ya know vvvm, i work at a guitar store part-time and when someone comes in and walks around i walk up to 'em and say 'if ya gots any questions just let me know' and then i leave them the fuck alone until they approach me...most people who come in are just there to take a look and play some guitars and try some amps out and most of 'em can do that without my help ya know...i do stop into the amp room every now and then and ask if everyone is cool just because i wanna make sure people got enough cords to plug stuff in with and if they need me to bring out some effects boxes for them to try out...that's my favorite part - when someone comes up to me and asks to try out an effect that we have under the counter (like a fulltone pedal or something)...i get all excited and i'm like 'fuck yeah dude, let's plug that bitch in' and the last thing i say after they're plugged in and ready to try the effect out is 'i'm gonna close this door here so don't be afraid to crank that amp, tubes sound really good when they're loud'...it's just the coolest thing man...
of course we don't work on commission so i'm not pushing any sales on people...commission based stores just suck man...you can feel the vultures eyeing you the whole time...

Mengele was born in Günzburg, Bavaria, eldest of three sons of Karl Mengele (1881–1959), a well-to-do industrialist, and his wife Walburga Hupfauer (d. 1946). He had two younger brothers, Karl (1912–1949) and Alois (1914–1974).
In 1930 Mengele left Günzburg gymnasium (high school). He studied medicine and anthropology at the University of Munich, earning a doctorate in Anthropology (Ph.D.), supervised by Prof. Theodor Mollison, in 1935 with a dissertation on racial differences in the structure of the lower jaw. He worked as an assistant to Otmar von Verschuer at the Frankfurt University Institute of Hereditary Biology and Racial Hygiene. In 1938 he obtained a doctorate in medicine (M.D.) with a dissertation called "Familial Research on Cleft Lip, Palate and Jaw". His belief in the Nazi racial ideology was already evident in his academic research. The Universities of Munich and Frankfurt revoked his degrees in 1964.
In 1931, at the age of 20, Mengele joined the Stahlhelm, a paramilitary organization, which was incorporated into the SA in 1933. He resigned shortly thereafter, alluding to health problems. He applied for Nazi party membership in 1937 and in 1938 joined the SS. In 1939, Mengele married his first wife, Irene Schönbein, with whom he had one child, a son named Rolf. In 1940 he was placed in the reserve medical corps, following which he served with a Waffen-SS unit. In 1942 he was wounded at the Russian front and was pronounced medically unfit for combat, and promoted to the rank of SS-Hauptsturmführer (Captain). During his service on the Eastern Front during 1941-1942, Mengele received the Iron Cross, both first class and second class.

Moosey-why'd ya stop there?
Here's the true horror of Josef Mengele:
Auschwitz
In 1943 Mengele's application for an assignment to the Nazi extermination camp Birkenau was accepted: he replaced another doctor who had fallen ill. On May 24, 1943, he became medical officer of Auschwitz-Birkenau's "Gypsy camp". In August 1944, this camp was liquidated and all its inmates were gassed. Subsequently Mengele became Chief Medical Officer of the main infirmary camp at Birkenau. He was not, though, the Chief Medical Officer of Auschwitz — superior to him was SS-Standortarzt (garrison physician) Eduard Wirths.
It was during his 21-month stay at Auschwitz that Mengele achieved infamy, and it is for this period that he is referred to as the Angel of Death. Mengele took turns with the other SS physicians at Auschwitz in meeting incoming prisoners at the ramp, determining who would be retained for work and who would be sent to the gas chambers immediately.
[edit] Human experimentation
Mengele used Auschwitz as an opportunity to continue his research on heredity, using inmates for human experimentation. He was particularly interested in twins, who were selected and placed in special barracks. He also studied a disease called Noma, which particularly affected children from the Gypsy camp. While the cause of Noma remains not entirely known, it is a disease that affects chiefly children suffering from malnutrition and a weak immune system, and many develop the disease shortly after having suffered another illness like measles or tuberculosis. Mengele tried to prove that Noma was caused by "racial inferiority".
Mengele took an interest in physical abnormalities discovered among the arrivals at the concentration camp. This included dwarves, notably the Ovitz family, a Jewish Romanian artist's family, seven of whose ten members were dwarves. Prior to their deportation they toured in Eastern Europe as the Lilliput Troupe. He often called them "my dwarf family". To him they seemed to be the perfect expression of 'the abnorm'. Mengele's experiments were of dubious scientific value, including attempts to change eye color by injecting chemicals into children's eyes, various amputations of limbs and other brutal surgeries.
Rena Gelissen's account of her time in Auschwitz details certain experiments performed on female prisoners around October 1943. During roll calls Mengele would show up to perform a "special work detail" selection, which fooled some into thinking that this would be a relief from the otherwise hard labour they were performing. In actuality Mengele would experiment on the chosen girls, performing sterilization and shock treatments. Most of the victims died, either due to the experiments or later infections.
A Hungarian Jewish prisoner doctor, Miklos Nyiszli, who was an experienced pathologist and had studied in Germany, was chosen to work as Mengele's assistant, and wrote about his experiences. The subjects of Mengele's research were better fed and housed than ordinary prisoners and were for the time being safe from the gas chambers. To Mengele they were nevertheless not fellow human beings, but rather material to conduct his experiments on. On several occasions he killed subjects simply to be able to dissect them afterwards.

If this thread can be redeemed...
The Mengele thing should remind everyone that giving the reins COMPLETLY to any goverment isn't smart. When Bush started torturing people and denying them lawyers..I became very worried. Still am.

Ted Weber has made a believer out of me,man.
He's the actual builder of my pair of Scumbacks,which I've been using in a 2X12 cab I built.
Getting more of his stuff is high on my to-do list.
Some guys on another forum told me how to order the pre-Rola Celestion Greenback clone on his special-order page.Definitely gonna get a quad of those for a 4X12 cab I built.
He also clones old Jensens divinely.My Victoria Bassman and 1964 Fender Super Reverb are eventual recipients of his speaker magic.
Wish I could win the lotto-man,I hate waiting...
You can take a gander at his 8" models here:
