OK, now they're askin' for it.  Can't stop with stereotyping about
radiation effects.  Now they're on about my favorite canine breed.  I'm
insulted, my wife will be insulted, my dog will be insulted (and he's the
one with the big teeth {or does that further the stereotype?}).  I guess
it's good that we're finally getting cable this weekend.  Meanwhile, it's
time for a trip to the USA web page...<g>
