I just wanted to chime in as another who begged for one, and was sad because I NEVER found another person to communicate with.

I was surprised to hear that Titan was the only other body in our solar system to have standing liquid... I remembered hearing about Venus's sulfuric acid rain. I just read that the rain on Venus never reaches the surface but evaporates back into the atmosphere before reaching the surface due to the extreme…

Because the ship in the article is not the Emma Maersk, it is called the Prelude. The ship in the article is 100 ft longer than the "Seawise Giant" - this graphic was to help the original commented compare it to the size of an American aircraft carrier (at the bottom)

I think it depends what the password is for, for things I need to have a password for but don't care about someone else gaining access to? 12345678. For my bank account - long, cryptic, and difficult.

Isn't that the difference between a barge and a ship - one is powered, one is not?

30 Meters Longer (98.5ft)

I like the extended version:

But, there was only 140 lbs. to spread around, not the 360,000lbs of material contained in reactor 4. While we can argue exact figures, the point is still valid.

Hiroshima and Chernobyl are VERY different types of disasters, when the bomb went off a good amount of the nuclear fuel (140 lbs) was used up in the explosion, the rest distributed over a large area. Chernobyl just spewed tons of bad stuff all over what was downwind (there was 180 tons in the reactor, I don't think…

The Traveler's Insurance tower in Hartford, CT has a bright white beacon that they still light at night, it was installed as a beacon to guide US Mail aircraft as well - but it is not shown on the maps in the article.

The source article states:

Then the wheels would spin faster on touchdown

Family members are pilots who have flown Tilt Rotors and Helicopters. They do have a fundamental flaw - due to the two engines side by side it will react to the air vortexes very strangely at low altitude. This can cause the aircraft to go into a very rapid roll that is unrecoverable - it is an aerodynamic issue that…

Didn't they remove the hearts and other organs and place them in jars before they wrapped the body and put it in the Sarcophagus as part of the normal procedure?

BPs oil head from the Deepwater Spill was at 15,000PSI - this plug is rated at 17PSI... I think if plugging the spill was as simple as a balloon it would have been done.

"Hallway Sports" (a Nerf football) activated a sprinkler head in my dorm when I was in college. It happened on the 3rd floor, destroyed tons of peoples belongings on the 2nd and 3rd floors from clothes and textbooks to electronics. The building was concrete and absorbed a lot of water... we were not allowed back in…

Don't overlook the loss of NJ another state with a bad rap. (armpit of the USA, why did they build tunnels to NJ from NY - so no one sees you going there, Jersey Shore, etc)
