When that whip cracks is when the tip goes through the sound barrier. Was good at it too.
Same as here.

I figure that the people will go just so far and then it's chaos. They will fight with sticks if they have to and sometimes they win. It's a sorry thing to see a country like SA go down like that. It effects everyone there and other countries too. Don't really know what to say about a situation like that. Pete

Agreed. Sorry for hijacking the thread but I couldn't resist asking a few questions about South Africa. Guess y'all want to get back to your soccor right?
Thanks for the enlightenment Fanie. Pete
