I think herding cats might be easier.

I just saw a truly stupid ad on TV showing cowboys herding cats. I don't even know what it was for. They were successful.

The name of the new album by Celtic Tide is called "Herding Cats."

N.O. I always felt it was more like nailing jelly( British meaning = jello in America) to the ceiling.

Well, Micca, always come to a Yank when you need a good technical solution. Your problem has two:

1. Turn room upside down; proceed with nailing.
2. Get larger nail with very wide head.

I have frequently said that getting engineers to use appropriate administrative skills is like herding wet catws. I think it is a beautifully apropos nalogy.

There's a solution for everything, albeit no universal solvent.

1. put jello (jelly for you brits) in ziploc bag. 2. nail bag to ceiling.

The other solution is
1 drop Jello into liquid Nitrogen
2 use glass nails...

No, but I have seen some lasses who seemed to be very involved with a similar effort!

You fellas play nice!! Don't go and muss up NightOwl's perfectly pure and pristine TFTD *BG*

So does that mean if I am moderately efficient at herding cats (goes without saying), then I should be more organized? T'aint happening....*EBG*
