“...I never knew what Vader was doing with that fussy little knob, though...”

The second letter will simply state: “We’ve got photos. You shouldn’t skimp of the talcum powder like that.”

When they finally came for me, there was no one left to say anything. But that was okay, because I am Iron Man.

In addition to this, the escape system on a plane uses a series of pyrotechnically-driven mechanical shears that are meant to cut wiring harness, air lines and tubular pressure seals along the edges and hinges so the canopy and seat separate from the airplane in a reliable and predictable fashion.

Comes at a price, though. Most two-seater versions of what was originally a one-seat airplane will make room for the back seat by removing a fuel tank usually put in the fuselage behind the cockpit. This results in reduced range, obviously.

“Wait a sec— does ‘commit’ have two ‘M’s or two ‘T’s? I hate this.”

Someone whose last name matches the faculty building you’re working in.

There’s this documentary made in 1985 that features a 1955 experiment along similar lines. Though far more crude and risky in its implementation, it did generate a whopping 1.21 jigawatts of electricity.

In the P-38 handbook manual they deal with cold starts by diluting the oil with gasoline— basically you run the priming switch continuously for a minute in order to bleed raw fuel into the crankcase to thin the stuff out.

You know he’s going to take that brand-new golf simulator he installed in the White House when he goes, and I doubt it was paid for out of his own wallet.

Casually mention that you were born on Beale Air Force Base and the first airplane you ever saw happened to be the SR-71 Blackbird.

Sleight of hand and twist of fate. On a bed of nails she makes me wait.

Never underestimate the petty cruelty of a government agency.
