Hi Guys,
Here comes another puzzle.....
A giant truck gets loaded to its max capacity and tips the scale on the weigh bridge at 10 tons. It starts from point A and after traversing a distance of 10 miles arrives at a bridge on river kiev. The board reading 'WARNING : VEHICLES NOT TO EXCEED TOTAL WEIGHT OF 10 TONS. 1 gram (CGS system) MORE AND THE BRIDGE COLLAPSES.' has been ignored by our careless driver. When he is about to get on the bridge a sparrow comes from nowhere and perches atop the truck and stays there while the truck traverses the bridge. Surprise of surprises the bridge remains intact and the truck is happily on its way. How did this miracle happen!!

PS : Hope u all have seen sparrows.

sometimes when i was floating off the coast of iraq i wondered why i was there... i mean, why in the world would anyone want to stand 7 hour watches every 5 hours in 120 degree heat?
the answer is: if we (the US) did not stick our noses in iraq's business, Saddam would have run over Kuwait and then moved on to Saudi or Iran.
China has some serious nuclear power now, so we should definitely be concerened about what they are doing. fortunately for us, they do not have the capability to land on our shores (however they do have a new ballistic missile submarine)... but, that is also the reason they will use Taiwan to draw us into a conflict.

Hi again,
Just wondering if any of you guys know anything about passing a variable into an SQL statement....e.g...
INSERT INTO TEST Data ( 1, ""+variable , 'Thursday', 1, 5 )
Can anybody clarify whether this is even possible (in any shape or form)???
Thanks,
alan
