Jennings Computing Center Lines: 27 Sender:brown@skybridge.scl.cwru.edu Well lets think physics, the bench is magnatized, so the particles are all organized in a nice orderly fashion. Making them disorganized would solve your little problem. So, how can we accomplish this, well several ideas come to mind 1) Drop the bench out of a tall building. 2) Drop something heavy and hard on it (see alt.sex no, just kidding) 3) Heat it, no need to melt it, but 5000 deg should be fine. 4) Put annother magnet on it, with the poles reversed 5) Hang it on the wall and use it to hold tools. 6) Get a bunch of liquid N and use the bench for super conductor research. 7) Donate it to a computer lab and forget about it. If that helps, Lemmi know. Nuff said!! Dan Brown brown@skybridge.scl.cwru.edu 11911 Calrton rd, Cleveland Oh. 44106 (216) 754-1833
