Do men & women have different internal thermostats?
champu replied to SpeedRacer's topic in The Bonfire
Does your office have windows? you do realize it's incredibly awesome outside at all times right? -
Without cheating, how many posts do you think you have?

The biggest downside to joining a sorority is you will then be in a sorority.

With today's computers, fly-by-wire, and dynamic control systems... if you can get it going fast enough to produce lift, it can be made to fly.

More Like the Moon! Maybe I just haven't listened to A.M. enough to get into it. I'll have to pick up Being There next time I'm thumbing around the record store.

It's a hollywood-ified version of the "switchblade" (Northrop Grumman) aircraft. These photos have been floating around the company for a while now. I always though the most obvious problem with the photos is the US Air Force markings on a plane that's sitting on the deck of an aircraft carrier...

Saturday? Manic. Sunday? Manic. Monday? Depressed. (sorry, no clever song allusion) ... Friday? well that depends on whether you ditch work/school.

or you could use this method... My point is, reaction times aren't perfect. All the LEO can really say is "it took around 4 and a half seconds to go a quarter mile" so... 200ish ± 15mph

VASCAR is a great idea and all that... but some guy with his thumb on a stopwatch over a quarter-mile can't provide much meaningful resolution at those speeds. 4.39 seconds? 5 seconds is 180mph, 4 seconds is 225mph

Happy... Birthday.... ...An hour ago-shit

I'm in Redondo, if you're heading to PV to do some lobbing, let me know. I have a few good chuckin' spots in mind *crash*crash*crash* ... *splash*

Will and Grace, Darma and Greg, According to Jim, Malcom in the Middle, King of Queens.... I could go on, there's a lot of shitty TV these days. /edited to add: yeah murphy brown was terrible as well, and oh dear god The Nanny

You know for several years my dad and I would trim our African gray's beak/talons/wings ourselves. We'd use the towel method, my dad would hold the bird, and I would check everything and do the trimming. This was fine until she developed a signifigant vocabulary and would start pleading with us. I'd hold her foot and just as the clippers touched the claw she'd exclaim, "Ryan... I'm your sweetheart girl!" I couldn't take it, we had to start bringing them to the vet to have it done.

Sign me up for Australia. It's an attractive place for Americans to visit, because it's far away, it's different, and yet we don't have to learn an entirely new language I think my company has people go to Australia on occasion, maybe someday I can get in on that.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but that assignment is inane.

rubs chin... next weekend you say... anyone else in the LA area feel like spending 5 hours in a car with me next weekend?

If you own one Wilco album: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot if you own two: Summerteeth A Ghost is Born (the new one) and A.M. (the old one) I could take or leave. I haven't heard Being There yet... Also, Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out

I've seen each of the three movies once. I watched the first two during the day then saw return of the king that night in the theater.

If any guys had a say in this I'd be surprised.

I generally use the slouched back left hand at 7' position (where the left spoke on my steering wheel is) occasionally when I'm on the highway in the left lane with k-rails right on the edge of the lane I'll bring in the right hand at 2'.

Too late, someone already made an Apple computer... whoa! be careful with that joke, it's an antique.

Spring loaded? you could probably recreate this by backsliding your ass off and then dumping. -
Decible levels in freefall? In the aircraft?
champu replied to Deuce's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
The only way to get useful information in freefall (with regards to hearing damage) would be to use a small probe tube inserted into the ear canal fed to an spl meter that you could then stick wherever. The SPL at your ear drum might be wildly different from what you would measure at your waist. Particularly if you don't have a helmet on. -
Inventing a very complicated, useless piece of crap.
