  1. Please define this ridiculous term. Bonus points if you can find it in a physics or engineering textbook. Shock-load is a term that doesn't really add any additional meaning to the word "load". It just refers to a large load resulting from the lack of energy-absorbing elasticity in the system.
  2. I would be willing to bet that if you went to the trouble to set up a test system, you wouldn't be able to measure any significant difference in impact force.
  3. Knotzen!!!!!
  4. I was just thinking it's about time for a Pub Club. I can make it.
  5. He's a much better diplomat than W.
  6. It's pretty ungrateful that while you are maintaining the trails they use and rounding up their horses, the packers are dissing you all the while. Sounds like you had a great time.
  7. I have a good crop of hops on the vine right now. You can have it all, if you want it.
  8. I had to study the relative sizes before I could see the answer. Now that I have, I think I'd like to buy one.
  9. As I've said before, if I worked at Burger King, it wouldn't be difficult to find a job close to my home of 16 years with its greenhouse full of orchids and mature fruit trees, but since I am a research chemist I must deal with a commute. It's the way it is.
  10. I think the main reason is the #2 covers the entire range of both Camalots #0.75 and #1 and even starts to get into #2 territory. That's the meat and potatoes size of any rack.
  11. I would have said exactly the same thing as Slothrop, but he beat me to it.
  12. Can you explain exactly why the #2 is so much more useful than the #1?
  13. U R just jealous.
  14. How many of you can say you've won the UK Lottery three times in one week? I know because I've been informed by e-mail. It's amazing luck, considering I don't remember even entering. You gotta just take what providence sends your way.
  15. You should keep that leg elevated as much as you possibly can. No standing around on it. Apply hot compresses to promote circulation.
  16. There's some threads that needs killin'.
  17. The palms aren't native anyway. They were brought in by the yuppies in the first place.
  18. Catapult isn't that hard, but Damnation sure is!
  19. Blake got it.
  20. Attention is the next best thing, isn't it?
  21. I do a lot more bailing than I do baling, as I have hay fever more often than I have hay.
  22. Yeah, but so is the South Face of Jello Tower.
  23. I'll be damned. That's quite a forecast. Soon we'll have to go outside to collect buckets of air.
  24. Bailing wire is what is holding up the tail pipe of my Acura.
