LOL!

However, I'd suggest guinea pigs, they come in a variety of sizes, make less
noise on their own, are less prone to wandering off and are easier to mount
in the pedal box as they have little in the way of a discernable front or
back.

Apart from the natural feel of the pedal; there is the added advantage of
sound effects not entirely dissimilar
to those of squealing tyres when you are under heavy braking.

I've never felt so guilty while laughing my ass off before!  LOfrikkenL

A friend of mine has been hit in his left eye by a squash ball about 2
months
ago. His front eye-chamber was partly filled with *** (a so-called
hyphema); this was solved within one day. He was treated with Tobradex and
Scopolamine. After two weeks the only permanent damage seems to be a
slightly
enlarged pupil. This alone would not cause headaches or pain. However, after
one month after the accident, a headache came up, which intensifies in waves
behind or around his left eye. Within two weeks this headache grew to an
unbearable level. His head was examined by a CT scan and X-rays; no
abnormalities were found. Furthermore, he has no neurological disabilities.
He has been given Indometacine and Tramadol (Tramal) which only slightly
relieved the pain. Then he has been given Amitryptiline (Tryptizol; 70
mg/day) in combination with Deseril (30 mg/day). This treatment
significantly
reduced his pain, which is now bearible only with complete rest (12 hours
sleep per day and no reading or driving a car; no working, only watching
some
TV). However, after 1 month of resting in this way, the situation no longer
improves. Does anybody have a clue ???

Another lamer who thinks he's the ultimate knowledge in NNTP servers and
thinks that posting binaries in a non-binary newsgroup is totally acceptable
at short and long-term vision.

No I don't think that, but I do think my way of the gentleman he
shouldn't have posted a binary in here is better than the way you would
have told the gentleman ;).

I don't know of any staten usenet law that says you always need to be gentle
with the people who do such things.

You're probably gonna ge flamed for posting this attachment in this
(non-binary) group but this made me laugh harder than anything I've seen in
a LONG LONG time. My cat *loves* to wander in and out of my feet while I'm
playing, usually right when I really need to concentrate. In a 30 lap GPL
race at LeMans a few weeks ago she decided that was no fun so she decided to
stand between me and my monitor right as I was braking at the end of
Mulsanne Straight. Needless to say I ended up in the sand banks.
