I'm still looking for a benchmark that is not amazingly uninformative
and crappy.  I've been looking around all day, I even looked under the
bed, I cannot find it.  I've also been looking around all day as well,
even looked for it shooting out of the Iceland geysirs, of all
places--it's always all day out here it seems, day and day-- and I
still can't find it.  (In the process however, I found Thule beer and
strangely dressed vikings, which makes it all worthwhile.)

cheers,
