- I first heard this story in Montreal in 1973, the last time I ran into this
- story was in 1976 when my philosophy prof at UofM (Manitoba) put it in context
- of cause, effect and the mind. I'm paraphrasing "You heard of that woman lif-
- ting that car to save her child but you don't hear of the damage she did to
- her vertebrates.." I don't know his sources but I wonder if this story is
- an urban myth along with "this bridge/dam/skyscraper/beer vat has a worker
- buried in the foundations because they couldn't retreive him when he fell in."
