[ODE] Fixed joint no good idea?

[David McClurg]

If I don't create any contact joints on it, then other enabled bodies can't interact-with/bounce-off it.  When I first learned of disabled bodies, I intuitively thought the body would act as if it had a fixed joint with the world.  Instead, I don't really see the usefulness of disabled bodies.  Fixed joints seem to be the way to effectively disable a body.

So don't create any contact joints on it.
