The idea was that a 747-sized aircraft would section itself off, and all sections would float gently to the earth. Here are the problems they came up with (just the ones I can remember just off the top of my head), and I won't even mention the ones that have to do with money: 1) the...

Oh, and Bush sucks!

No matter what you paid for your vehicle, don't you want to try to save a little money at the pumps? Just because I paid $X for my house, doesn't mean I want to get gouged buying furniture for it! I saw some RETARD driving a big red, 10 foot tall tricked-out Dodge Ram pickup on 81N in NC...

That's cool stuff. Some guy in Canada (go figure) tried to patent a plan to make large passenger planes (like the new 7E7 and Airbuses) compartmentalized so that in an emergency, they can break apart and float down to the ground softly with chutes. The rest of the world thinks he nuts...

Where are the measurements in the other 99% of the atmosphere?

We must? Aren't there any situations--hypothetically speaking--where a nation would be better off cutting its losses? Just food for thought. Rummy said it wasn't spiralling out of control. I'd like to ask him, "What metrics are you using to determine that, and what would it take for you to say...

Ummmm... ***?

Webster's defines hypocracy as... I got news for you. It is NOT going quite well. The Secretary of Defense, the commanders of the armed forces, and the CIA can't agree on most things strategy wise, we move farther from the goal of "creating a democratic Iraq" (which was the goal after...

I would have to take issue with this statement. There is no way a western power will ever break the relgious madness in the middle east. All we can do is let the economic situation encourage them to reform themselves. We've been promoting their behavior by supporting them... propping them up...

Well-thought out? The secretary of defense and the commanders of the armed forces fought at every turn about plans, etc. It could have been worse, but it wasn't the planning that saved us. it was the fact that we had cruise missles and they don't. One day (hopefully in the far-flung future)...

I'll tell you what I think. I think that country is chock full of thugs, animals, mindless religious zealots. What we did was take a minority group of these scum out of power, and created a power vaccuum where the rest of the scum can form their own brutal mini-regimes to take its place. We...

Thanks for the input. See, what bugs me is that if someone read their manual, and got exactly what the manual said (75W-90) from the store--like Mobil 1 Synth, then they could still have problems. There needs to be more info!!!

I've got a relatively new WRX (3800mi) that I put synthetic in at 1600mi (the Mobil 1 still looks yellow when I check the oil). The engine is quiet enough, but the chatter and vibration in the tranny is really starting to annoy. I want to go with Mobil 1 75W-90 in the manual/front dif and in the...

Umm, it's called "Dexter's Laboratory" for a reason And he had made all kinds of mechanized pets/lackies over the years!

Let's see... Amonium nitrate + Islam = bombs. Amonium nitrate also has a positive use, which is to grow food for the hungry. Islam has... none that I can think of. Soooo... why are we getting rid of the fertilizer? (this is of course after we got rid of McVeigh)
