[Sca-cooks] A&S projects

Daniel commented:
  ======
In the case of "the hole" I did get some of the judges to test it for
comfort.  Hypothetically one might offer the items, with period
instructions, to the judges for testing.

For those wondering just what Daniel is talking about...
12thC-Hole-art    (19K)  8/22/04    Reconstruction of the hole in a  
period
                                        toilet seat by Ld. Daniel

  =====
It should be noted that Consumer Report recently tested latex  
condoms.  One
might use their methodology to determine loss of integrity.  <snip>

   Perhaps if one had a sufficiently large experimental base
and the intend use was indeed contraception one could do a follow up the
next Pennsic as it would be 4 months past the gestation period.  Of  
course
the experimental subjects would have to pledge to use the items  
throughout
the test period, i.e. the two weeks of Pennsic.

While I do not intent to do this hypothetical A/S project it does  
suggest to
me that an article regarding how such a project could be done might  
be of
interest.  A "how to" article detailing documentation, experimental  
design,
construction, testing and results.

Okay, Daniel. When I can expect to get a copy of this article on how  
to do such a project, for the Florilegium?

And for those who don't know, Daniel is perfectly capable of writing  
such an article. See this one:
Whimsy-art         (4K)  8/22/04    "A New Art/Sci. Category: A  
Whimsical
                                        Proposal" Ld. Daniel Raoul le  
Vascon.

And I know that this article has gotten republished at least once, as  
I got a publication notice about it.
