<VV> In re.CorV8

[Jim Becker]

Only because I couldn't work a Lucas refrigerator joke into a Saturn 5 
comment.

My preference is a fuel pump that keeps running without the periodic monkey 
wrench in the works.

You've really got it on for SU fuel pumps, haven't you? ;) I still say
it's better to have a fuel pump that responds to a tap with a monkey
wrench when it dies, rather than one that stays dead!
Maybe not in a Saturn V though. Which, incidentally, was just an
up-rated Nazi V2 rocket. There would have been a Swastika on the Moon
long before 1969 if we hadn't upset their plans ;)
