[sdiy] Am I crazy?

[Bob Weigel]

(From abbot and costello routine with the nutty guy in the prison)  
"You're crazy!"    guy- "I'm not crazy!  I've...got a brother who's 
crazy...."   Costello- "Who told you you're not crazy!"  guy- " My 
brother....."

hehe.  Anyway I don't think we'll have to shoot it full of holes.  I 
think it'll be full of them from use!  :-) Because the thumb tacks 
probably won't make good contact if put in with any lateral stress for 
long.  And you'll have to keep making new holes I believe :-).  I'm 
suspecting it'll be a hotbed of intermittent connection nightmares.   
Test it on a small scale first. -bob
