Which it isn't. But good thing, usually the crankshaft bolt does come out since it is basically not corroded. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Military Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]
Post #196,760 by CRConrad 3/1/05 9:25:33 AM Reply	But, "easy-out" - is that really what it's called? Even among people who use them daily? I have a hard time believing that even American mechanics are that bereft of imagination... Back when I was a kid, and occasionally helped my Dad extract a bolt (the ones that hold the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head on the Volvo B18 engine were especially prone to breaking, as I recall), I learned quite a different moniker for that kind of tool. Mon cher pere and his colleagues at work all swore that the reason they called it a "grispitt" was that it looks exactly like a part of the porcine anatomy... So that's not some wimpy "E-Z Out" (or however you want spell it) -- it's a "Hog Dick"! HTH! :-) [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

Your 'depression' may be the closest you ever come to recognizing truth: you have no 'inferiority complex', you are inferior - and something inside you recognizes this. - [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=71575\|Ashton Brown]

E-Z Out™ Yeap, in the the less educated areas of the Appalachian Mountains area in the US, they done call it a "Hog's Dick" cause it screws in the wrong direction. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* [link\|http://it.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=134485&cid=11233230\|"Microsoft Security" is an even better oxymoron than "Military Intelligence"] No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link\|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp\|source]
