There was a Tomcat pilot who liked to take discarded M-61 cannon barrels, weld a homemade breech on them, and take them out to the desert to fire various projectiles in his not-really-legal-or-smart 20mm rifle.

Tell you what. Next time you feel like blowing a couple bucks, send them to me. I offer a 1:1,000,000 chance that you'll ever get anything back.

I've been using it on O-ring motorcycle chains for 25 years. Since they are internally lubricated, all the WD-40 does is cut through and float away the surface grime and lubricate the O-rings.

Not many know that, in addition to her beautiful voice, Karen Carpenter was a gifted, seemingly-effortless, truly musical drummer.

When will it be ready on my Motorola Xoom tablet, one of the first Android tablets (and a "pure Google" one, at that) and one of the first to get ICS? Stunning that it is still not available.

You could remove all other functions of a progress bar if you could give me a definitive, trustworthy digital answer: Your task is progressing. OR. Your task has permanently frozen.

Well, when your argument deteriorates to a disbelief that law enforcement ever plants evidence and a straw man argument, I really shouldn't bother rebutting you. But, hell, why not?

Yes, you are correct; they arrested him. Arrest is not the same thing as conviction in court.

"since the contents had [ALLEGEDLY] already been seen"

We have a saying: "You can only tie the low altitude record."

I'd like to clarify some differences between "standard" rifles and "assault" rifles.

And that was in good weather, with a steady deck, although the electrical failure at a mile and a half came at an inopportune time and added to the excitement.

I beg to differ.

Poor little guy. Probably kept up with you for a mile or so.

Along the same lines, if your pan's seasoning has become spotty or scrached and you want to start over from unseasoned, place the pan in the oven before initiating a self-cleaning cycle. The very high temperature will turn the current coating to ash, and you will be left with a clean, light grey pan to season again.

This is why I always carry a bomb when I fly, because what are the odds of TWO people on a plane, both with bombs...

Why not use ANY bag and an "S" hook to hang from the shower head, shower rod, or faucet handle? Total cost is under a buck, and it won't pop off and send a 48 oz. conditioner bottle directly on to your toe.

You are correct. I was not considering space-based weapons; we all know that meteors streak through the atmosphere at supersonic speeds (shooting stars) and, if big enough, can impact the ground carrying those velocities. Although, I wonder about any space-based kinetic weapon's ability to withstand reentry yet…

Interesting. I based my statement on my knowledge of our Mk-84 2,000 pound bombs, which we dropped at 600 knots (KIAS) in 60 degree dives from around 25,000 feet. Firstly, to get that much speed on them, we would throttle the jet UP in the dive, adding energy the whole time. Second, they would decelerate once off…
