The picture on the left under 'Recession, What recession?' is actually of an automated rubber-tired mass transit system, the Nippori-Toneri liner. It's extremely shiny and its stations and concrete pillars are just massive.
Apparently it was only to replace a bus line (on the street below), but everyone I know who uses it is grateful. I suppose there's worse places to build. (Ask Alex Kerr)

56 yearsa go when I was an M.P. in Japan, I was escorting a small convoy when we were detained by highway work. There was a group of workers mixing cement in the forms for a highway with a small engine, a flex shaft drive and a propeller on the end.

Number 9 is an urban legend. The actual error was in transcribing an overbar in an equation that caused the rocket guidance failure. It was a simple omission of a specific equation. The same omission almost caused the failure of the Ranger 5 launch as well, but they caught it in time and fixed it.
Too bad Ranger 5 failed for other reasons...

If that is an urban myth, then NASA itself believes in it (and FWIW it wasn't a comma, it was a missing hyphen that caused the equation to be wrong/missing).

Marvel has published at least one more book that used human remains - specifically, using the cremated ashes of one of Marvel's more respected writers and editors, Mark Gruenwald.

Being made into a book - what a fantastic thought! I cant think of a better post-death fate (though hey - i am a writer). Just imagine it - instead of a dreary old lump of gray tombstone, an actual book with stories that people can read. Fantastic. I wonder if it is possible (legally i mean) to do that these days?

So many of these are way too symmetrical to just be naturally caused "holes in the clouds" (eg. the long rectangular one with rounded off corners). More than likely some of these are recharge points for cloaked UFO's. Which gives a whole new significance to these pics.

i live near philly and have seen these holes in the clouds twice, once over springfield (two pretty close to eachother) and once over the limerick area (near reading). when i looked it up last year (i saw the second instance a couple of weeks ago), a woman further north in PA had taken a few photos from near her.
this could be "flying discs," or maybe its something from earth "shooting" up, or something from space "shooting" down. perhaps reconnaissance satellites which can punch a hole in clouds so as to see what is below?
or it could be the result of natural plasma-discharge phemonomea (norway spiral), which is probably the worst-case possibility
i don't know what they are but for those who think they are "natural" or "normal". . . nothing i can say to you
this is either natural electric phenomena (but probably not a good sign if it is), or tech-made.
not gonna give you links - if you're too lazy or self-content to look this stuff up then. . . move along, nothing to see here. . .

The hole punch clouds are Sylphs. Anybody interested and with an open mind should look up ChemBusters or "Cloudbusters" by Don Croft. If you believe in Angels then your visual confirmation is the Sylph in the sky. The 2 lines ARE Contrails and whoever the tard is that says its a "conspiracy theory" obviously doesn't look up into the sky once in a while. They are laid down several times a day in all highly populated areas. :)

"True to the name, this movement sings jazzy paens to convoluted and impressive tangles of pipes, chambers, pistons, and has the mighty horse-power in the center of it all."
No. That is incorrect. With a diesel motor, Torque is much more important than horse-power.
Read more
-
Shouldn't it be Red Alert 3 rather than 2 ?
Read more
-
@ owr084
Horsepower is a number derived from measured torque.
The formula is: HP = (RPM × Torque) ÷ 5252
(Anytime you see a graph showing an engine's horsepower and torque curves you'll notice they cross at 5'252 RPM)
As a result, engines that redline below 5'252 will make higher torque figures than HP and vice versa.
As diesel engines typically don't rev very high, they make much higher torque figures than horsepower.

Well, guys, you convinced me about superiority of the mighty Torque in this case. Updated.

Thank you for that link to "Black Light - a new source of energy".
It was possibly the most amusing piece of nonsense that I've read all year.
Ya, Black Light is a known scam that's been around for a while.
The Black Light people say their energy-producing material was tested by academic researchers. Sounds good, eh?
I found these two facts:
[1] The material gives off energy only for a short while, then it can't be used again.
[2] Before the test, the Black Light people take the material and do something to it - but they won't say what.
Now, that's funny!
