Some scientist in California, I believe - where else? - tested Rhinoceros Beatles to see how many times their body weight they could carry. He made up tiny dumb bells with lead weights, put them on the beetles' backs, and put them on a tiny treadmill - I am NOT making this up! Well, the damn beetle was able to carry a multiple of its weight equivalent to an Olympic weight lifer's carrying three and a half Toyota sedans! Of course all of this begs the question of why ABC wasn't using the time to....Oh hell, never mind.... -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Kit McChesney | Vuelux Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 5:51 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: RE: [Leica] LUG Immunity If you drank the equivalent of what a gallon of Lagavulin is to a rat, you'd be dead, too!

You know they once fed a rat a gallon of Lagavulin in a day and it died? Of couse they never erased the smile from its face either. I do McCallan's 18 year old myself. Not messing with the younger stuff - you could get arrested!
