I'm only 49 but felt a very strong urge to join this thread. The wisdom of the ancients is something we can all learn from!

The day my oldest son asked me; "Hey, dad, did grampa let you use the family dinosaur to pick up your dates?"  I knew I was getting on or failed to teach him respect!  I was 39 or 40 at the time! mad  lol

Re: The Over-the-Hill-BunsenGang Thread

Does anyone here still remember Morse code? When I was a kid, I began learning it because you needed to pass a Morse code test to receive a ham operator's license. Since I lacked the funds for a Heathkit radio, I gave up the idea. Moreover, I tried listening and deciphering code operators on a short- wave radio but they were so fast, I was lucky to decipher the first few words.  8o

Re: The Over-the-Hill-BunsenGang Thread

We had a conversation once in #! OffTopic, carried out in morse code. Sometimes it's fun not getting a life!

I worked for a research organisation where a lot of the jargon was a holdover from morse transmissions, when remote field parties used it. "Q" codes are a 3 letter shorthand for a variety of Q and A's, so to ask where someone was, for example, we'd just say "QTH" ie "What is your position?"

Re: The Over-the-Hill-BunsenGang Thread

^ We should start a monthly thread for that - I often thought it would be a good idea on #!
(It could be a source for that cowsay quotes thing that is going on)

Then we can have an annual competition for the Winner big_smile

Re: The Over-the-Hill-BunsenGang Thread

Morse code - no ... but Flag semaphore, so as not to be confused with semaphore (programming).  Not to be confused with Sheldon's "Fun with Flags" either.

@hhh - I'll second that! - for November!
