    I had a friend of mine buy some real super saver aa batteries once from a dollar store. They lasted for just over one song per battery. If this is the same lot, you should get to listen to about 2 hours worth of beeping from the MD. (from all 32 batteries)

    Maybe Walgreen's uses a better supplier...

    Ohhh~ somebody's got a Florida sailing blog going on...   www.southerncrosses.com

    That was a youtube prank. Many folks I know opened them up to find four large 1.5 volt batteries. I think many of 6v batteries gave up their lives to that one........

    What are you trying to say If it was on the internet it must be true. Next thing you are going to tell me is that I can't really make a fortune working from home only 2 hours a week.
