No, but they would if the difference between 1 ATM and 2 ATM were as marked
as the difference between 1 ATM and hard vacuum :-)

Fire extinguishers are much tougher.  While you are correct about the skin,
this isn't the issue.  The real problem lies in the orifaces (mouth, nose, ears
etc) not with the skin.  When in a vacuum, the worst thing you can do is
to close your eyes and hold your breath.  The gasses in your chest will rip
your lungs apart.  Note that it is the -gasses- that cause the problem, not
the liquids, because liquids don't change very much with changes in pressure.

When in a vacuum, the best thing you can do is -EXHALE-.  That's right, breath
out.  That way, you provide a nice neat exit for all that gas in your lungs.
Of course, you might have a problem when your brain starts to run low on
oxygen...

All in all, it would be possable to survive a short exposure to a vacuum
such as that encountered in Earth Orbit - but you would come out of it 
in very bad shape.  And remember, it's also very close to absolute zero
in space (and you thought falling into a frozen lake was bad! :-)

	I have some Batman seri-cels for sale that I bought
while out at the San Diego Comic convention last month.  It 
has the Warner Brothers "Special Edition" seal and shows 
Batman swinging down toward you.  It was made to commemorate 
the series that started a couple of weeks ago.  

	I also have hand painted Japanese animation cels for sale
(with line drawings) from the Guyver and Kabuto productions.  
Great japanese monsters and characters!  These are beautiful 
and inexpensive.  I hand picked all of these cels and managed 
to get a great variety of images.  I have the Guyver video also
for sale (as well as Macross ][, Orguss).  Guyver as you might 
know was made into a live action movie (to be released this month)
 starring Mark Hamill of Star Wars fame.

	When I find deals like these, I buy some for friends 
etc. I guess I bought a couple too many:-) If you're a collector 
of animation cels like myself or collect Batman trivia, send me 
E-mail.  I also buy, sell and trade cels and original art from 
other "Fantasy" animated movies like Heavy Metal, Cool World,

From a reliable source (Lesile), there is a Japanese store opened recently at
Bondi Junction (near the railway station, at Oxford Street). They have Manga,
JPop CDs, and video available, some for sales and some for rental.
Did anyone check it out ?

Screw you, Carl.  Metzger has nothing to do with Fullerton.

The ROBOTECH Movie started a five or six week series, last fall at the
AMC Fullerton, of assorted anime theatrical releases.  I believe the
week after was Akira, and then Robot Carnival.  Don't remember what
the other two (three) weeks were, but oddly, Laputa was not shown.

I particularily enjoyed all the segments of Video Girl Ai.  I plan on owning
all of them when they get out on LD.  (Which is saying a lot, I haven't spent
a penny on anime in months.)  (No, I won't pay Mikado prices.)

Video Girl Ai was rad because it did not follow the convention of boy-finds-
girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl.  (Moemi, that is.)  In VGAi, once
boy-lost-girl, boy tried to get over it, then realized that boy-likes-
different-girl.  (OK, then he did lose girl and get her back.)

I simply like the idea of the original love interest having a crush on
someone else, and never "coming to her senses" and falling in love with the
protagonist.  It was somewhat fresh.

Reply|to: coram@ecn.purdue.edu (Chaosmage)

Well, a couple of weeks ago I asked about people's bandwidth problems.
I didn't get very many responses, so maybe the problem isn't as bad as
I had thought.  Well, I wracked my brain anyway and came up with a few
solutions to help out anyway.

1:  Follow the guidelines in the FAQ.  Esp: check to see if someone else
has already answered a question before you do.

2:  When you change subject, change the SUBJECT line.  One complaint that
I did get was not being willing to kill all of a subject because sometimes
interesting articles are burried inside an otherwise boring subject.
Of course, this results in having to skim a lot of articles that one would
rather not read.

3:  Keep the flame wars off the net!  No offense, but most of the time,
the rest of us don't care to read insults.

4:  Check the Distribution line, if you can.  I get a significant number of
articles asking regional type questions, or announcing things that are
purely regional.  Like Club announcements and Are there any sources of anime 
in <city> questions.  I don't care what the schedule for a club in Ca.
(no offense intended, but it comes to mind) is because there is no way
for me to get there.  And *I* don't know where to shop for anime in,
say Florida.  I'm in Indiana!  Maybe if we tried to keep such articles
inside the state/region in question we will see fewer articles that we
don't care about.

I like the idea about prefixing subject lines with identifiers indicating
what they are about (like [Fanfiction] for fan fiction).  Things like that
will make it easier for people to make kill files without risking killing
an article they ARE interested in.

Along the lines of #2, try to keep seperate questions/subjects under different
subject lines.  Even if this means spliting articles.  I realize that this
will increase the NUMBER of articles, but it should again allow people to
kill subjects without worrying that the will miss something.  I doubt that
the total bandwidth will increase much.

Before you post (and I know *I'm* really guilty about this), think!  There
ARE people who have to PAY to access r.a.a.  The more articles there
are, the more they end up paying.  Sure, it might not affect you, but
it affects someone.  Be considerate.

wondering why the final episode was in black and white. Did they run out

If Kasumi were 'normal' and 'with it' you'd think she'd grab one of the
more-than-skilled kempo artist once in a while and say "What are you doing?!
What is this mess?! Why?!" (It seems a lot of the time the choas is the fault

Wrong.  Miyu's mother says she gave her husband eternal life, and
a couple of times we see him drinking blood, so that's one.  Larva
