    Sorry...

    Literary reference to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

    The answer to the question was 42. The planet Earth was created, by super-intelligent mice, to be a supercomputer to be used to calculate the question to that answer but unfortunately the Earth was destroyed prior to the completion of the calculations.

    I used to play a mud and if you typed 42 in any command sequence your character would scream " 42 !?!?!"

    and I've heard that other places (references to 42)

    what gives?

    It's from a book called, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams. There was a whole series of the books, a BBC radio program, a BBC television mini-series and a hollywood movie a couple years ago.

    [QUOTE=Utopian;414978] Now, I have a bit of an aversion to the Glass Stones because they are so thin. On the other hand, I believe they are considered by many to be great hones and I have read many praising comments about them.QUOTE]

    I have lapped my GS series hones before every honing session for well over a year and still can't tell I have made them any thinner. The first lapping with pencil marks took about 5 minutes and the before honing lap is just a few swirls under running water.

    Thanks ......... I don't get out much.....

    I'll second the notion that the glass laps fast and basically stays flat.
