'Cos they work with their mouths.......pity they didn't wear out.

Yes but the Good Lord gave women two sets of lips so they can p** and talk at the same time!

If they stayed in the kitchen where they belong, perhaps they would get more done!

George,

The X wing "shoot down" is pretty funny, and a lot more entertaining than the original "we guessed wrong on the wing root strength" video of the launch and breakup.

The flutter wind generator concept is fantastic! Great innovative thinking. Inherently safer than a wind turbine, easy to repair, etc. The ability to bring power generation to regions steeped in poverty alone makes it a great invention. Other applications come to mind as well, including small boat power (great for sailing in storm conditions, when solar power is not available), hiking, mountain climbing, research in remote locations, etc.

Great stuff!

There was a Canadian stereo loudspeaker which worked in the reverse of this...........kind of a strained connection here, but I have to post a picture, right?

They were great speakers, not much in the upper frequencies though and hard to place in the room acoustically.

I've heard of Burning Your Bridges, but Burning Your Boat?




Actually, it's a part of the build process - http://www.tramontingondole.it/ing-construction.htm

Makes building a plywood skiff seem a little inadaquate.
