Being stuck in traffic on the way home has its benefits. There's no typo in the above. I saw that on a bumper sticker, concentrated on it, wondered why the hell someone would have the alphabet on a bumper sticker, read it several times, then finally ...
Almost got in a wreck from laughing.
I like subtle.

1. That could cause an accident. |
|
Definitely subtle. Hard to notice what's missing at first. Without singing or humming, that is.

... in Texas where people still proudly sport their Dubya stickers.
I had to stare at it awhile. Like I said, I was stuck in traffic.
The other sticker on the car was an anti-war slogan, which made me want to know what the hell that meant.

I only had to read it once to realize the letter was missing, but it took me a second to figure out the meaning.

11. Bumper sticker was a bit different ... |
|
Just had all the letters in two lines.
Wasn't until I sang it to myself that I figured out something was missing, and then as I mentioned in my other note, there was an anti-war sticker on the car too.

14. Yea, for some reason when I see the alphabet, I automatically sing it |
|
(Yep, I'm weird like that) so it stood out. I too like subtle though. . .

18. I was just cruising thru my new college library... |
|
and found a great article on "superstition in Estonia"..they went through the original beliefs and pointed out when communism pretty much eradicated (or we could say, did not tolerate) any semblance of a folk-loric belief. Cannot remember off-hand the name of the article...will try to find it later...
I also owe you some power-plant data. Tried to send it on my new laptop, but apparently the email just festered in my inbox on that terrible windows outlook? let me know if you need some info, or pics of the plant.
boilerbabe@hotmail.com is your best bet. To heck with outlook!
