Past President sent me this link to an NPR story on what makes whips crack. I wasn't aware that this was a new discovery, but perhaps NPR had run through interviewing every available Democratic Senator about their concerns regarding taking action to neutralize Saddam Hussein and had to fill some airtime. The article includes links to the Bullwhip Page and to Whip Enthusiasts. I love how the Fort Lauderdale group invites folks to attend church services prior to the cracking session. My kinda kinksters!
