What retaliation? A very strongly worded letter?

No, it's just the textbook way how to do it. Once the mob's baying for blood the declaration's just rubber stamping. And the president (or whoever's pulling the strings) keeps his hands clean in case it's later proved to be wrong.

You didn't hear McCain & Palin saying - in person - that Obama was a Kenyan muslim, did you?

Because torque is measured in foot-pounds, and in space you're weightless so pounds = zero.

Of course the problem is solvable by using a sensible system of measurement with kilograms and newtons.

I'll bet you any amount it won't break. This is a technology demonstration and proof of concept, not a stress-to-failure type test.

You're saying it won't break because they won't actually use it?

I agree with what your saying, though maybe I could have been clearer.

If everything did literally grow on trees, you could bet your bottom dollar (if indeed you had one) that some bastard would build a wall round "his" orchard.

Changing the threshold for prosecution isn't the same as changing the actual duration of the yellow.

right angle crash incidents have been reduced, rear-end crashes that resulted in injuries went up 22 percent.

Most cars I've driven have a lot more space behind me & in front than they do to either side.

If I you could, where would you choose to get hit?
