    A Mashie Niblick? They were very advanced. Personally I'd use my woodie.

    FER DOOMSAYER IZE:

    Hurricane Sandy's waves, driving rain and wind weren't the only things doing damage to the New York region last October: Researchers say that the hurricane was strong enough to register on seismometers—which are used to measure earthquake magnitudes—as far away as the West coast.
    "We detected seismic waves created by the ocean's waves both hitting the East coast and smashing into each other," Keith Koper, director of the University of Utah's seismograph stations, said in a released statement. According to Koper, the so-called "microseisms"—small waves of seismic energy—were strong enough to register as about a magnitude 3 earthquake.


    Koper said that Hurricane Sandy did not register as an "earthquake," but that its waves was powerful enough to shake the ground, much like an earthquake does. Koper and his colleague, Oner Sufri, presented preliminary findings of their research at the Seismological Society of America's annual meeting in Salt Lake City Thursday.
    Think of this in advance of Arthur. ;)

    No, a Mashie Niblick is more the equivalent of a 5 iron. The equivalent of a 9 iron would be the Mashie. More info here.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    And all these years I thought my Jewish friends were talking Yiddish.
