We need to makesure people like this are in a retirement home for their own good.
What are the Canadiasns thinking letting a frail old man play with huge rocks, what if that seven year old girl who pulled 535 pounds by herself had been injured?
Those damn Canadiasns....
That the 'cradles'
( term used in the TV program, or wherever-it-was that I years-ago got told this )
were placed-on each of the four long-sides of a block, and then rope wrapped 'round the sticks/rods holding the end-pieces of the cradles
( the quarter-rounds that were at each end of the block )
together, and the entire block rolled
( requiring only 5 people, rather than 60-150, which is what using small logs beneath a block would have required ),
was figured-out YEARS ago, and broadcast.
Perhaps the title should read:
Canadian Discovers Idea Broadcast Years Ago By American TV!
idiocy.
Idiocy that information has to be discovered again and again and again because of fractioning, of not-indexing ( it's proprietary, you aren't allowed to index it, publically ), of non-translation ( significant in science, the Yugoslavs have a saying 'Discovering Hot Water' for it... others already published, but it wasn't accessible in their info-sources... )...
