Fear the squirrel.

Ahhhh...but assume the squirrel eats 20 grams of peanuts (about 3/4 of an ounce)

By my calculations:

E=(1/50kg)(3x10^8m/s)^2=9x10^16J
which, if I'm not mistaken, is equivilent to roughly a 1 megaton nuclear bomb.

The squirrel should fear the peanut!

PBW Down...

There is an unbearable emptiness in my soul. I shall sit here staring blankly into the empty vacuum of my laptop.

By the way my $20 is out the door today, out of nothing but guilt for not having acted sooner. Perhaps if we have all acted in time, we could have had the exterminators on scene to prevent this travesty.

This failure is not for lack of money. It's just one of those things that happens sometimes. We are working to get it resolved.

Geo-

I know... hey I was just fooling around a bit.

Regardless; I really have sent the donation and (quit procrastinating about it). The PBW team is the tops and deserves it.

Speedy recovery,
Stoney

George, I would like to sent you 20 grams of peanuts. Errr..no, acorns? Oh, you know what I mean!

In a previous thread (PBW needs you!), I vaguely remember you giving the payee for the cheque as "Mr. George Perley" and your address. Let's see if I can remember...

Mr. George Perley
20 Acorn Grove
Acornville, ND
United States of Acorn

No, that doesn't seem right...

Mr. George Perley
30 Squirrel Runway
Squirrelville, ND
United Squirrels of America.

No, that also doesn't seem right....

George, why don't you give us your address, so that us slackards will have no excuse for not sending you a cheque if we do not like paypal.

Hey guys, George is not asking for much! $5.00, if we can spare it (see "PBW needs you!"). For those who have not read it, I'll bump the thread to the top of the list.

Fyron how are you holding out... With the PBW down... I figure you have an extra 2 to 3 hours of time every day
