Well, obviously if you put a harrier on a treadmill it would have no problem taking off because they can rely on the vectored thrust to lift the aircraft up. If we are just talking about "conventional" aircraft (Cessna to a 747 for example) They rely on their wings to generate lift. They...

"an aircraft carrier is moving quickly yet an aircraft can take off from it" When aircraft take off from carriers, they will sail into the wind. The reason for this is to increase the apparent airspeed for more lift..

Hmm I have to disagree here. Aircraft engines do notcreate lift. They create thrust. The thrust propels the aircraft forward causing air to flow around the wings to create lift. This is why airplanes have a stalling speed when they are not moving fast enough for the air flowing around the wings...

Turn it down you say but all I got to say to you is time and time again is no! NO! no no no no.. no

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LES! Nope, that's great. Thanks.

I've been living in Halifax for a while now, and will be here for at least another year.

I've been trying to change my location for a while now, after I try it will always go to an "error" page. Any ideas?

East coast this time. Just got back from a 1 month trip down the American east coast. I'll be on the east coast for at least another year now.

Actually I really can't complain about the food at all. They give us several choices so I can always find something I like.

Many people bitch about my job. 200ish days a year at sea, LONNNNG days at sea, lack of sleep, work-ups, etc. I don't waste my time concentrating on the negative points, it's not all bad :D

I was sailing in American waters over your thanksgiving. pfffft!

bonne fete! Quel age as tu?

Damn, I won't be home for halloween this year :( Just got the call, heading to Halifax in a few days, posted to a new ship. I was looking forward to Halloween here, I even bought a new pirate shirt and hat. pfft :(

Stupid bitch, My father was driving on a DIVIDED highway, pulled out to pass a van around a corner and saw another car coming head on in his lane. He put it in the ditch to avoid a head on. He said as soon as he pulled our from behind the car he was passing, the car (an old ford crown vic he...

yup, we travelled from the planet "yarrrrrbooty" to drink your Alpine! arrr! (brewed only in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada)

I don't ever remember playing it with more then one ball, but we may have. We used to play it EVERY day at lunch and recess for years. It was a great game! Maybe it's an '85 thing. :D

Last year I was a pirate from space. *poke* http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/Crazy_Horse/IMG_0749.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y49/Crazy_Horse/IMG_0743.jpg This year I have to make it gooooood! Chances are, it will involve pirates though.

Hmm, this is how "Red Ass" worked. You threw a tennis ball at a wall, it would bounce back and you would try to catch it. If you were successful in catching it with out dropping it you threw it back at the wall. If it hit you, or you tried to catch it but dropped it you had to run and touch...

Ah, I would love to own something like that some day. I'm sure it has seen a few good parties! How did she sink? Just pounded to death by the waves?

Bahahaha! That's a good one. The game we used to play most, in elementary school went something like this. The snow plow would plow all the snow into a pig pile from the parking lot. The goal was to be at the top of the pile, but it was a big free for all to get there. Well for the most...
