  1. Pun Time When chemists die, they barium. Jokes about German sausage are the wurst. I know a guy who's addicted to brake fluid. He says he can stop any time. How does Moses make his tea? Hebrews it. I stayed up all night to see where the sun went. Then it dawned on me. This girl said she recognized me from the vegetarian club, but I'd never met herbivore. I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can't put it down. I did a theatrical performance about puns. It was a play on words. They told me I had type-A blood, but it was a Type-O. PMS jokes aren't funny; period. Why were the Indians here first? They had reservations. We're going on a class trip to the Coca-Cola factory. I hope there's no pop quiz. I didn't like my beard at first. Then it grew on me. Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher who lost her job because she couldn't control her pupils? When you get a bladder infection urine trouble. Broken pencils are pointless. I tried to catch some fog, but I mist. What do you call a dinosaur with an extensive vocabulary? A thesaurus. England has no kidney bank, but it does have a Liverpool. I used to be a banker, but then I lost interest. I dropped out of communism class because of lousy Marx. All the toilets in New York's police stations have been stolen. The police have nothing to go on. I got a job at a bakery because I kneaded dough. Velcro - what a rip off! A cartoonist was found dead in his home. Details are sketchy.
  2. If I ever need a knee/hip replacement...
  3. You could probably use that stereotype for all college students.... I think DEVO was right 30 years ago, we're de-evolving;)
  4. That's why we all put loud horns in our car... though it wouldn't help in that situation. Poor guy;(
  5. I think this demonstrates how the stats may have been manipulated a bit (you know what they say about stats...). Notice it's not compared to CEO & his company's workers but rather the "national average income". Even with the slant, it still seems to be a trend that can't be good. "...CEOs at top companies earned 380 times the average worker's income in 2011 So how do CEOs stack up against ordinary workers? Well, the average CEO of a company on the S&P 500 Index earned 380 times the average American worker's wage, with average CEO pay having increased 13.9 percent in 2011. The highest-paid CEO in the country was Apple's Timothy Cook, whose total compensation was nearly $378 million. That's more than 11,000 times the average worker's income of $34,053. The 100th highest-paid CEO, Heinz's W.R. Johnson, had total compensation of more than $18 million, 543 times the average worker's income. What we can't know is how much CEOs make compared with the workers in their own companies; however, that's something the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill will soon require companies to disclose.
  6. go here and put your cursor a little bit over this guys head when he stops running http://www.selfcontrolfreak.com/pakken.html
  7. Not to hijack, but Loren, that's the HP I'd like to have... if it's got a good torque curve, reliable (for hot weather) etc... Look forward to hearing more.
  8. Well you could put the money for custom 15 wheels towards a supercharger and not have to worry about going to smaller wheels;)
  9. Makes me think of buying that insurance they offer at some trackdays...
  10. He's mistaken... lowering the rpm that VTEC kicks in makes for a more linear torque curve. No loss of power or surprises when giving it a little more throttle.

    trailer

    Man, that would go perfect with my 7! And it's adaptable... kind of pricey (don't know Costco's price) http://www.pod-ium.com/motorcycle-luggage-trailer.html
  12. According to the Wall Street Journal, someone has filed a patent for "vibrating tattoos." And it wasn't just anyone -- the patent was filed by Nokia. What use could one have for a so-called vibrating tattoo, you ask? That's not 100 percent clear yet, but it's not as aimless as it sounds. The tattoo would vibrate when the wearer received a text, phone call, or e-mail. (Yes, people. It's happening.) Unwired View describes the innovation in detail: "The tattoo would be applied using ferromagnetic inks. The ink material would first be exposed to high temperatures to demagnetize it. Then the tattoo would be applied. You'll apparently be able to choose the actual image you want as the tattoo. The procedure is identical to that of getting a 'normal' tattoo -- only the ink is special." Do you think the idea of a vibrating tattoo -- and the fact that we're so close to it -- is wonderful or wacky? Hmmm, the pervert in me has some ideas...
  13. I can't imagine doing both... would need some bleeping out in my case http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1yRMKOHD_PU#!
  14. You could go white too. A lot of work to keep clean but it would look good with your frame.
  15. Go that bright green and you might pick a sponsorship from Monster Energy;)
  16. I have no complaints... and can see jobs are outsources to places like India http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17543356
  17. I've never had a really outrageous HP car. But I don't think 300hp is too much for a 1400lb car (mine). I'll never use my current 216hp to it's fullest, like those videos, but I think it would be fun to feel a bit more G-force accelleration when I want. Now Kevin's S2K with close to 400 was something else... he could barely shift fast enough to keep up with it!
  18. I was getting my 7 ready for next Saturday's track day and thought a little jaunt to the hardware store would make for a good last shake down. When I got back in the car, turned the battery switch and nothing (usually hear the fuel pump). Battery's got juice (hardware guy brought out his meter) and touching the two posts on the switch didn't do anything (in either position). Well that's about the extent of my electrical abilities so at least I got my money's worth out of AAA.

    Scrabble

    Scrabble... Rearrange the letters to spell out an important part of the human body which is even more useful when erect. P N E S I People who wrote SPINE became doctors... The rest are all my friends...
  20. I think it would be awesome to design and build. Even to drive. But I wouldn't want to be seen driving it. Couldn't get past the "flaunting it" feeling. Of course I say that now... but if I won the lotto and could afford the car and rent out the track for myself and friends it might be a different story.
  21. I took mine to this place in Fresno, Ca. Bright silver and holding up great. http://www.capscoatings.com/contactus.html
  22. He maybe nuts but the biggest "no fear" kid has to be Travis Pastrana. He's done so many things but this one tops it for me.
  23. With my fiberglass hood, I'm a little worried about heat from a turbo... nowadays, you can tune the turbo for different boosts at differnt rpm & gears. I think the rotex takes up the least room.
