I'm sorry; I just don't extrapolate gay marriage into marrying one's pets.


Kiki! Don't listen! Of course that engagement ring is for real! We'll
make them change the laws! A man has a right to marry a Gerbil! If not
today....then tomorrow! Never again shall anyone have to disguise the
love that dares not squeak its name!

And, I'm done with you. I have sleep to get, prior to a trip to Philly

Fine, when in doubt, get the last word in and run away. How morally and
intellectually bankrupt of you.

This IS rich ! Now, you demand that *I live my life* to your
" qualifications "....

No one is demanding that you do anything. You are exhibiting an
inability to understand what they are saying, and when they grow tired
of explaining without any signs of comprehension from the other side,
they stop.

Nope, I've never gotten around to reading any of his work, and probably
won't either...


I read about one page of the above work; that was quite enough of the
old Marquis for a lifetime, let me tell you.....now, "My Secret Life" on
the other hand....




Tell me....in detail....what that wallet _smells_ like! :-)



It's been replaced since the last incident of that. :-)


You know, you could have sold it for big money on Pervbay!
I know you specialize in reaction motor design; see if you can make
heads or tails of how the airflow is supposed to work on this oddity;
I'm getting lost somewhere around the exhaust diffusers to the central
core, and trying to figure out how air is getting to the flame holders
in the wing disc: http://www.ufx.org/avro/pv704/pv704.htm

Crikey!
After a thorough review of the available documentation, and a Lunch
Hour's
worth of Extensive Investigation, I can provide the fiollowing
insight.
The stuff refernced on the page describes two configurations - One,
with the
Viper Gas Generators mounted such that they're sucking air in fom the
rim,
and exhausting directly through the turbine sandwiched between the
radial
fan stages. (This appears to be the initial configuration, and is
referenced
in the WS-606 documents. The other configuration has the Vipers
sucking air from the diffuser (outer rim) on the fan stages, and
routing the hot gas
180 degrees back to the fan turnine using "fishtail ducts". In both
cases,
the "afterburner/ramjet type" combustors appear to be fed by similar
periperal ducts in the diffuser sections of the fan stages. That's
pretty standard supercharger/water pump practice. For an example of
what form it would take,
check out the GE logo sometime.

After looking over the projected performance numbers, It appears that
Avro
did succeed in one of their Prime Goals for this project - the
production of prodigious amounts of hot gas.

Now - what we could do is duct the ramjet exhaut backl to the fan
turbines, and then out to the rim... It'd be a Flying Sousaphone!

I am still trying to figure out if there ever really any truth about the
gay "Gerbiling" craze: it sounds suspiciously like something that gays
would try to foist on gullible straights who would think them capable of
_anything_; including shoving a live rodent up their rear ends on
occasion. Still, one never really knows just what might get put where in
this modern world...for instance, I once heard that some guy named Bill
took a cigar and....
....and it did make for a great "Cherry Poptart" comic book cover:
Man's hand extended towards Cherry with a Gerbil grasped in it....
Cherry: "Are you NUTS? I could never do a thing like that to a cute
little GERBIL!"
Gerbil: "Aw, c'mon!...please?"

Ami clearly said "married TO THEIR LONG-TERM PARTNERS." (emphasis added)

*I* didn't choose the partners. Don't blame me for their poor choice if
they
wanted to get married. If the mission was to get married, then they did
the
wrong thing by choosing the partners they chose. The law was freely
available even before the Internet. *You* of all people should know that.

I only know one person who told me "I want to get married in the next few
years" who didn't say it in context with who he wanted to get married to. I
know upwards of thirty people who have told me "I want to get married to X",
where X was their current S.O.

That's nice, and I don't dispute that. However, if your mission is to *get
married*, choosing someone you cannot marry as a partner is contrary to the
mission, and is therefore a poor choice.

Are you under the misapprehension that gay people _choose_ to be gay?
If so, you're flat-ass wrong. They don't choose to be homosexual any
more than you chose to be heterosexual.

IIRC there's also evidence that sexual preference is a continuum, not
simply a two position switch.

I like the "breaking news" tone there, Derek ;-)
