It is my impression that the reason why the bung hole on a barrel is placed so far from the edge is because when the barrel is drained of its contents, the sediment stays in the barrel as waste. I heard there was a design specification as where the bung is supposed to be placed. Although I have not seen the specification sheet, there has to be one.....I presume that idea was for the gravity draining wine barrels, etc. But it now is a industry standard. All barrels seem to have the same distance from the bung hole to the edge of the barrel. It even applies to the 5 gallon bucket of Brenkert oil I use as a telephone desk for my red telephone. I know...I have too much time on my hands.

Pete,This is what happens when you lock some poor sod alone in a small dark room and subject him (or her) to years of exposure to:
- Various levels of EMF at AC, audio, and RF frequencies.
- Various levels of flickering broadband visual stimuli peaking at 24 and 48 Hz (the lucky ones get 72 Hz, the unlucky ones get 25/30 or 50/60).
- Various levels of broadband auditory stimuli of the pink or white persuasion peaking at 24, 48, and occasionally 96 Hz.
- Various levels of recorded dialog, repeated ad infinitum until the subject can recite said dialog, even years after exposure ceases.
- Various levels of ozone (the lucky ones get a wiff of carbon soot) combined with the smell of popcorn oil and/or hot dogs (the good ones get a wiff of FilmGuard as well).
- Various quantities of triacetate, polyester, emulsion (the lucky ones get IB-process dyes), various lubricants and toxic cleaning solutions.
- Various quantities of carbonated beverages, nitrated meats (for the lucky ones), and various corn-based foodstuffs fried in various oils.
- Various restraining devices, like straps and clamps, or bungs.
- Various sharp instruments.
After a while some people become adapted to such an environment. Some become so accomodated that they exhibit signs of neurosis when removed from such an environment. Fortunately for such folks there is no known cure. Might as well let them stay in their little dark rooms, where they can be happy with their lot in life and a good fast internet connection. Cheers!
