First, that's a good looking meal.My pork chop has a decidedly porcine appearance-

Second, The Rorschach-Pork Chop test is much more accurate for determining a mental condition than a Rorschach alone.
Not a lot of people know that.
very funny.HEY!
Put on a pair of shorts while in Florida. Filled with red ants (fire ants maybe they were called). That happened. No ferrets.
I had just woken up, groggy. Put on the shorts. Then my thighs were burning to an alarming degree. I was now fully awake. The main thing on my mind was to get in the shower before a worst-case-scenario occurred. It didn't.in my shorts? not for a $billion
It happened fast but I was lucky to not have gotten the fluid thing. I don't remember how red the skin was but it was red.They leave little welts that swell, itch, and each one fills with fluid. Nasty!
For its time.Them, they say, is a good movie.
I wouldn't know; it's just what they say.For its time.
thread asking “Can an airplane take off from a treadmill?”
Just for fun, I'm thinking that if the wheels of the craft are in good shape and greased, only the wheels will turn.“Can an airplane take off from a treadmill?”.
That was funny.Without wind over the wings there is no lift. So if the treadmill was on a moving train….
The wheels of an airplane only support the airplane when it’s on the ground. They have nothing to do with propelling the airplane. That is done by the thrust from the propeller. The air doesn’t care what the wheels are doing; the thrust will move the airplane forward but, assuming the treadmill is moving opposite of the airplane, the wheels will spin faster than normal. When takeoff speed is reached the wheels will be spinning twice as fast as on a stationary runway (assuming that the treadmill is moving at the aircraft’s normal takeoff speed; that‘s how the challenge is usually presented) but the airplane will stil take off.Just for fun, I'm think that if the wheels of the craft are in good shape and greased, only the wheels will turn.
I'm not going to rebut or argue since I'm not qualified but it was a very fun mind puzzle.
You might have even meant it as a joke, I don't know.
Now mobius strips....
If you reverse the train, the airplane will take off in half the normal distance. Just sayin’…Without wind over the wings there is no lift. So if the treadmill was on a moving train….
Didn't know.. The secret UN NWO army at the antarctic ice wall at the edge of the earth have to use treadmills for the secret planes that every meteorologist on earth uses to fake round satellite images, to take off or they'll fall over the side!I actually investigated (went on the internet) Flat Earth stuff. They really, really want to believe. I learned definitely not to make fun of them.
Yeah, kind of like that. An inclination that I'm guilty of is, "COME ON, MAN!!! SERIOUSLY???"Didn't know..

...oh... I forgot my CAPS LOCK and BOLD TYPE!!
So it does work is what I got. That's cool.The wheels of an airplane only support the airplane when it’s on the ground. They have nothing to do with propelling the airplane.

Every plane I’ve been on has a kitchen well stocked with microwave ovens. You notice how when they’re serving dinner it’s smoother? That’s because those microwaves are busy warming your chicken or beef INSTEAD OF PROVIDING THRUST.Without wind over the wings there is no lift. So if the treadmill was on a moving train….
