my chair has no torque. mostly because it has a broken foot. I do have a new keyboard, because the broken foot caused me to spill tea all over my keyboard.

I would have liked to drag race Hank in my highschool ride which was a 1983 diesel suburban.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Also, torque is generally measured at the engine. Torque at the drive wheels is greater, due to the gearing of the transmission and differential/transaxle. Off-road trucks and rock-climbing custom trucks will have ultra-low gearing, so they can produce thousands or tens of thousands of lb/ft of torque.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Crap.

I am guessing Tom is talking about baseball, not torque.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The diesel would probably have won. Hank is slow and steady. Seems diesels, at least newish diesels, go much faster. But then I don't know much about them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
From the first moment I saw Titanic, and heard the chorus of that awful Celine Dion song, I always heard Grover singing it.
OMG, I like that song SO much better now!
