I remember this regular contributor to your newsgroup sometime ago.  What's
happened to her ?

Maybe she grew up and became a whole cake or even a loaf.

Google Groups finds her posting in various newsgroups, one
posting dated 8 June 2005.  Most of the postings are asking
for help on more or less technical issues.  One is asking
for places to buy bubble wrap in Winnipeg.

The last posting in alt.usage.english that Google Groups
finds is dated 20 September 2004.  She posted to deny that
"781's middle name is 'Humpty Dumpty'".

But who knows who may be posting under the name "Bun Mui"?
Even when "she" was posting an unvarying ten per day here,
there was speculation that "Bun Mui" was being used by
several people with varying degrees of proficiency in
English.

You want to post under the name "Bun Mui"?  Go ahead.  No
one can stop you.

Huh!  Am I suppose to laugh, teacher?

Thanks for the info.  I still remember being tickled by seeing so many
old-timer regulars here, mostly western men, being intriqued by the identity
of this mysterious person who seems to be an 'oriental' lady.  I suppose she
must also be tickled to death.

You mean taking up another person's identity?  I don't know if you do it.  I
don't do this sort of thing.

Big Bertha Thing Battle

1. Do not fight.
2. Fight on ground of your own choosing.
3. Make sure you have got an edge.
4. Is it worth dying for?

Spam stands for:-
Spleen
Paucity
Artless
Monosylabic

It includes newbies, spammers, spam busters and even
sometimes victim support. The only good spam is branded spam,
which is more Sesame Street than Darth Vader.

To the victor the spoils, of the 1st Battle of Cyberspace.
(20 family jewels and the 301 files.)

This has been a serious exercise, under the auspices
of the Pastures project, OUSA Classical Particle,
in conjunction with OUSA Research.
Thank you,
Tony Lance

Big Bertha Thing Probe-B

In the Sunday Telegraph of 11th April 2004, the QED section, gave the story of
the Gravity Probe-B satellite launch. This is expected to prove the existence of
a new force of nature, proposed by Einstein.

There are one or two problems with this:-
1. Einstein never proposed this new force of nature. (Funding canard)
2. It is a magnetic force directly proportional to angular momentum. (Memomagnetism)
3. It is weak at Newtonian speeds and strong at near light speeds.
4. The big three in gyroscopes are Einstein, Professor Francis Everitt of
     Stanford University and Harold Crabtree M.A.
5. One wrote the definitive book on the subject and the other two read it.
6. The relevant extract from the book is given below. (Spider published 4th March 1998)
7. They do not credit the costermonger, with the definitive experiment,
     which proves the existence of the new force of nature.
8. They do not accept that the novelty item was a valid experiment.
9. They believe that the spider wheel was magnetized.
10. The costermonger did not magnetize the spider wheel, he exploited a force of nature.
11. The costermonger discovered, applied and sold the first working application.
12. There is an eye-witness account from 1850 by the author, which kindled his
     life-long interest.
13. The description was published in 1909, in the same book.
14. The force of nature has been missing for 150 years, since its discovery.
15. The first modern publication on the subject is spider, on 4th March 1998. (Usenet)
16. Attribution and due credit are two of the failings of modern science.

Drawing of a clockwork spider wheel and hairpin.

Extract from Introductory Chapter;-
The "Spider tops," which are frequently sold in the streets of London,
consist of a heavy little disc mounted on a spindle (Fig. XIV.).
When the disc has been set spinning a small curved piece of
metal is placed to touch the toe, and at once begins to slide round it,
first the side (a) in the figure, and then the side (b),
the motion continuing backwards and forwards till the top comes to rest.
The fact is that the toe is magnetic, and this being the case it is easy
to see that the rolling of the toe on the side of the metal produces
the motion.

From the book
An Elementary Treatment of the Theory of
Spinning Tops and Gyroscopic Motion.

Assistant Master at Charterhouse

Big Bertha Thing fact

Anything but a fact, changes the face of twentieth century science.
1. No iron moons and planetary cores.
2. No red shift measure of speed.
3. No Patrick Moore star at 95% the speed of light.
4. Muons arrive on earth.
5. Relativity is like an imaginary number; useful but not real.
6. Einstein-Haas gives a field strength 1/10000th the electric field.
7. Wave particle duality is a field effect.
8. Schroedinger is an approximation.

Who has the wit to check the fact?
