Doing my work for me. Thanks.

It's counterintuitive, but it's elasticity that gives it strength. If it were truly rigid it would snap in two. The same goes for airplane wings.

Michael, how old are you?

The Syrian rebels are already doing this sort of thing, and it's a DIY project. There is a whole series of photos at The Atlantic showing the DIY weapons they are using. It's pretty impressive.

It is. At least 20 years. I was going to post it myself. Oh look! Another BMW!

De rien.

Mercedes' customer teams all have the same advantage. However, because McLaren, Williams and Force India only took delivery of their power units relatively recently, they have had less time to work the layout into their respective car designs.

No McLarens were harmed in the making of this movie.

Isaac Newton is still right, even in Aggieland.

I was plane spotting outside of Dyess AFB a couple of years ago, and for some reason, they had a visiting USMC EA-6B that was taking off. It was a couple hundred yards from me as it spooled up, and it was probably the loudest jet I've ever heard. Definitely a unique sound.

I'm guessing something like this:

Question: "Bill Cosby's license plate."

This was the scene back in 2011 when DC drove his Red Bull around Austin to promote the upcoming USGP. Here one of the RB techs explains the wheel to a DPS trooper providing security at the event. Those wheels have come a long way even in the past 3 or 4 years.

I realized that after posting. Kinja wouldn't let me edit. Shows you just how strong those blades are.

Somewhere in one of my WWII history books is a picture of Russian trucks parked for the night in winter. Each truck has a log fire burning under the engine to keep it warm enough to start in the morning.

The video of the F-16 over Afghanistan reminded me of the first time I had sex.

Gotta include this classic.

I'm reminded of the infamous Ford Pinto memo, in which Ford execs were told that fixing the Pinto would cost $137 m, while paying for dead and injured people would only cost $50 m. That's a slam dunk analysis for the execs. Why would you put this sort of thing in writing? Those who don't learn from history....
