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!
