wah?" = "war"

Just being a little silly. I'm in the South, and if you found some old Civil War stuff on the net, jokes and such, you'll eventually come across it being spelled that way to show the pronunciation of the "deep south" I suppose. [wink]

Well, the "wah" I was referring to was the "American Revolution."

The usage of "wah" was just being silly with terminology - actually the whole thing was, of course.

The usage of "wah" is mostly used when talking about the "Warn between the States", or the "Civil War", or the "War of Northern Aggression". Just depends upon what history books you read, whom you ask, etc.

Anywho, now you'll know where that come from if you ever hear it. [wink]

You may all now put your aluminium hats back on now.
The mean old aliens have left.
I hear that Christo could cover the earth in tin-foil, to keep out all those nasty waves and beams.
Foil can be impregnated with plastic to make a very sturdy material. Aluminium Suits? Woven aluminium cloth?
