My issue just arrived with an article by Jarrett Lobell, "Pieces of History"; On one of Britain's most famous battlefields.

Early gun fragments hint at a new style of warfare. Pieces of cast bronze cannons were analyzed and shot constructed with a cast iron cube for a core, contained in a poured lead shell.  Lead spattered upon impact but with this construction, the iron kept on going to smash what it hit.

Thanks George. I did it correctly in the body   That's the rebel way of spelling it   I was being fair by spelling it two ways

Often attributed to Mark Twain - I have no respect for someone who only knows one way to spell a word.

Tim: Twain also said, "The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and lightning bug".

As evidenced by the fellow who applied for the position of warehouse manager (Madison WI 1968 if I recall correctly) but spelled it 'whorehouse manager.

Shame on you, Cat!      

The story came from the guy at the employment agency.   

There are a few cat houses here, though  - but all of them are for the 4-legged ones.
