My brother, who belongs to a rocketry club, wanted to include his two little girls in his hobby somehow; their interests currently lean heavily to 'Barbie.' So he designed a little capsule with a parachute, attached it to one of his rockets, and launched "Escape Velocity Barbie." Up 1000 ft into the air zoomed the intrepid princess of pink...the capsule detached...but the parachute failed to deploy! Down, down tumbled the ersatz astronaute, accompanied by gasps of horror from 'her' owners... Poor Barbie! <evil grin>
(They forgave him - eventually - but I'm not sure what the bribe involved.) Debbi (who's co-owner Pilikia (that's Hawaiian for 'trouble,' which he is) sniffs that any proper cat can go ballistic without resorting to rocket engines) __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
