I just read a small piece in the Feb. Reader's Digest on a ferret named
Misty. It was neat. Apparantly the US Space Command ran into a problem
at it's New Year 2000 missle warning center. To connect new computers at
the center wires had ot be threaded through 40 foot long narrow conduits.
Misty had a piece of yarn tied around her tummy. Misty dashed thru the
conduit, towing the yar and the yarn was used to pull a wire. Misty's
reward fo making several trips? Strawberry Pop Tarts.
