Actually, I was talking about mechanical shock, which is an extremely rapid 
acceleration or deceleration. In another definition, it is also a variant of 
impact (force delivered over time as time goes to zero). Also  you can think 
of it as the first derivative of acceleration (change in acceleration with 
time) or third derivative of position (d^3X/dT^2), which is truly defined 
(and GOD it pains me to type this) as a "jerk".

Let the pigeons loose,
Ron
