Arthur, Kuru - "shaking death" - took less than 30 seconds. Rusty -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 1:01 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] MESSAGE ON BEHALF OF FEARLESS BOARD MEMBER COLBY Thank you both, Paul and Jim! I have no idea how to proceed, other than tossing my hat in. Should I run for election? F**k, that probably involves writing a campaign speech. "Forward! Bring it Forward. Pay Forward. I have given and received, and stand prepared to pay forward." Speaking of which, I would like to publicly thank Stuart Mac for his invaluable insights into making Access and MySQL play nicely together. And I have only one question at this moment for Stuart. While doing research on my "Advanced Power Searching With Google" on-line course. I happened upon a fact, hitherto unknown to me, in the context of diseases that are located geographically or racially (all along I have thought that sickle-cell anemia was a disease restricted to people of African descent, but I was wrong!). Anyway, back to the point. There is a disease that visits only PNG people, whose cause was only discovered after several decades of research, and said cause turns out to be cannibalism. However, according to my Google research, cannibalism was officially outlawed in PNG in the late sixties, and after that the incidence of this disease plummeted dramatically. And so, I pose a challenge for all you wonderful listers: what is the name of the disease described above? (Thanks to my investment in the hours required to take the "Advanced Power Searching With Google, I found the answer in under a minute.) Game On! A.
