Yeah, the Mongolian Expeditionary Force is gearing up right now to airdrop (shaggy ponies 'n all) into Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.

" writes: I believe that we should hold out for a return of the beaver fur hat that was so popular many years ago. They are very elegant and they would also provide us with an incentive to get rid of some of those pesky little rodents. The hats in the 30's and 40's were okay but not up to earlier standards Actually, the underlayers of beaver fur was always favoured for the secondary manufacture of hat-making felt. Until it was discovered that sea otters' fur makes an even better felt. What is now known as British Columbia originated with the slaughter of so many sea otters so as to provide hats for Britain -- although the region had previously been partially explored & exploited by the Spanish and Russians. British Columbia history becomes quite interesting when one realizes it wasn't "discovered" by canoe-paddling, Scots-brogue-speaking HBC explorers sent out of Upper Canada, as so many school textbooks would have it. The indigenous Coastal folks seem to have preferred to make hats out of botanical stuff that one might also weave into bicycle baskets. cheers, Tom -- -- Nothing is safe from me.

Thanks for the compliment, but to clarify I have not built any bicycle, due to my "Red Green" level skills.

This forces the rider on an aerodynamic recumbent to ride the brakes all the way down the hill. I am sure these same upright riders would be "****ing and moaning" if a slow group of Fat Old Geezers (FOGs) on recumbents did the same on an uphill section. In much of my riding, anything more than single file makes it difficult to get past. Though I did manage to scare the cr*p out of a couple of lads going down towards Compton Abdale yesterday (as well as dropping one of them going up the other side). -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ We had that Maurits C.

Oh, I thought it was mainly middle-aged dads who find something irrresistible about a young girl riding a big horse. I want Peter Clinch to stop telling us all about himself in his stupid signature. LOL -- do you read his signature through each time he posts? Then how's he forcing his CV down your throat? We only need to know one or two things about anyone on Usenet - like maybe their name and where they are from. So what about them pervo ricons here in NYC that's got flags and boom-boxes all over their BIcycles? Now THAT's obnoxious! You are remiss in the name department yourself. Oh, do advise. Usenent is a public forum that anyone can tune into if they want. Rules govern how we should behave here. Old Pete is essentially spamming us for no purpose. He is beneath contempt. Hehe...reminds me of the boy in kindergarten that insists he pulls the girl's pigtails 'cause he hates her so much.... Well, yes, I need it for the occasional snakes and other critters you know. Oh, I thought it was for fishing. I simply can't stand Keillor. He is absolutely the world's biggest bore, bar none. ARE YOU NUTS? bush limhog is the biggest bore, and I actually agree with many of his evil repug prescriptions for a meaner society! Besides that, he is the worst kind of liberal you can imagine. He should have been a preacher. He surely is no entertainer. He sounds better than he looks...obviously a 'bent rider! Funny fella, though his "News from Lake Wobegone" is rather too often my least favorite part of the show.

A head with a helmet is bigger and heavier than one without so more likely to get a head hit at all, and being bigger it provides the extra leverage to add some interesting rotational leverage to your neck and spine.
