SmooPower, you've outdone yourself with this research. Did you download that from your kindle?

Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. :wink:

out of hibernation - SmooPower's recounting of Hayden Fry's account is what i remember - i am not as sure about this but i believe that Lee Iococa's daughter was a SMU student at the time which could be the real reason why the car was named the Mustang

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe Hayden was there...of course, as always, I could be wrong. :wink:

PK, you missed your calling you litigator. BTW, I finally got to ask an expert in a depo a couple weeks ago about Young's modulus, you would have been proud of me.

For the love of Pete, let it die. That's how the story goes.
