Header by Samulli. Play T13 here.

Here's another EnjoyTheMasti mail which I don't consider spam while the fun it brings lasts. The claim is nobody understands women better than engineers do. Their definition is composed of five parts consisting significant points about women, all numbered 1 to 13 which make up my list today.

II. PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

4. Boils at absolutely nothing - freezes for no apparent reason

5. Found in various grades ranging from virgin material to common ore.


III. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

7. Explodes spontaneously without reason or warning

8. The most powerful money-reducing agent known to man.


IV. COMMON USE
