If we're going to be making up t-shirts all willy nilly and higgledy piggledy,
then I demand a "I've been at the controls of the space shuttle" t-shirt. Or
even "I adjusted the pilot's side cabin light on Endeavour" t-shirt.

You skipped over this part:
" Eventually, the twin can figure this out, but it tends to go against
how humans become of aware of things to figure it out before it has
caused a
problem."

I didn't skip it- it's not relevent.

Actions have consequences, and we are responsible for them even if we
don't
know what they are when we take action or make a decision.


Indeed, but a lot of what you've posted on this topic sounds a lot
like, "all you need for SSTO is a lot of kinetic energy, and anyone
who doesn't choose to do that is responsible for the consequences"!

If you think so. Probably not the first time you've been wrong. Even happens
to Henry once in a while

Show how it isn't relevant.

Ahh, but you do your best to convince me I'm right! ;-)

If a person is not overweight, then there is no problem to figure out, and
no need to try.

I think either Brad Guth or Rhonda Lea Kirk was the winner in the total
number of berserk responses that their postings inspired on my part;
although Tamas Feher probably got the most bizarre of the bizarre in
this one- in the full swing of my Electric Trolley Bus/Milla Jovovich
fixation; this is the slowly-going-a-bit- more-mad-sentence-by-sentence
technique- guaranteed to twist the mind of the Hungarian into the
equivalent of a Gordian Knot; and help further convince all of Europe
that the inhabitants of North Dakota are ever bit as crazy as those two
bloodthirsty loons from the movie "Fargo".

The soviet made ETBs here in Budapest, Hungary have been in use for some 50
years and no significant problems. The TWO fishing rods on the top disengage
if the overhead cables (especially intersections) are not maintained
properly or crossed at too high speed. The ETB is not really suitable for
roads with heavy car traffic, it's between-lanes manouverability is limited.
(Remember that privately owned cars in the Eastern Block countries were
curiosities before 1990 and public transportation had almost exclusive use
of the city roads.) An average ETB is supposed to last 35 years,


Yeah.. and Shuttles were supposed to last 100 flights....

with
several replacement superstructures, while diesel buses last some 17 years
with several engine swaps.


When I left the one I was on, the fire was spreading from the underbelly
motor to the main body of the bus...and the traffic was way backed
up...also...when that fire reaches the overhead wires, the now
electrically conductive flame is going to cause some "interesting"
effects; both on the trolley bus itself, and the trolley bus power grid
in general. Leningrad had a lot of traffic, and maneuvering the thing in
it was very tricky.


BTW, I heard USA was pioneering the use of ETB, there was some 40-mile line
between LA and Hollywood in the 30's?



Damn if I know...but given the Commie leanings of Hollywood in the
1930's, such filthy treason wouldn't surprise me one little bit.


Many soviet cars are not soviet design, they bought the licence of italian
Fiat 125 and manufactured several million. Earlier cars were often copies of
US models.


Having had both a Corvair and 81 Thunderbird in the family, I think they
should be very careful about what they copy....my dad didn't think much
of Ralph Nader until the Corvair did its little locked suspension trick
on him one day out on the highway... luckily, God intervened on our
family's behalf, and soon sent a sign to warn us to sell it...a few
weeks later, a 50 pound icicle fell two hundred feet onto the little
unoccupied crapbox, and impaled it like a kid pinning a still-convulsing
bug in a cigar box- dad drove it home; shards of ice sticking out of
its thin, poorly cut sheet metal body. No more would we have to live in
the dual fire and carbon monoxide poisoning threats of its gasoline
fueled heater...does any of this have anything to do with electric
trolley buses, much less Yuri Gagarin? No, of course not... but if
LeeLoo from "The Fifth Element" had been standing on the roof of the
Corvair that winter day, she would have no doubt kicked that icicle
clear of it with one agile karate movement...showing that Milla Jovovich
is indeed a dream-a-licous goddess, and was wise to leave the Ukraine
and it's murderous electric trolley bus's before one of them spoiled her
good and ever-so-carfully moisturized looks, or burned all of her
electrified L'Oreal dyed hair off- a martyr to the cult of Socialist
Mass Transport At All Costs....so don't get all smart and sassy when you
blithely suggest hurling her svelte body into the void..... or who
knows? An icicle may fall on _you_ some day as you step off of a fellow
traveling electric trolley bus..... and as you lie dazed in the street,
paprika red blood flowing freely from your head wound, strange visions
of a nude,.but goulash covered, Zsa-Zsa Gabor dancing before your
eyes.... you will note that the poorly-dubbed-into-Hungarian copy of
"The Messenger" in the nearby store window is laughing at you...God's
sure sign that His Chosen are not to be trifled with, and that if man
were meant to ride in electrically driven trolley bus's, he would have
been born with rubber insulated feet on a ice-free world.... so you just
remember that...."

Funnier thinking than most..

I never did get that picture of her in a bikini, leaning against a rock just
as a wave comes in...guess I'll have to break out the Photoshop. Rhonda,
would you prefer Kathy Ireland's legs or breasts or both?
