I don't remember the watch, but he did use the Geiger counter to determine the ore previously collected from Crab Key by the murdered British agent was radioactive.

They even hold the ability to search for certain kinds of dark matter -- the invisible stuff whose clumps make up 83 percent of the matter in the universe.

It's pretty impressive that we know so much about the stuff and can make those sorts of declarations.

Well, yeah, of course; but the question is why did Congress make it that way? It just seems like a rather odd place to draw the line.

Yeah, that's the weird thing about this whole topic. I don't know how it is in Canada, but - why do US states have what amounts to partial autonomy in this regard? States are allowed to choose between implementing twice-yearly DST switches or sticking with year-round standard time... but they can't choose permanent DST?

I *did* live it, and I can't say going to school in the dark bothered me in the least.

But, in any case, I'll be retired soon - so I no longer particularly care which way we go. I think maybe we could even keep doing what we're doing, and I'll bring the popcorn to these ongoing Slashdot discussions.

PLUS that would leave more room for additional TIOBE surveys!

Isn't that a bit like me saying "my wife and Mrs. Wagon ..."?
