this mailing list?  I have one source but they want $930 for the list
and this only allows us to use the list for one year.  I don't think
the faculty member who I am trying to help is going to want to spend

Hi..I posted this request for information about 2 years ago, but had
no luck then, so I figured that I would try again!

About 4 years ago I found the most amazing table in Niagara Falls,
Ontario [Canada].

It was coffee table height, but it was huge by coffee table standards.

The top was, apparently, one solid piece of wood, about 8 or so inches
thick.  Carved down into the surface of the top was a relief of all of
the animals in the Chinese zodiac.  Because of the carved nature of
the surface, there was a piece of glass laid across the top to afford
a flat surface.

It was an amazing piece of furniture, and I vowed that some day I
would own one, but now I can't find one anywhere!

I live in the Bay area, but would appreciate leads anywhere in the
country.

Thank you.

He didn't say that the vote was open to people outside the US, just to
non-US citizens. Believe it or not, not everyone currently in the US is a US
citizen. We DO allow people from other countries to visit, go to school, in
some cases even work in our country without being a U.S. citizen. I realize
that may be a subtle distinction for someone who speaks English with an
accent, but that could well be the case.

I doubt that. Time zones is a fairly new invention. Back in the early 1800s
there was no such thing as integral time zones. For example, Boston
could be 20 minutes (or whatever) east of New York City.

There was an article about this in Scientific American some years ago,
but I don't remember the exact year.

Hi out there!
I wasn't sure where to post this question, so I'm trying here!

1) What kind of surface blast (assuming a direct hit with eg. a missile) would
be required to destroy an underground bunker? I mean an actual military
bunker, not a shelter. I need to know the minimum to put it out of commision,
not necessarily kill everyone inside.

2) Same question, but for a large building complex (about 4 or 5 city blocks
of large buildings).

3) Exactly what energy (in Joules) corresponds to a ton of TNT (since
explosive forces always seem to be given in terms of pounds, tons and megatons
of TNT). While I'm at it - how many pounds are there in a ton of TNT (quite a
lot I should imagine, but are we talking metric tons and pounds or silly
imperial units?)?

Don't worry, I'm not planning to actually blow someone up! I just need to find
out for a friend who's writing a book.

Thanks for any information,
    -Conrad.

So ... there is this seventy year old woman who is getting married for
the fourth time.  After the wedding ceremony, she and her new husband
check into a hotel together and when they are in their room she says,

"I want you to know that I am a virgin."

(Husband) "A virgin! But you are seventy years old and you have been
          married three times before! How could you be a virgin?"

"Well, what happened was, my first husband had a horrible accident as a
young man before I met him. He was unable to have sex, but I loved him
just the same and we lived together many years even though we couldn't
do anything sexual.

"My second husband was (here she sort of blushes) ... well, you know,
he was one of those guys who doesn't like women very much. For him, it
was a thing where he had to be married for appearance's sake, to get
ahead in his work. But that was okay, I knew he was *that way* and he
was always honest and took care of me very well even though we never
had sex together.

"Then there was my third husband. He was a Democrat, and in all the
years we were married all he ever did was sit on the side of the bed
and tell me how great it was going to be."

Before settling on the X-10 stuff, you might want to look at the control
