Stick with the typewriters. I don't believe MonkeyFly Labs will deliver on time.

I learned that the electric motor in the fan I took apart to try and fix, is pretty much the exact same technology as the massive hydroelectric turbines my dad spent his life maintaining, just working in the opposite direction. One uses electricity to run a magnet to spin a thing that turns the fan. One uses water to turn what is totally not unlike a fan to turn a magnet to generate electricity.

Kind of obvious now that I've seen it, but a pretty neat connection to make 30ish years after the fact, or whenever it was I last saw the insides of the big turbines on a cub scout tour.

Human hair is used to keep cookie dough soft while in ice cream, not because its needed but because its cheaper than using artificial gelatin. YUMMY!

You're like that multi-colored Kia standing in front of me at red lights, wherever I go.

EDIT: meant the Ford Ka actually. Didn't even know Kia was a car... reality is sometimes sillier than a typo.

The filler that everyone was whining about in the news a few months ago "pink slime" is the cartilage and other portions of tissue (not meat) that is attached to the bone before it is removed via a tumble method similar to how you would smooth a rock. Then when it all falls from the bone it is soaked in ammonia and then ground into the ground beef. Which is not required on labels due to it not being an "ingredient", but in fact part of the "process".

Early in 1960 the Air Force authorized ATC to discontinue pilot and navigator preflight courses at Lackland AFB, Texas. Pilot preflight training became the responsibility of the primary training bases, and navigator preflight moved to the navigator schools. New navigator preflight training programs went into effect at Harlingen on 6 April.

Hope this information will help you sleep better now.

Well, today I've learnt something about Antarctica.  Were you to remove ice, it would actually be an archipelago, not a single mass continent:

[jasinlee]

Wait, it didnt melt away already? I saw something about a mass melt in Greenland, perhaps when they all finish melting my place in Florida will be a island instead of being 15 minutes form a beach Or at least thats what the maps online show.
