  2. Caravan Otter Super otter Skyvan C-182 C-206 Porter Balloon Ummm...I think I got them all.
  3. I'm with ya on this one. Rigs don't complain when you want to spend the whole w/e at the dz either. It does get lonely during the week though. Kinda hard to have a good conversation with it and it doesn't care much about how your day went. Can't have it all though, right? Or can you?
  4. ...kicks ass! That's all I have to say about that.
  5. Well said my friend. My happiness lies at the bottom of the next bottle of beer. Who needs all this relationship b.s.??
  6. Because of this thread I spent my morning wandering my apartment complex looking for dog doo.
  7. Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants over 100%. How about achieving 103%? Here's a little math that might prove helpful. What makes life 100? If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 Then: H A R D W O R K 8 1 18 4 23 15 18 11 = 98% K N O W L E D G E 11 14 15 23 12 5 4 7 5 = 96% BUT, A T T I T U D E 1 20 20 9 20 21 4 5 = 100% AND, B U L L S H I T 2 21 12 12 19 8 9 20 = 103% So, it stands to reason that hard work and knowledge will get you close, Attitude will get you there, but Bullshit will put you over the top. And Look how far Ass kissing will take you. A S S K I S S I N G 1 19 19 11 9 19 19 9 14 7 = 127%
  8. I am going to order this video from headdown.net but it says that the VHS is in PAL format. Is this the right one that I need?? I never did know the differences.
  9. I with ya on the whole V-Day thing Holly. I have learned that there is no such thing as "love" as most people believe. Soul mates, fate, etc. It's all biochemical.
  10. Butterflies taste with their feet. A duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. In 10 minutes, a hurricane releases more energy than all of the world's nuclear weapons combined. On average, 100 people choke to death on ball-point pens every year. On average people fear spiders more than they do death. Ninety percent of New York City cabbies are recently arrived immigrants. Thirty-five percent of the people who use personal ads for dating are already married. Elephants are the only animals that can't jump. Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older. It's possible to lead a cow upstairs ... but not downstairs. Women blink nearly twice as much as men. It's physically impossible for you to lick your elbow. The Main Library at Indiana University sinks over an inch every year because when it was built, engineers failed to take into account the weight of all the books that would occupy the building. A snail can sleep for three years.. No word in the English language rhymes with "MONTH." Average life span of a major league baseball: 7 pitches. Our eyes are always the same size from birth, but our nose and ears never stop growing. SCARY!!! The electric chair was invented by a dentist. All polar bears are left-handed. In ancient Egypt, priests plucked EVERY hair from their bodies, including their eyebrows and eyelashes. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. TYPEWRITER is the longest word that can be made using the letters only on one row of the keyboard. "Go," is the shortest complete sentence in the English language.

  12. A Real Man's Chain Letter- This chain letter was started in hopes of bringing relief to other tired and discouraged men. Unlike most chain letters, this one doesn't cost anything! Just send a copy of this letter to five of your friends who are equally tired and discontented. Then bundle up your wife and/or girlfriend and send her to the man whose name appears at the top of the following list, and add your name to the bottom of the list. When your turn comes, you will receive 15,625 women. One of them is bound to be better than the one you already have. At the writing of this letter, a friend of mine has already received 184 women, of whom four were worth keeping. REMEMBER this chain brings luck. One man's pit bull died, and the next day he received a Playboy playmate. An unmarried Spanish man living with his widowed mother was able to choose between a Hooter's waitress and a Hollywood super model. You can be lucky too, but DO NOT BREAK THE CHAIN! One man broke the chain and got his wife back again. Let's keep it going, men! Just add your name to the bottom of the list below! Bill Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY 10017 Billy Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY 10017 Billie Clinton 780 3rd Ave New York, NY 10017 B.

