Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
The bottom of this page has some awesome shots of the C-5 in use. I think this is my favorite one.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
apparently he's ranted for years it's too top heavy and that that's exactly what would happen with a hard impact
I have to point out that they've been flying them for almost forty years, and very few noses have broken off. I'm gonna give the engineers from Lockheed (not Boeing) the benefit of the doubt on this one.
sort of x-post with Tommy.

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
Sophia, you are a pretty mild mannered person and not prone to flying off the handle. You responding in a completely appropriate yet ticked off manner may well be shocking enough to be effective.
Good onya.

DH has done that a couple of times , Sophia. It is effective, and rarley has to be repeated to the same person.

The C-130s flew for several decades with few incidents and then had a rash of failures in an 18 month span. There was an overhaul and the problems stopped. (I had a cousin killed in one of them, my knowledge is therefore emotional and somewhat spotty). Sometimes things age badly.
