That's nice. 8^)

Don't undersell yourself, Richard. You are possibly the only
Vort apart from Jones who has grasped the thread's significance.
Of course, you have a professional interest in water ...and all
its works ...and all its pumps (that's a pun which will only be
appreciated by those familiar with the baptismal ritual <grin> )
which means that you are "good ground" for new insights.

Not knowing what "shazzam" meant I googled.
=================================================
Traveling across the country in an RV, teen ager
Billy Batson and his adult companion, Mentor,
would encounter various situations that would
require their help. Whenever their help was needed,
a flashing light on the dashboard of the RV would
start beeping and blinking (Holy Batphone!) and
would summon the elders (Solomon, Hercules, Atlas,
Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury), who would give him
some cryptic advice needed for the emerging
situation. By yelling the word, "SHAZAM" (the word
is an acronym for all of the elders' names),
Billy would turn into Captain Marvel, an adult hero
with the power of flight, super speed, and super
strength. As Captain Marvel, he would use his powers
to capture criminals, save those in distress, and
right any other wrongs that came up.
