  1. White Castle is a colon cleanser on a greasy bun.
  2. You should have knotted him in the head, then said "how is that for bone density?"
  3. i got a choco chip cookie.... Yeah but Twardo was able to swap stories about hang gliding off a Pterodactyl
  4. I was only a "B" student, I scored 0.70pts under an "A" So out of 1000pts I only scored 899.30pts I guess I should have tried harder. That was a pretty tough class.
  5. Reputable shops will give you a service ticket receipt showing the VIN and Mileage on your car, while this is not always true this certainly helps them to keep their employees on a short leash. We have a local Chevy Dealer, my oldest brother worked there. Someone decided to take HIS LS6 Chevelle SS for a joy ride when my brother was on vacation. After my brothers return the manager marched the culprit up to him to explain how his car had been TOTALED. The punk then was talked to privately while the police were on their way. In the end my brother never collected all that was due to him, about 3/4 of the value of the car was never recuperated.
  6. All due to a pair of stoners in New Jersey, go figure...
  7. No in the greater sense you are correct, you might want to refer to; When we are looking at the age of universe we don't actually need any velocity because the Hubble constant itself is in the units of inverse time. So, t=1/H. Of course, it can't be that simple ;) because the units of the Hubble constant are quite strange. km/s/Mpc???? Well, if we know the number of km in a Mpc, we can change units. Like Sara said, 1Mpc = 3.09x19 km So, if we multiple the Hubble constant by the number of Mpc in a km (Mpc/km) we will be left with units of s^-1. If H=35km/s/Mpc = 35/3.09e19=1.13e-19 s^-1 If H=71km/s/Mpc = 71/3.09e19=2.3e-18 s^-1 If H=142km/s/Mpc=142/3.09e19=4.6e-18 s^-1 Now, t=1/H For H=35: 1/H=8.85e19 s For H=71: 1/H=4.35e18 s For H=142: 1/H=2.17e17 s Finally, we can divide by the number of seconds in a year to have a reasonable answer. Like Sara (classmate) mentioned, there are 3.16e7 seconds in a year. For H=35: T=2.8e10 years = 28 billion years For H=71: T=1.37e10 years =13.7 billion years For H=142: T=6.9e9 years = 6.9 billion years The important thing to notice here - as H increases, the age of the universe decreases. Hubble's Law, used to find the distance of a galaxy if its recession velocity can be measured, uses the recession velocity (measured in km/s) and divides it by Hubble's constant (measured in Mpc) to attain the distance to the galaxy. in other words: d = v/H = 10000 / 70 = 142.86Mpc Yes, I wrote the above
  8. Yes an Indigo has a bluish purple hue, hence the name. Anyone here ever catch a Massasauga? Little bastards and very dangerous if you rile them up. The smaller they are the worse they are. I found one on a cold day down on the Cal Sag, it was really docile until it got warmed up in the truck and the idiot I was working with (WI graduate) thought I was full of shit and it was some harmless species. I guess spending his days in the woods being a dork who could not sneak his way up on a log, did not afford him an opportunity to learn anything about our native species. I came back out after getting coffee and the idiot was writhing in pain and holding his dominant hand like he was going to die. So I had to waste the rest of the damned day taking his sorry ass to the hospital. The doctor asked what kind of snake, I told him. He asked if I was sure, I said hell I have it in a bucket you wanna doubt me too? Why do people who know nothing about snakes and have the reflexes of a cadaver try to mess with snake. That snake minding his own business in a bucket until he was warmed up and could be released in a better spot. I guess it was the snakes fault huh?
  9. Freshly grilled Sardines on a fresh baked Portuguese roll. Mmmmmmmm No not the little ones in the can, I am talking about freshly caught 10" or larger sardines
  10. Did you or the shop record the mileage when it was checked in?
  11. I would have mounted that mirror in a fairing on the topside just behind the bulge. Complete with a sliding door.
  12. No thanks, the wash behind that thing should be as bad as going over a whitewater course in your jumpsuit. Refuelers are bad enough.
  13. Your lack of perception and judgment of others intellect knows no bounds.
  14. I wish I had half the education you think you do.
  15. No, just after the last thread I now know that you won't take any good advice. My brother ran a Mitsubishi Dealership for well over 15 years, it was # 1 in the world. I could ask him what the problem is and he would know, but you would not listen so it would be a waste. If you can't take the last statement as a joke you need to get a grip. (loose nut)
  16. It is all due to a loose nut behind the steering wheel.
  17. They pillage south american forrests, the people are poorer and easier to manipulate, and the governments are much easier to buy off It must be all the Brazilian walnut Mc Donalds serves
  18. Yeah but you get stand up shoot back targets! Think of the possibilities!
  19. Yeee haaa !! It WAS beautiful! Only made it to +18F down here in East Troy. Good enough to get in my first naked jump of the year. Yeah but you were still in East Troy
  20. I say put her on the street turning tricks It won't even want a cut of the proceeds and in the morning you can drags its ass to the car wash on a trailer.
  21. The fucker just might survive it. They are kind of floaty. We used to launch them with Estes rockets
  22. I like the 100 watt bulbs in my bike. If I hit the high beams you know it for sure.
  23. I would not ride that last bike for money. I saw a bike that a squid owned, he sanded all his welds down on his Busa, so that the frame looked very clean. I hear he now breathes through a tube.
  24. I need some extra cash so I applied for a supervisor position. I could teach a monkey to fill out forms. I don't care where the money comes from, I would rather just make money consulting or selling Firearms parts, but it all adds up. Plus my wife does not consider anything but working an hourly job to be employment.
