Gotcha.

Hey, it's a TEST forum. I was testing YOU to see if you'd click.

You got a problem with that, Tough Guy? :)

    If you don't stop picking at this thread, it will never heal.

    BTW, that may not be that cowpoke's first rodeo, but it's definitely his last.

    Reason for editing: apparently Buckwheat is a controversial character. Oh well.

    I'm blown away by how many of these cat devices are described on the internets.

    According to government contract solicitations, they don't need antigravity, but they do need the bucket containment field to hold it. You could sell that for more than a buck.

    My favorite Wyle E Coyote cartoon, which I have only seen once in my life:

    Coyote is in a car, madly chasing after Roadrunner on a twisty road alongside a high cliff. RR makes it around an outside turn, but Coyote goes over the edge. Looks at camera, waves bye, and jumps out. As he falls, he looks up to see his car landing perfectly on the other side.

    Gotta love Looney Tunes!

    When I was very young (maybe a tenth of my present age) our family visited my grandparent who lived in Utah. This was a Christmas visit so there was plenty of snow. Living in San Diego for most of our lives, my siblings and I were very excited about the snow.

    We decided to sled down the hill along the side of our grandparents house. The hill leveled off nicely in their back yard but just past their yard was in embankment that lead down to an apple orchard. My oldest brother (three years older than myself so still not very old) advised is younger siblings, "if you think you're going to go down into the orchard, jump off the sled."

    Stuart (the second oldest) was a bit of a daredevil and would often end his run closer to the drop off than his siblings. I watched Stuart's last run where just as the sled approached the drop off, he jumped off of the sled. Unfortunately the sled turned as he jumped so he disappeared over the edge while the sled remained my grandparent's backyard.

    My attempts at trying to tell an adult what happened went unheard (I was kind of slow to learn to talk). Finally I heard an adult say "Where's Stuart?" It was only then that my frantic pointing was noticed.

    Stuart lay on his back in branches of a leaf-bare apple tree crying his head off (he was a crybaby daredevil). Stuart wasn't injured, just mad to have been stuck in a tree so long (probably about five minutes).

    Antigravity, seriously? Why would anyone want to go back to the way things used to be?

    What's better, antigravity or perpetual motion?

    With the right technology, anything is possible. It helps to use the right hand movements. Please don't laugh I'm not a magician.
