Can't wait for Gambit!

False, But I did see a fight where one person jumped on another persons back in High School, but he failed to see the sharpened pencil sticking up out of the other kids pocket. He went straight to the ground and they called the Ambalance. ------------------------------------------------------------ The person below me is a Trek Fan.

Awesome. Must have had one creative mind to dream that thing up....However, isn't their a similar piece that was recovered from the Mediterrainian that is thought to be a Calculator designed by Archimedies? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism

Not quite the Great Santini, but he was left with two bad decisions.

They are paying him to leave the company......it's the new SIGN OFF Bonus. M

To quote the guy whos showed the pics: "Basically, the nose landing gear wouldn't come down. Fortunately the Harrier has a 'backup' system that uses a nitrogen bottle to blow the gear down in this event. Unfortunately the pilots "boss" ordered him not to blow the gear down (which is the specified emergency procedure) because (by the bosses reasoning) if the nose landing gear still didn't come down, there was a risk that the aircraft would break its back by having all that weight on the long nose of the aircraft. The boss, apparently having jumped on a lot of beds as a kid, arranged for a pile of bed mattresses to be collected and strapped down to support the extended nose of the aircraft, and the pilot then landed on the mattresses. 'Normally' a Harrier that cannot get it's gear to come down will select U/C up and do a vertical landing on the strakes/gun pack, they'll jack the aircraft up, fix the landing gear, and it's back to flying rather quickly. In this case, the jet engine sucked in some of the mattresses and was trashed by mattress springs and everything else being sucked in. This has since become a legendary event in the Harrier community (rather small community) and is laughed about often. The best part was, when they jacked the aircraft up in the hangar and pulled the gear handle to blow them down, all 4 came down and locked in place Always trust your emergency equipment...its there for a reason.

If Benjamin Franklin only had his way....this would be the national bird.

Have you checked the bottom of the page?

If Quarters, Up and Down the River, and Threeman is a sport....yes. The person below me once met David Hasslehof at one of his concerts.

I could have just limited the posts per page to 2 hehe....

OK....it's now at the bottom of the page. Not perfect...but it's there. I would like to move it up a couple notches...but I'll keep working at it. M

Some very small artwork. http://www.maniacworld.com/art-in-the-eye-of-a-needle.html

I think this may very well be possible. I will research the code required and speak to the IPB Gods and we'll see what can be done.

False. I have reached 58,000 Feet in a Lear 25. You can see the curvature of the earth from there. We went there to test the Engines Fuel Controller that I just installed. We did an emergency decent from 50,000 to 26,000 in a matter of a minute and basically become a small vomit comet. One of the best rides I've ever been on. ------------------- The Person below me loves the Blue Man group
