- That's what started the whole thread-- everyone has heard these stories
- but there's never any details. It reminds me of the nuns from Catholic
- elementary school-- they were full of miracle stories about people
- growing new eyes and legs and stuff, but they could never point to a
- single person by name who grew a new eye.
-
- Also, there isn't any data on the condition of the security bars--
- some guy may have ripped off a damaged or flimsy set of bars.
-
- Another reader did what sounds like a convincingly comprehensive
- computer search, which I've repeated (on a smaller scale), without
- finding anything of substance. As soon as the holidays are over
- I'm going to tap into Dialog and search again on a grander scale.
-
- I'd like to believe the stories, but so far I'm not convinced.
