Could you (or someone) tell me where you got that information, or atleast the name of the town or something, because I couldn't find it in a search. Unless you were lieing. |

True, but I think it might have been referring to just blowing one up in a stockpile. Of course, it was a while back that I saw this law, so i might've been (slightly) mistaken. I've also heard that in Colorado, it's illegal to throw a missile at a car. Not shoot a missile at a car, throw a missile with your bare hands at a car. |

Although there are stipulations by the UN regarding Disturbing World Order and/or Peace. Our local star Sol's gravity affects a volume in the shape of a sphere 4 lightyears in radius. The Chernobyl Inncident was not a Nuclear Melt-Down, but a cooling system failure that resulted in a Steam explosion blowing the reactor core open. Additionally, none of the nuclear fallout was Uranium. Uranium is the fuel in Reactors, and decays into other hazardous isotopes of other elements, such as Krypton, Heavy Iodine, Potassium, Bismuth & Antimony. Currently the most present radioisotope in the Zone of Alienation is Cesium-137. |

Gold is the most malleable and ductile metal there is. If you were precise enough, you could stretch a kilogram over the entire surface area of a baseball field without any holes. |

Shooting it does nothing. Setting it on fire will cause it to burn slowly. Vietnam soldiers used bits of C4 as a campfire. See ^ |

Gone Gonzo Posts: 2892 Joined: 30 Jun 2008 | (Maybe not so oblivious, but what the hell..) The japanese translation for merry-go-round means, in literal context,"pony toy go round". In SW: Republic Commando, the sound of the Trandoshans walking was produced by hitting two halves of a pine-apple against a board of wood. The two movies to receive a 1 on metacritic, the lowest possible rating, are "The singing forest" and "Bio-dome" For those oblivious to Lesbos, it was an island that, in ancient times, was dominated by only females. The only way to, uh, reproduce was when Minoan sailors stopped by. And nine months later, A child came along. The Females-only "policy" was so strict, however, that if the baby was a boy, he would be killed, most likely by being hurled off a cliff. It has been proven by top scientists that the bird is, in fact, greater than, or equal to, the word. |

Unfortunately, I don't know about how flexible it is as it is mostly used in cooking knives. However, should it be proved to be at least be flexible enough to not break at after six blows, I am going to find a way to get myself a custom Zirconia sword, as it would defeat metal detectors. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1775 Joined: 13 Sep 2008    | Most of this has probably been said at one time or another, but... Tanks are buoyant. Plywood is very strong. Roman shields used to have plywood covers on the front to improve their durability and Germany used plywood to support tanks during transportation by air. Germany had a space program during World War II. It involved things like the "Death mirror space station" and the "Space Bomber". The first modern machine gun was made by a man named Gattling, but repeater weapons were in use since the 2nd and 3d centuries. The Germans made the first assault rifle - the STG44. It is the only weapon to appear in every Call of Duty game to date. |

On the Record Posts: 7300 Joined: 23 Dec 2007 | These are the trains with the greatest amount of wheels ever:  The Milwaukee Railroad EP-2 Bi-Polar Engine. One of the more powerful pantograph engines ever made. A famous photo exists of the electric train having a tug-of-war with two equivalent size steam locomotives with their throttle valves open wide over a bridge, and it won in less than a minute. In AAR Notation, it is a 1B-D+D-B1. Thats 14 axels.  Built by the Baldwin Engine Company for the Virginia Railroad, this was the experimental Triplex Mallet 2-8-8-8-4, or 16 axels. Due to having 6 cylinders, it could easily consume more steam than the boiler could produce in one cycle, so it couldnt go faster than 8km/h. When it was scrapped, it was rebuilt into two more engines, a 2-8-8-0 and a 2-8-2. |

In anaerobic respiration the human body creates lactic acid. Portsmouth FC is one of the only 5 teams to win the season twice back to back since World War Two. The smallest town to win the English Premier League is Blackburn Rovers. Hitler's idea of perfection was: German, Not Jewish, Blond, Tall, Blue-Eyed and (for the men) well endowed. Hitler himself was: Austrian, Part Jewish, Short, Brown-haired, Brown-eyed, and only had one testicle. |

They were countrymen, and he has said Ruđer Bošković, the "great philosopher" (in his words), "wrote a thousand volumes of excellent literature on a vast variety of subjects". |
