NAF UTILITY,  LANCE ARMSTRONG

I have not been doing things of major significance these last few days. Mainly trying to get up to the mark on my welding skills, ready to start work on my three wheeled pedal-cycle. I have been calling my configuration a 'tadpole' but saw the other day that it was being called a 'Y form' bike, because not only does it have a fat front and a narrow tail ... like a tadpole, but the frame is 'Y' shaped.

Because I have been studying the way in which air columns oscillate to give different sounds in flutes and organ pipes, I have put together a composite table of NAF data showing fingering, wavelengths and frequencies presented against a picture of the relevant piano keys and musical notes. Just felt it might be of use to any other NAF players/experimenters, so I have inserted it below.

The 'Lance is a druggy' whingers are wasting our time on the sports scene again. What a ridiculous state of affairs! The guy has won his races, been accused, tested, and cleared. Let's just leave it at that! Are we going to go back in time and look for ways to steal the glory from  Jesse Owens, Joe Louis, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali and all those greats from the past, just because we can't believe anyone could be so good without using drugs? Who's to say they didn't anyway!
If the best tests available have failed to confirm Armstrong's use of any performance enhancing chemicals lets just drop it and focus on today!
In any case, isn't it time we lost this sick addiction to pulling down the great and the famous and sensationalising their slightest transgression? We destroyed Tiger and killed Princess Di. Isn't that enough?
