LOL on the lack of female callers! So now, the lines will be jammed with women! We ARE listening. And now, we are hearing from a woman right off the bat after the break. Guess you called us out, Art. ;)

This article made a good parallel with the show's topic nicely.

Well, there's the answer to that question. It doesn't have to be on to be fried.

Does show there is some awareness out there. And, yes Joolz. If more females were involved in the running of things, we would have a much better world. ;) You did not say this, but I am extending a thought here. And, seriously.

More talk abut women here...

I would need a big microwave. Better I guess to maybe line the inside of a box in the basement.

Yes. I realized that a while back in my research tonight.

Ah, well. Tonite's a wrap.

Nice sharing this with all of you.

Such a potential for a sexist quagmire!...:eek:

But technological understanding requires subtlety and intuition, and these are both powerful qualities that are considered to among the feminine virtues....

On the other hand why do I, a guy, end up fixing things all the time.....:rolleyes:

...tongue in cheek here!...
