Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

I wonder if you heard me splutter over the pixels...

Well, look. For one thing yer man can't stomp his foot. All he can do is look like a coy maiden mincing in a grove or something. Not that there's anything wrong with that, all you coy maidens in groves out there, but c'mon. As a guy fluter I decry the stereotype. :swear:

I'm sure the experienced galley slaves here will find something. Like their hands are too far apart for leverage, or long beards get caught in the oars ...

It figures. What else would galley slaves do off-duty but .. hold rowboat races.

Didn't realize those big ships were oar-powered, though. So "nuclear" is really referring to DNA?
