Geez, Chris....from your profile - "...Being raised in NY, I can sometimes be perceived as insulting. I would never intentionally hurt someone. If I do, I was misunderstood and I probably engaged my mouth before my brain...." I guess you weren't kidding were you?My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Lostinspace 0 #68 November 26, 2004 Went to Mexico for 2 weeks without any luggage Played the violin in Prince Albert’s hall Gave several DNA samples for a study on the ability to differentiate terrible decompose siblings Drank beer out of a warm prosthetic leg. Rent numerous cars, tested components in them, and replace them out with “Suspect” components to see if my company need to voluntarily disclose any this to several large automotive manufactures, trying to prevent being charged for recalls. You get some funny looks when you are driving down the highway, and there are wires coming out from under the hood and into the car window. (and returned the car with new components, so there would be 1 less failure to wirry about) Got to watch a bird shoot test on a jet engine. Then had to have my boss watch the bathroom door as there were no women's restroom in the facility. Been in the clean rooms where satellites are built and shipped and the satellite launch control room. Got to sample a “flavoring” that was made just like pop rocks, but it was intended for dinner foods. “Corn with POPPING Mexican flavor.” Ate something else at the same place and … excreted “Cookie Monster” blue for 2 days (I am not kidding.). (Strang and intersting fact .. Bat man ceral was origrally going to be black, but the kids would not eat it after the milk turned grey from the ceral) Lived in Alaska for 8 years, got to stay home one day because there was a moose in the back yard and my parents let me watch it until the authorities came Was taught "How Jet Engine Work" by Pratt and Whiteny. Work with many engineers who worked on the engines for the SR-71, and got to talk with them about the machine. Got to watch (PWA F-119-100) engine's 4-8 be manufactured (and 1 test) for the F-22/JSF. Had a job where i was "hazed", by being forced to only use a slide rule ... I twice went 14 days with out eating. I went 2.5 year with out eating meat, and over a year with out eatin dairy either. Assembled most of one HPT for a PWA F-100-229 that went into a F-16. Drank instant coffee at a roadside stand "somewhere" in mexico, south of AguasCalientes ... to get the smell of the rotting pig we saw about 40km back to get the taste out of my mouth. Got to watch a test for one of the first composite Helicoptor rotor hubs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 2,117 #74 November 26, 2004 Flown a small plane from E to W coast and from Gulf to Canadian border of the USA. Had dinner with Edward "H-bomb" Teller and (different occasion) with James "DNA" Watson. Been catapulted off both USS Eisenhower and USS Carl Vinson....
