horse) took all night to come for Belle.
Belle then took all day to come to the castle.  Poor Philippe--he
must've been exhausted!  Anyway, at the same time, we're all led to
believe that the castle is very close to the village by the apparently
small amount of time the mob took to reach the castle.  I conclude
(for now) that the castle is very far away and that either 1) the mob
took longer to get there than was shown or 2) Disney simply forgot (or
tried to forget) how far the castle is from the village.  For the first
alternative, time compression may have been used just like for
Philippe's journeys.  But here's the problem: we listen to one moderate-
length song during the mob's entire journey.  I think Disney should have
split it up, or done something to indicate a great distance; if they
were aware of the problem, that is.

But who really notices (or cares) except for us? :-)  Maybe this is
what Disney thinks--that few would concern themselves so much with
the details; pure speculation, of course.

I saw it too with my 5 yo daughter who didn't understand one thing about
