[QUOTE]Originally posted by Siegfried: [QB] I have no idea about poly-ribbon; it might besomething he devised for his story (something like pieces of ribbon made of polymers perhaps). As for mailing tubes, those are cardboard cylinders that many companies use to ship posters and large pictures through the mail. You just roll up the poster, stuff it in the tube, and mail it. The disposable phone sounds like it might be another invention for the story, but it's certainly probable we may soon find ourselves being disposable phones instead of one-shot long-distance phone cards. I mean, we already have disposable cameras. [URL=http://babelfish.altavista.com/]Babelfish[/URL] says that "pinche" translates into English as "puncture." I'm not sure if this a Spanish slang phrase or not, but I'd say it's possible since you cite another instance of "pinche whatever." A chupacabra is (literally) a goat sucker. It's an evil little demon creature that runs around at night sucking blood out of its victims (usually livestock) like a vampire. [/QB][/QUOTE]
