These are very unlikely to be reissuued--either they're worth about 25 each to you or not ... can't really count Insiding in the equation, as the single cd regularly sells for less than 5 dollars! A very mild defence of The Wire: It's not like they can just put anything they want on those cds. Anyway, I thought the material off cold blue music was strong and may purchase some. That said, I tend to skim quite a bit of the magazine these days.

I don't want to dwell on this any more than necessary, but I recently (last week!) had to debunk this one. Looks like I'm doing it again. The whole story is available at the US Navy's history page: http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq107.htm The short answer is that this trivia story is wrong. Cannonballs were stored on wooden racks. "Monkey" is a nautical term which has been applied to several different things, including guns. - --- Ari Britt wrote: > > > The solution was a metal plate called a, "Monkey," ... > > > Thus, the origin of, quite literally, " It's cold > > enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey!"

Should get himself a better publicist.........mmmmmm, I dunno though ;) AndyL ps. Could be worse. How about spending 27 years, falsely accused, in prison and coming out to find that 'My Sweet Lord' is still number 1! ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V5 #16 ******************************
