Nimble Gimbal Symbol

What I have learned so far today: A universal joint is also known as a Cardan joint, Hardy-Spicer joint, or Hooke's joint. Before there were universal joints, there were gimbals. A gimbal is one of those gyroscope looking thingies. There exist a brazillion patents for universal joints. If I do my job, there will be a brazillion and one.

I noticed on the web that CNN online has undertaken a new project to give me an aneurysm:

Fine. I guess it will be foxnews.com and the BBC from now on. Fox news has recently redesigned their front page, moving the wingnuts down to the bottom where I don't have to see them. I'm still stuck at home- the only English news channel I get is CNN.

Hey, I was watching Battlestar Galactica last night and one of the fighters had a bad gimbal.

No, that was a "Brad Gumbel." He had a sportscaster caught in the afterburner.
