    Disney's 1993 Sleeping Beauty bonds

    Have we ever discussed Disney's Sleeping beauty bonds, their 7.55% 100-year bonds issued in 1993 callable in 2023? I hadn't heard about them until today.

    Calibrating a hygrometer

    @TiggerDad brings up a topic that I've always wondered about, calibration of hygrometers and specifically digital hygrometers: I wanted to take this discussion out of the Gondola thread lest it drive @The Mom crazy. :) So my go-to digital hygrometer for the home is the Accu-Rite 01083M...

Suggested Solution: Add a feature like the vBulletin thread wiki feature to allow the OP or an admin to add a wiki at the beginning of the thread. The...
