Carole,
1       There should be more balance in your viewpoint - think of the
majority of porkies as well.  I believe that the ordinary pig-in-the-street
would definitely love to be swiped through the armpit of a gentle ederly
lady.  This could therefore be a win-win situation - both the researcher and
the pig (and in many cases the elderly lady) will enjoy the process.
2       I have been sniffing all the E-mails that I receive and can openly
declare that there are no elderly ladies in this group.  There could however
be a technical problem ascribed to the distance of the average armpit to the
computer and I ask on behalf of the rest of us that anybody feeling like an
old lady (or a young male) alter her(his) typing position to bring the
aforementioned armpits very close to the computer when typing material for
the website.
        The advantages are obvious:
i)      we all can get a chance to do some experimantal research.
ii)     The elderly lady with new typing position has a further reason to
visit the movement disorder specialist.

A new industry could be launched with:
                new types of keyboards,
                special olfactory-sensitive microphones, designed with
revolutionary clip-on mechanisms,
                new PC's will be designed with stereo smelling-loudspeakers
(woofers replaced by whiffers),
                Windows2001 will cater for this third dimension - vision,
audio and now smell.
The whole broadcast industry will have to expand to meet this new need -
when the actor has lunch in the Diner we will SMELL the hamburger and chips
and coffee.  We will SMELL the blood when watching E.R., SMELL John's clean
toilet in Ally McBeal (as well as the other not-so-clean toilets as
reference),  SMELL the swamp in the scary movies etc.

So please, do not stand in the way of advancing science, ALTER your typing
positions NOW!

        On behalf of pigs everywhere, must protest suggested
        use (on this List, no less) in testing (?)on/under
        elderly womens' armpits.  Haven't pigs already
        suffered enough for humanity?
                                  Til ALL pigs Fly,
