Gotta admit I don't know QEF, but QED I learned via science fiction.  No, that was Q.U.R.  Remember that great story?

Then, as a hint, there was a seminal work by Karel Capek.  Two points if you know the word we got from that book.
How about R.U.R., Rossum's Universal Robots.

Geez, Don, you might be old after all.  There's hope for you. . .but check to make sure it wasn't Rossum's Usuform Robots.

It comes from the Slavic for "work".

Hey Jon, what happened to the cuss word filter...  :?  :?

It comes from the Slavic for "work".

Mike

Mike used that four letter word that needs to be filtered with something like Willys (sticking with car themed cuss filter)

Anyone catch the photo of our GMC 6 powered #49 Roadster on the salt on one of the Burns Stainless Banners? It's a great honor and as they have told me I'm one of the few of theirs that isn't hidden under the car.
