Right....But left always takes the easy way

Well since no one wants to start the next round..



If Hercules' tall stature might be guess'd
But by his thumb, the index of the rest,
In due proportion, what is the best rule that I
Would choose, to measure Venus' beauty by?

 

[Gumby]

These two statements cannot be joined as they have no relationship.


I'm not smart, I just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night:toung:

Very good Frixxxx. Thant Holiday Inn was good for you.:nuts:

 

[Gumby]

$55 for the room and the $2 the bellman has equals the $57 that the ladies spent (3 X $19 = $57). The other $3 is their change from the $60.

Kevin, yes that is another way to solve it.

Venus' beauty is immeasurable, and any effort to do so will get you cursed by the Goddess herself!:blink:

Whats a Monkey Tool and how is it used?

I apologize! Lord forgive me and be with the starving pigmies in New Guinea!

My official answer is a Monkey Tool is one of three things:

1. A stick that a monkey uses to dig out ants, termites, and grubs for food.

2. Slang term for a hammer and chisel.

3. A computer program used at the command line of a DOS.

 

[KevinD]

#2 is close. A hammer IS involved.

 

[KevinD]

2. Slang term for a hammer and chisel.

OK. We'll go with this.

All a monkey tool is a piece of steel that has a hole the size and shape of the tennon that you are trying to create. The edges of the monkey tool are clean and slightly radiused. The idea is to drive the monkey tool on to the tennon to crisp up the corners so it fits tight to the mortise.
