They have been toying with this model for quite some time, no?

I had not heard of it before, thus my post.

The record airliner flight from London to New York is 2 hours, 52 minutes, 59 seconds from takeoff to touchdown with the Concorde. This aircraft triples that speed, although this particular craft is built like a missile and is not suitable for passenger flight. Still, quite an achievement.

It was broke, so I fixed it.

Was still half asleep when I heard that this morning on the news and thought I had heard it wrong? That was right after the article on the 17-1/2 ft. python they got out of the everglades. Now that's a big ass snake.

I think it's cruel to remove them from the asses.

The report on the snake I saw had footage of them cutting it open and included the line "The python - now dead - "

If you don't remove may cause anal seepage. :)

The article was interesting, and I also enjoyed reading through the comments at the bottom of the article. Some people are very funny. :)

I didn't see that part but dead is the only way I'd try cutting it open.

Lister: Sir, just suppose... suppose if I had a cat, what would you do with Frankenstein? Captain Hollister: I'd send it down to the medical bay and have it cut up and run tests on it. Lister: Would you put the cat together again? Captain Hollister: Lister, the cat would be dead. Lister: With all due respect sir, what's in it for the cat?

When, when, WHEN will USians learn the difference between an ass and an arse?!? (And how many of them will be arrested before they do?)

Something about old dog new tricks, driving on the wrong side of the road... I think the answer is we will never learn.

Malta's got it right. Everyone drives down the middle -- and there are never any collisions!

And then there's New York, if you don't like the lane you're in just make one!

:) I just though it looked a lot like the IBCM they were proposing to build a while back. So that was the reason for the quiestion ;)

I think it's going to be the "wave" of the future. Hopefully this will be available commercially within the next 10 years or so. Not sure of what diaper I would need for Mach 6 though :)
