    Oh, that's right. You did consult with NASA about Space Shuttle
    structural design when you wer 9 years old, didn't you?

    In that case, figure out some kind of product that you can easily
    produce and sell so you can put your shop to good use.

    I dunno about that , but I worked with the ordnance engineer who designed
    the destruct system on the solid boosters . IIRC it used 300 gpf copper clad
    lsc , the rest of that info is probably still classified ...
    I suspect the frame problems stemmed from HAZ and chromium carbides
    precipitating out of the alloy ...

    actually pinky...I probally could have. Because aamof I am that damned
    good at airframe engineering...other frame work also. <evg> like Mr.
    Browning I can and DO,do all the design work in my head and then draw
    it out so others could build it. Usually I do the fabricating also,
    which means I don't have to bother drawing anything except maybe
    reference points if I when I need a jig to hold things in place. Hell
    I even make sure there isn't any trash left inside...unlike your
    unemployable ass.

    When I was at Cape Canaveral working on the Atlas Agena SLV-IIIB
    (Satellite Launch Vehicle) we used RDX FSLC (flexible linear shaped
    charge made out of lead) to split the fiberglass nose cone in half and
    detach it from the Agena.

    Then pyrotechnic thrusters would separate it from the Agena vehicle so
    the payload could be released.

    The "angry alligator" that the Gemini astronauts tried to rendevous
    with was caused by the nose cone ejector ordinance failing to fire,
    because confused ordnance personnel failed to hook up the trigger
    wires...

    Especially mufflers made out of beer cans....you're a whiz at that,
    after you've
    guzzled the beer, belched, farted and taken a long piss...

    actually Mr. LIFE FAILURE...it was Maxwell Coffee, the 5# cans.
    Because of my skill I was able to do it with less tools than anybody
    else...took LESS than a half hour. You otoh aren't even capable of
    running vacume cleaner thus getting yourself fired from Grumman. You
    know even engineers have to clean up after themselves and or others.

    Moved to Ireland, judging by the accent.

    Did you have to get circumcized to write travel articles for The
    Jewish Chronicle, or could you just wear a yarmulke while in their
    employ?

  17. Once again, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, but I
    strongly suspect that (once again) you're about to make a fool of
    yourself.

    Keep stalking, boi.

    Do you deny picking your feet in Dubai?

    You might as well admit it.

    You know that you picked your feet in Dubai.

    You sat on the bed, and you took off your shoes and socks, and you sat
    on the bed and picked your feet.

    Just admit it. Things will go easier for you if you just admit that
    you picked your feet in Dubai.

  19. I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, and I believe
    you're making a fool of yourself and are about to make an even *bigger*
    fool of yourself, if that's possible.

  20. He's never read any of my travel journalism, of that I'm absolutely
    certain.

    And I'm not married to the author of the Harry Potter books, either.