  17. Interesting article... SEATTLE, Jan. 7 — Albert Einstein can rest a little easier in his grave: The first effort to measure how quickly gravity exerts its influence indicates that it more or less matches the speed of light, scientists reported Tuesday. If the results had come out differently, it would have cast new doubt on Einstein’s view of general relativity — and in fact, some doubters contend that the latest measurement by no means closes the case. THE MEASUREMENT, presented at this week’s meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Seattle, was made by analyzing how radio waves from a quasar nearly 9 billion light-years from Earth were bent as they passed through Jupiter’s gravitational field on Sept. 8. Scientists have known for decades that gravity bends waves of electromagnetic radiation: The phenomenon played a key role in the first test of general relativity during a 1919 solar eclipse. But it’s only been in the last few years that astronomers have worked on putting a number to the propagation speed of gravity’s effect. This speed is distinct from the much better-known rate of acceleration caused by gravity on Earth, which clocks in at 32 feet per second per second. The classic illustration of the problem goes this way: Imagine that the sun were somehow snuffed out of existence in the blink of an eye. Would there be an instant disruption in Earth’s orbit, sending it careening out of the doomed solar system, or would Earth continue to orbit a nonexistent star for eight minutes while the gravitational disturbance traveled 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) at the speed of light? “Newton thought that gravity’s force was instantaneous,” Sergei Kopeikin, a physicist at the University of Missouri at Columbia, said in an written announcement of the results. “Einstein assumed that it moved at the speed of light, but until now, no one had measured it.” Kopeikin’s partner in the research, Ed Fomalont of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, said the propagation speed was equal to the speed of light within an accuracy of 20 percent. That may sound like a wide error margin, but the researchers said they were pleased with the results. “Our main goal was to rule out an infinite speed of gravity, and we did even better,” Fomalont said in the announcement. “We now know that the speed of gravity is probably equal to the speed of light, and we can confidently exclude any speed for gravity that is over twice that of light.” If gravity does propagate even 20 percent faster than light, it would break a cosmic speed limit imposed by Einstein’s theories — and could hypothetically open the way to new methods of faster-than-light communication (hopefully on a smaller scale than snuffing out the sun). HOW IT WAS DONE The experiment was conducted by carefully charting how the light of the quasar, J0842+1835, was distorted in the night sky as Jupiter passed through the field of view. In 1999, Kopeikin laid out what Einstein’s theory should predict about the pattern of distortion — then found that September’s “once-in-a-decade” alignment should allow for a test of the theory. He turned to Fomalont, who enlisted the aid of the National Science Foundation’s Very Long Baseline Array, a continent-wide network of radio telescopes. A 330-foot (100-meter) radio telescope in Effelsberg, Germany, was added to the network to increase the accuracy of September’s observations. “We had to make a measurement with about three times more accuracy than anyone had ever done, but we knew in principle that it could be done,” Fomalont said. Sunspot activity during the observations gave the researchers some cause for concern, but in the end, the data achieved a precision equal to the width of a human hair seen from 250 miles (400 kilometers) away, the researchers said. WHAT IT ALL MEANS Kopeikin said the observation sheds light on one of the last unsettled fundamental constants of physics — and could play a role in the continuing quest to develop a "theory of everything” that unites gravitational theory and quantum mechanics. “Our measurement puts some strong limits on the theories that propose extra dimensions, such as superstring theory and brane theories,” he said. “Knowing the speed of gravity can provide an important test of the existence and compactness of these extra dimensions.” However, not all physicists are convinced that the results truly measured the propagation speed. In Astrophysical Journal Letters, Japanese physicist Hideki Asada argued that the experiment actually measured the speed of light rather than the speed of gravity — and that previous experiments have already provided confirmation for Einstein’s view of how gravity propagates. Astronomer Thomas Van Flandern, who has built up a following for his views outside the scientific mainstream, said in a September commentary that the experiment may have measured the speed of gravitational waves, but “can provide no information about the propagation speed of gravitational force, which is bounded by many experiments to be much faster than light.” On Tuesday, Van Flandern told MSNBC.com in an e-mail that Kopeikin may have revised the theoretical basis for the experiment’s results, and that the findings “no longer represent what his own experiment showed, much less the speed of gravity.”

    EEEEhaawww

    Congrats Luis! Now you just gotta wait for your main, right?
  20. I don't agree with it either Holly. Especially for what she is going to use it for. But hell, what do I know??
