| #26 Just remember, darling, you're thinking of the image in Rantburg, the Movie Actually, I was thinking of Cyd Charisse, but Audrey Hepburn ain't a problem, either. |

| #25 I think I'll pull a Robert A. Heinlein, mrp, and donate the idea to the common weal. It can even replace the waterbed, after all. (Just remember, darling, you're thinking of the image in Rantburg, the Movie. She's a lot taller, for one thing. ;-> ) |

| #24 I can handle that one: you just make a lens that focusses the antigravity waves so that they offset the gravity waves at a single point, and voila! Whoa... Rantburg's very own Hedy Lamarr - and better lookin' too. |

| #23 tomorrow's discussion: antigravity and it's importance in suspended disbelief I'm sure that'll be uplifting. |

| #22 Well shoot, Frank G, I can handle that one: you just make a lens that focusses the antigravity waves so that they offset the gravity waves at a single point, and voila! |

| #18 Here .com, let me take a look at that. Apparently I know what I'm doing. |

| #17 Touche, Robin. Maybe I can get a copy of "Boggles for Dummies." |

| #16 Just so long as we don't get into liability lawsuit discussions, Matt. ;-) |

| #15 I really hate these technical engineering discussions. |

| #13 Oh, and the springs are okay but don't let the big one get caught on things. Bogles ... can be a bother, true nuff. |

| #11 .com, Sea -- don't worry about the loose wires. Just be careful not to mix up the red and green ones when you hook it up. |

| #10 Are these Finns related to the ones who fought the Soviets to a standoff in WW II? Also, it can't be a 'peace keeping' force unless there is peace to keep in the first place - and when was the last time Afghanistan had real peace? |

| #9 Do not, under any circumstances, open it up and let the blue smoke out! |

| #8 Lol. It's the stray loose wires that really concern me... |

| #7 These springs aren't supposed to be sticking out like that, are they? |

| #6 nah, this is the hardware version. ;-) |

| #5 I thought Boggle had been bought by Google |

| #4 Take it to a competant local mechanic. Done in an hour, if s/he is any good. |

| #3 Is that Boggle 2.0? I've heard about it, but it seems so pricey, lol, and installations are always problematic... |

| #2 Get the heavy duty upgrade, .com. It's worth the extra cost. Mine has gone for 2 months in an election year and is working fine since I had the upgrade done. Unfortunately!! LOL |

| #1 Gawd - there must be a special mindset required to read an article like this and not die from major boggle displacement. "The situation in the area where the Finnish peacekeepers operate is so close to a state of war that situations in which a soldier has to use a weapon are far from impossible. Threatening situations occur every week." In Afghanistan. Who'da thunk it? Now I gotta take my boggle in, again, for a complete overhaul. |
