RE: Physics law confusion in ad copy

[Sheron Snyder <SNYDERS@pa.msu.edu>]

Hi All!

George

One of the local physics teachers (Mid-Michigan) has a video tape of TV
commericals that "abuse", "misconstrue", or violate the laws of science to
promote their product.

I will ask him about sharing of the tape.  He is on spring break, hopefully
some where warm (they predict snow tonight!).

If folks are interested, I will compile a list of names, BUT please for all
our sakes SEND ME A MESSAGE ------

    DON'T USE REPLY

Thanks all,
bye for now,
sheron
