Bush may be a horses ass, but he did exactly what any sitting president would or could do in that situation, nothing more and nothing less. If you don't think AF-1 has fighter protection while in the air just try to get even a C-150 anywhere near that sucker. As others have posted, that horse has been beat to death. Why do people have to keep digging up the ol' mare and start whipping on her again?

4.3 ? 4.3 ??? My dog farts harder than that! Seriously, though, glad you're ok.

That earpiece keeps them alive. If you listen really close you can hear it: "Breathe in...breathe out. Breathe in....breathe out."

That's some good shootin' !

You've seriously never heard of Stephen Hawking? Yeah... seriously? He is only one of the world's foremost scientific minds and math gurus. Yeah seriously, never heard of him.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_hawking

You've seriously never heard of Stephen Hawking? Yeah... seriously? He is only one of the world's foremost scientific minds and math gurus. Fixed it for ya! His books are great, too. He has a natural way of taking a highly technical subject and explaining it in terms the average Joe can understand. Not too many can do that.

Are you sure this is where you lost your contact??

Buy it! Buy it!

I found that while surfing youtube the other day. I found it very enlightening, though hard to watch all the way through.

Ok, I wasted a bit of time myself figuring something along the same lines. At highway speeds the engine in my car is running at 3000 rpm (50 rev/sec). If I were given $1 for each revolution of the crankshaft it would take almost 32 years to accumulate as much money as Bill Gates has right now.

Shit! That is definitely going to leave a mark!

Night jumps + search lights = BAD!

Some people have way to much time on their hands.

But it's so simple anyone can do it at home! (Go ahead kids, try it... Mom won't care...she'll think it's funny!)

Please make sure the lid is tight on your jar of pasta sauce before shaking it. God what a mess.... At least I have a dog to help clean up.

Don't want to see vids of LPG tankers burning. My bro pulls one that carries 11,500 gal. I asked him if he's worried about an explosion. He said, "Nope! If anything happens I'll never know it." In my present situation I could actually get by very well with a solar/wind powered unit to produce hydrogen and compress it. Too bad it would cost a small fortune. An extra benefit of H2 vehicles is that they are many times more efficient at getting the energy from the fuel put to the ground than are internal combustion engines, meaning the total BTU content of the fuel carried can be many times less for the same range.

Ahhh...I see. In that case your impressions of the handling qualities fall in line with mine. Though our customers loved the toughness of the Fords, they almost all agreed that the on-road handling was the worst of the bunch. Of the 10% that didn't choose Fords, they almost all chose Chevy/GMC and those trucks were for sales people, supervisors, etc. that drove very little off-road so they wanted the best ride/handling they could get.

Yes, to get the same range as a traditional gas powered car the pressures would have to be very high. But for someone like myself who only drives 20 miles a day, the range provided by a smaller & lower pressured tank is sufficient. Trucks roll up and down our roads every day all over the country carrying cylinders of highly flammable gases. I can't recall ever hearing of one in which the cylinders blew up. Remember also that gasoline fumes create a big bang, then the liquid takes a long time to burn off. Hydrogen would burn off relatively quickly, in a matter of a few seconds. An episode of "Myth Busters" tested the theory of a bullet causing an oxygen bottle to explode. Though the tank was puntured and the gas escaped the tank did not explode despite their best efforts. My opinion remains that though the dangers are different, hydrogen can be stored on board just as safely as gasoline. Just for kicks...Remember where the gas tanks used to be in pickup trucks until the early 70's? I don't think Ralph Nader would let 'em get away with that now!

And that type of customer is only going to comprise a small fraction of the F-150 market. Small fraction? F-150? Our customers used F-250, F-350, F-450, + etc. No half ton truck of any brand would carry their loads and survive. Last I checked I was responding to the quality of the truck, not the quantity.

You distract the shark while I go for help.

If I were a law student i think I'd be more concerned about what would happen if she got busted while riding in your car. That could really mess up any career in the legal professions. If she is willing to do time for her pleasures, that's her choice. But don't let her mess up your future. Other than that you have made sure she knows the consequences so anything more you say about it to her will only piss her off. Not out of line to give her info, but would be to continually bring up the subject.

God only knows why! Horrific vehicle When I was in business our customers (quarries and explosives distributors) specified Ford trucks 90% of the time. They were the only trucks that could take the abuse that they put their trucks through. I think they would have a good argument against your labeling Ford trucks as "horrific".

What's this "TV" of which you speak?

If it were affordable I would convert my Focus to hydrogen fuel cell power. I have the advantage of living only 10 miles from Ohio State campus where I take classes, and they also have Ohio's first hydrogen refueling station. Storing hydrogen onboard is as safe as storing gasoline, just different dangers. One big problem is, and will continue to be, the cost of the fuel cells.

GM was the worlds top selling manufacturer until Toyota just surpassed them. They didn't hold the top spot for so long by making cars and trucks nobody wanted. Ford has been the top selling brand of truck for years. Just imagine how many they would have sold if people actually WANTED them!
