  1. A very telling passage: Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  2. I disagree Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . . It doesn't say anything about the government not showing preference of one religion over another, it states the government will not make laws respecting any establishment of religion. Giving voucher money to a church run school seems to be respecting an establishment of religion, no matter how many different religions are represented. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  3. I'm confident your claims are every bit as credible as these claims were: http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/shell.asp http://www.snopes.com/politics/military/marathon.asp http://www.snopes.com/rumors/budweiser.asp Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  4. Apparently, only certain types (petro based) of plastic bags have been prohibited. (Bio-)Plastic bags that are typical in any grocery store I have been in during the past 15+ years are not part of the ban. From the linked article: Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

  5. That's exactly how the smart money would be bet. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  6. I doubt I could fit in the clothes Drew was wearing. I suspect his young age played a role in his survival. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  7. It sounds like weight distribution, speed, tire size, tire pressure, tread design, ground contour, lack of body rigidity, and body position all "worked" together (along with other possible physical conditions of the system) to result in no injuries to Drew, thankfully. I've no doubt that if all of the above were meticulously recorded, a capable physicist could show that the forces produced were in fact survivable, just as the experimental evidence showed.

  8. I have. Of course people on SC said it wasn't a miracle even though they could offer no reasonable explanation. Please, refresh our memories. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  9. I heard W wanted to give each of the war heroes a Nobel Prize. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  10. There was no confusion with me. Nor did I miss your point. However, seeing how I offered a strategical reason why Bush should not be impeached, and that impeachment proceedings are not typically brought forth with intent to fail, your response was not really applicable.

  11. I thought it was a waste of time and money, myself. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  12. That is a fair point. My original point was that impeaching Bush, while I may feel he deserves it, may not be best for the nation. Congress checking Executive power might be a better option. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  13. OK, so name some big, non-182 DZ's that are huge and successful. If a group member is willing to take that on their shoulders, they're fucking stupid. If you had an incident and hurt someone, even yourself, what a better case of gross negligence than that. See, at a USPA DZ, we all assume that the other jumoers are also USPA, so if a nonn-USPAer sneaks in then teh DZ's ass is in a hook. I'm not touching that one Maybe shitholes, but premier DZ's like Perris would turn you away. Let's just say that since I've lived in Florida, I've never felt a need to renew my USPA membership. I've jumped at a few DZs that many would consider premier, without that renewal. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  14. Sure! Cheney's a sick man; he's going to die soon. He's not going to run anyway, no matter what. He's already the power behind the throne, so maybe the added pressure of being the actual President might make him code sooner. And you know who's next in line. Pelosi would only become president if both the President and the VP were unable to hold the high office. A VP vacancy doesn't automatically go to the Speaker of the House. Whoever is appointed VP becomes the President, should the President not be able to fulfill the responsibilities of office. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  15. Agnew was not VP when Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment, Ford was. Ford did become president when Nixon resigned. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  16. The overwhelming majority of my jumps were either made without USPA membership, at a group member dropzone (that was fully aware that I was not a USPA member), or with USPA membership at a non-group member dropzone. I'm a member when I have to be, which is rarely. It has been my experience that it is not difficult to find a dropzone that will allow non-USPA members to jump. Consequently, I suspect a revoked (individual) membership would have minimal consequences on one's ability to skydive. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

  18. In the US (and abroad?), automobile tires are measured in a combination of metric and standard units. For example: 235 x 75 R15 indicates a radial tire with a tread width of 235 millimeters, a sidewall height 75% of the tread width, made to fit on a 15 inch diameter wheel. Math tutoring available.

  19. The USPA has no means of enforcement. All they can do is revoke your membership, which is of little to no consequence. On the other hand, if a FAR violation is punished, the repercussions can be serious. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  20. Sounds a bit like Graph Theory. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  21. Would you rather Cheney hold the top office, allowing him the opportunity to campaign as an incumbent up to two times? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  22. Or just point out the gold fringe on the flag. Gold fringe? Is there a ref I'm missing? It would appear so. Do a search! Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
  23. I do not believe this to be true. I see BSRs and group member "rules" bent and broken often with little or no consequence. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!
