   again? I'm not superstitious, but this is funny. On New Years eve I went to a   
   bar, to watch some live music. Right after midnight I saw a young blond woman   
   by herself and I said "happy new year" to her. I was expecting a simple "happy   
   new year" in return,   
    but instead she said "this is going to be a real bad year". I replied "why is   
   that?". She said "13 is a very bad number". I replied "people survived other   
   13 years, like 1913". She replied "there was no 1913". I laughed and said "of   
   course there was,    
   they cant skip a year". She insisted that there was no 1913, and was real   
   serious about it. I could see she was drunk, and BLOND. So, I just said "look   
   up an old calendar on the internet tomorrow and I bet there will be a 1913".   
   Then I walked away.....    
   and laughed.... I knew at that moment why she was by herself!!! Those blond   
   jokes are not always jokes! In fact I know one who fits every blond joke ever   
   written.....   
      
   I recommend you should not single out blondes being especially stupid. The   
   human species, Homo Wrectus has both males and females of many body types and   
   colourings, and members of this species can contain an abundance of bullshit   
   riddled thoughts and    
   ideas. If you haul each item out and examine it, and you manage to fully   
   refute its veracity, they will be more determined to believe their own   
   bullshit, because of an abundance of stubbornness and that belief in "We Shall   
   Not Be Moved". The only time    
   the world changes belief and practice is when it becomes so very uncomfortable   
   to remain the same.   
   Largely, the world is non convertable, with far more ppl thinking comfortable   
   lines of BS rather than be content with the raw horrid truth about all matters   
   about existance.   
      
   But I have made some fabulous amplifiers using 13E1. I'd reckon many   
   audiophiles will be reppelled by any suggestion they might use this fine tube.   
   Subconsciously, the 13 in the type number has them inwardly very perturbed,   
   AND, to ensure the tube is    
   bound to repel audiophiles, its a beam tetrode. I am so very glad that the   
   fully subjective minded audiophile doesn't like the 13E1, because that keeps   
   demand for remaining world stock low, and hence the price is low, phew! When   
   you have a car crash, don'   
   t yell out "MUMMA". There's 3 mm's, and m is the 13th letter of the alphabet,   
   Much better to play it safe and yell out "FaaarrrK".
