My dictionary knows only strange meanings like: > Schaft, Stiel, Pfeil, Strahl, Welle, Deichsel, Schacht. ------------ Shaft: Bamboozle, beat, beguile, burn (or flame), deceive, hoax, hoodwink. Drive: Campaign, crusade, push. So, 'shaft drive' may be a campaign to decieve or a crusade of beguile, efforts where are true to the spirit of this list. Wheel: revolution, swing Crusaders of beguile are innefective in revolutions and they cannot swing, either, therefore shaft drives cannot do wheelies. ==================================================== John Stafford Minnesota State University @ Winona All standard disclaimers apply.
