Heh. Tarver slagging me over a Bridges at Toko-Ri quote. That's
*funny*, considering he's insulted both Art Kramer and Ed Rasimus,

done.

Ah well, thanks for replying to his post; at least I got to see what

Ask him about...

...how the WWII Avenger bomber was powered by jet engines

Bwahawhawhaw!!

...how pitot tubes are only used on turbine planes
...how mud wasps clog pitot tubes with alarming regularity
...how the pitot tube is actually the P1T0 tube
...how spoilers create negative lift
...how wings on racecars are actually spoilers
...how Budweiser is the best-selling beer in Australia
...how a non-existant section of TWA800 was the problem
...how Kapton is a conductor, not an insulator

how Budweiser is the best-selling beer in Australia

LOL!!!............as if.............

Budweiser is evil and must be stopped.

Because it makes you puke?

Is it possible Splappy mixes Thunderbird & Budweiser, then calls it a
"Desert Refresher".

He he! Yep!
