I once overheard a couple of girls talking about ones sex the night before with her boyfriend and she insisted he used a condom, the other asked:
""Why, are you afraid of getting a bit more pregnant?" and laughed
"Yes. Why are you laughing?"
Yes I can believe that.
A lady was speaking about dogs, breeds, Crufts and all that, (My dog was a mongrel, a Labrador cross, great dog, loved him to bits).
The lady (an accountant) that if a "pure" breed of dog was allowed pups by a mongrel then the pure breed would be spoiled in the eyes of the dog fraternity.
When I asked why she replied that future pups even when both parents were pure breed would have a trace of the impure dog in them.
I didnt think it worked like that?
Anyway, more to the point, I reckon John is correct (sorry Morq) but just to add, I did here tell that the Nazis inflicted all sorts of electric shock tests in the concentration camps etc to investigate what level of shock might result in electrocution under the right (wrong!) conditions . If true that might be the closest we got to some answers. It was suggested that 12mA even 11,10,9 etc might result in death under certain conditions.
Thing is, whether its tests on humans/animals/rockets however gained and at whose expense of the outcome, should we unlearn it or use it to save more lives? what would be the best honour to those unfortunates? Dilemma - dammed if we do dammed if we dont!
