many may find this 'heavy and boring'. I found this mini-documentary (~2 minutes) to be utterly thought provoking and incredibly a very interesting, but that's just moi!

For you old car fans, a trip down memory lane. For the youngun's out there - these were cars you could actually work on and adjust and tinker with everything. In otherwords, these classics aren't loaded up with no embedded microcomputers controlling fuel mixtures, anti-lock brakes, entertainment components, stabilization, power distribution, and so on. Pure analog, baby!

Jimmy the Painter

There was a painter named Jimmy who was very interested in making a penny where he could, so he often thinned down his paint to make it go a wee bit further.As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but eventually the Baptist Church decided to do a big restoration job on one of their biggest buildings.Jimmy put in a bid, and, because his price was so low, he got the job.So he set about erecting the scaffolding and setting up the planks, and buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to say, thinning it down with turpentine.Well, Jimmy was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly completed, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder, the sky opened, and the rain poured down washing the thinned paint from all over thechurch and knocking Jimmy clear off the scaffold to land on the lawn among the gravestones, surrounded by telltale puddles of the thinned and useless paint.Jimmy was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so he got down on his knees and cried: 'Oh, God, forgive me; what should I do?'And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke... 'Repaint! Repaint! And thin no more!'
