Tuesday Trivia

No Tuesday Trivia for you today. One of my readers has taken the time and energy to send me a tastefully large sum of money to buy my silence about some items I was going discuss on this forum. As you read this, a courier is cycling his way to the agreed location with the original documents. The magnesium burster charge should cook off just around five seconds before he hands them over to the other courier, as per agreement. Live streaming video on the paysite, of course.

This weeks theme is Make your own Artillery. Most urban dwellers in the regions that surround Toronto, can trace their ancestry back to the happy, pagan peoples of the peaceful Germanic tribes that surrounded the Roman Empire. These new age Goths, Saxons, Huns, Alans, Burgundians, Franks, Danes, and Vandals, all celebrate artillery as a way of seeking solutions to disagreement. The Celtic tribes of the Irish, Welsh, and Scots also celebrate artillery, but not as much. They prefer a pint of Guinness, and an axe.

Our first link is to one that is on most urban Chieftains list of bookmarks * . What farmer in the white homelands of the 519 does not have a spot on the estate for some state of the art 12th century siege warfare equipment? What marcher baron in the 905 does not have an arsenal of rock throwers or beam hurlers for the inevitable peasant uprising in the plantation of Scarborough?

Our second link is to an enterprising young man in New Zealand * . Too bad this sort of stuff is not taught in school. We need more young people like this, but the need for illiteracy programs and food handouts is more important than mathematics.

The third link is to the interesting projects site * . Indeed, the home handyman does not find much to keep him interested in the programs supplied by the local community center. He already knows how to read. He already has a job. He already knows how to speak English. Left to his own devices, it is off to the basement machine shop to make some interesting project!

The fourth link is for those of you wishing to explore your non-African heritage * . It is a great place to see what freedom fighters of the past have done to resist American Imperialism and fight Global Warming. Lots of prints and a detailed site worth exploring.

The fifth link is for the more advanced home hobbyist, searching for a project that is a step in complexity above that above * . Building one of something is one thing; building a salvo capable device is the next challenge!

The last link is for those alienated computer types out there * . Some of us do not know what memory resident programs are; some do. If you want to know, or know more, or know better, check out that link. It is a portal.
