        That has got to be the DUMBest idea I've seen come along in years!

        Are we sure this isn't one of the (in)famous Urban Legends?

        I'm going to see if I can get in touch with NIST today to try and verify
or disprove it. I agree with others -- it sounds like something straight
out of a kid's nonsense vocabulary. Specifically, it sounds like something
straight out of either 'Barney' or the 'Teletubbies.'

        You don't want to get me started about either. ;-)
