For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
American contributors might be interested to know
that not long ago an English conservative member of
parliament ("brilliant future", "ministerial
potential" etc) killed himself with this rather
dodgy practice. He didn't do it with a public roller
towel machine, but in the privacy of his own home
with a length of electrical cable tied between his
neck and his leg.
For extra piquancy, he also had a mandarin orange in
his mouth which was reputed to be impregnated with
drugs.
don't try this at home kids - unless you get your
parents to supervise
sorry about the contractions [just trying to stay
near to TECHWR-L]
