I can’t find my torque wrench, but I’m not sure it really matters since the various sources I read say the nut needs to be tightened to 7, 13, 17 and 36 lbs.

I’d go with 36. Those others sound odd.

If I’d had a baby boy, I would’ve named him “Torque”. Torque sound like a lifeguard who moonlights as a chop-shop mechanic. Or maybe plays the ax in a thrash band that practices in a Harley garage.

One of the burrs under my belt is that girls are constantly stealing the boys’ names. First it was the trousers (which I don’t have a problem with at all, by the way, and am not implying anything about girls in dresses), but then they started tearing into the list of names, which was just taking things too far! Come on, I even noticed the other day that there’s a woman character on TV going by the name of Chuck! Chuck? I rest my case.
But the world is what it is, so I see no reason why you can’t go ahead and rename your daughter Torque. Sure it sounds like a boy’s name, but little matter.
You know what? I bet ‘mouse’s missing torque wrench was actually stolen by one of the girl’s in his house. Time may prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

Being a big fan of the show of which you speak, Keith, I feel I must defend the use of “Chuck” for that woman character. Chuck’s full name is Charlotte Charles. If ever there were a character who fairly begged to be called Chuck, it would be, erm, Chuck.
That said, I recognize that a) it’s not entirely fair that girls may be named Elliott and no one will blink an eye, but try naming a boy Evelyn these days and you can practically taste the world of hurt he will encounter; and b) I deeply, utterly, sincerely and completely believe that Pam should rename her daughter Torque.

Well, I hope she’s at least keeping up with Perry Mason. It’s the best place to learn how to break a witness.

True ‘nuff, e, but remember, last year I was unemployed. ;)

Are you sure Sarah Palin doesn’t already have a son name Torque? He must be hiding behind the pregnant one…

Oh, shoot, I think she does. Don’t I remember there being a Torque Scalper Palin? So that’s out.
