The Bar-Headed geese can fly at a 30,000 foot elevation and fly 50mph, double that speed with a tailwind. ;)

Oh I like this thread already.

Holding the throttle wide open clears a flooded engine. I feel this should be common knowledge, but I see people give up on starting flooded engines all the time simply because they don't know enough to keep the throttle open. I see professionals on TV unaware of this procedure as well. Flooded engines start when you hold the throttle wide open. I've showed people this and then watched them NOT do it under an hour later. People refuse to believe it works for some reason. Two weeks ago I saw someone advising the guy with the flooded engine to "Remove the spark plug and flip the machine upside-down, then crank it over with the plug out." FFS... Just last week I watched a two stroke drag racer forfeit his race because he couldn't get his bike started. To make things worse, a second person came over and cupped his hands over the carburetor horns only serving to flood the engine even more. I almost threw a chair through the TV.

Dihydrogen Monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

It has been used by interogators to torture and elcitite information from prisoners. It's approved by the FDA as a food and beverage ingredient, and is so widely used, there's a 100% chance it's in your body and impossible to remove without causing death.

I hate to break it to you "King" but the gas in my body is not odorless, or tasteless, and at times its not colorless either,
it mostly stinks, taste like old eggs and makes my shorts brown.
Just ask the wife and youngen'

That doesn't sound like Dihydrogen Monoxide to me :shiftyeyes:

If your ATV tire goes flat and you have no other means to fill it, you can simply elevate the tire, remove and replace the valve stem and you will have approximately 2 pounds of air pressure in the tire depending on the elevation you were at at the time you did this.

In most cases, yes, but I had some out of the tap in St. Petersburg Florida that was a wee sulfuric

And by "wee", I mean "alot"

Hydrogen sulfide is a colorless gas.

Dihydrogen Monoxide is the universal solvent.

Some sort of blower or supercharger is a requirement for any two stroke diesel engine, however it does not provide a boosted intake charge. Therefore, a two stroke diesel engine with a blower only is known as naturally aspirated, and only those which include a turbo are boosted. The turbo cannot be used on it's own in place of the blower.

The ol' 6-71 roots blower. I think one of those made an appearance in the final scene of the Fast & Furry Us, gay porn film.




For the love of Pete, nobody Google that movie title, I just made it up and hope it doesn't actually exist.

When it's summer in North America, it's winter in South America.

Contrary to popular belief the Coriolis force isn't strong enough to change direction that the water in a toilet bowl spins when flushed, so depending on the design of the loo the water can swirl the same direction as it does in the Northern hemisphere..... winter or summer.

A good pay day back in the day. I wonder how long the race was at 7.3 mph it would take 8 minutes and 13 sec. to complete a mile. that would take a few hours to do 25 mile. Could you imagine? Driving that slow.

The race was sponsored by the Chicago Times-Herald and ran a 54-mile course from down-town Chicago to Evanston, Il and back.

The raccoon is one of only a few mammals where there is an actual bone in the penis. If you've ever watched "moonshiners", that little white stick they use to direct the drip into the container is a coon bone. Sometimes you'll see them in their hat bands and such.

The male ducks thingy is a spiral shape like a screw and falls off yearly only coming back out during mating season. The female reproduction tract is a series of twist and turns. The male duck basically rapes the female duck during mating season.

Well all I know is we were in the park at the gift store and I overheard an employee telling a couple gals about the road that’s what he said. I will have to look at the map and tell you the road number I believe it was on the East side of the park.

Maybe it was 89 Bob. We stayed in Libby, went there last summer, loved Montana

Flathead is the largest fresh water lake, west of the Mississippi River. Going to the sun road is pretty short and won’t be fully open for awhile, so maybe that’s why the lower elevations are clogged. The only time I remember being there is September, when it slows down a bit.

Look up the floods from ancient lake Missoula, in this area, if you like. There was an ice dam holding it back around Clark fork Mt, that would break. Very interesting stuff.

Some Canadian heavy trucks have a longer gap between the two drive axles for weight distribution purposes. This distance is known as the "Canadian spread". It's easy to spot once someone shows you.

Conway Twitty's real name is Harold Lloyd Jenkins. His stage name supposedly came from picking names from two random cities.......Conway, Arkansas and Twitty, Texas.
His drummer, Tommy "Porkcop" Markham was from Conway, AR......coincidence?


When I was a teenager, my family went to a show in Branson, MO and my dad told us, "Hey, that's Tommy Markham on the drums."
Oh, Tommy Markham.......who the hll is that?
After the show you could go up to the stage and meet the performers. As we worked our way through the line, Tommy called out my dad by name. They shook hands and talked about way back when of their hometown. Tommy mentioned a story where my dad caught him trying to steal a baseball glove from the store my dad worked at.

2. The Mississippi River is 2,340 miles long and the quad cities where I live ( Davenport IA) is the only place the river flows East and West instead of North and South.. and have channel catfish the size of cars.

Hahaha, I fished in Colorado one time with my wife’s cousin from AZ. Never had met him before that time. I explained as to where I lived on the Mississippi and he said “I heard there is catfish the size of VW’s there. “ some that fish down by the Dam say there are some pretty big fish down there. Could you imagine grabbing one of those big boys with your hands

Definitely. What was done is done, might as well enjoy a laugh when you can. That was normal in the time period, the same as free range smoking was. Can't change it, so why fret? I was watching Blazing Saddles the other night until the wifey told me to turn it off, we don't share the same humor. Heck, she's never watched napoleon Dynamite or Joe Dirt, classics IMO!
