Hmmm... needs to be a tool.... O'Reilly from Fox News? or maybe Michael Moore? The both seem like tools to me.

I don't know what the answer is Twirl.  I've found out a lot about the Hale telescope but I'm waiting to hear the right answer about the final polishing.

Okay, here's a couple of hints - everyone has a set of them.

 :2thumbsup;

I just watched a documentary on PBS about Hale and his work to get the telescope set up, so it might not be something you can google. . .

Got to be a body part if "everyone" has a set of them.  Boobs might provide an interesting, albeit somewhat inelegant, visual but only some men have boobs so I'm sticking with thumbs.

Please don't tell me the world is going to end if I'm wrong.  If that's the case the world has been on a stop/start messy cycle for many years now.

Yup, thumbs it is!

They would spend 15 minutes rubbing with their thumbs in a small spot.  That's enough to take off something like one one-millionth of an inch of Pyrex glass.  Then they had to let the glass rest for 24 hours because even that little bit of friction was enough to heat the glass and make it swell out of shape.  Can you imagine finishing a 200 inch piece of glass in 15 minute daily sessions with your thumbs?
Cool, yes?

Okay, here's my punishment question!

What country is 3rd, behind China and the US, as the worst source of greenhouse gases?
