Are there 22.5v. batteries?

I've heard of Aussie housewives being injured by amorous kangaroos that came 
in through doors left open.

There's also a youtube clip of an interview with a kangaroo reserve warden 
where the camera catches a kangaroo wanking in the background.

But I think shagging a kangaroo is strictly experts only territory! 

So this is what happens when you breath in the smoke while soldering.

   I think Maynard taught Phil the 'tricks' of that trade.   They do
fight like an old married couple.

"Breath" is a noun. It's the stuff that you breathe.

Hope This Helps!

Pork can be a verb.

Michael, I wouldn't worry about Ramon. He and Al Gore invented the
Internet. If you don't believe it just ask him. BWAHAHAHA.

   I was wondering where he was going to get the $800 for a 40+ year old
tadio.

The 22.5V battery was quite common at phone companies many
years ago.  It was built up as a "brick" from 15 AA carbon
cell batteries in a 3x5 package.  Looked hand-wired to me
when I used to use them circa 1970.  I would get mine from
the local phone company, for free.

Sure I do. I means his voltage doesn't have to be
exactly divisible by 1.5.

The name was "Scooter" and it was the source behind the first search
engine, Altavista. It took Scooter about a month to index the whole
web.

My buddies at Digital Equipment research (Unix/Ultrix division) in
Palo Alto wrote it, in a Skunkworks type of operation, against the
wishes of management. The funny thing is that when DEC was sold the
first part to go was the most valuable: Altavista. They placed
advertising in a blimp (very apropos) that glided above Fenway Park.
