At a recent wedding party, someone yelled,"All the married men please stand
next to the one person who has made your life worth living."
The bartender was crushed to death.

Just heard on the radio that there is already trouble in the McCartney
marriage. Evidently the new wife is spending twice as much money on shoes
as the last one.Yes, and I understand having trouble deciding when asked to
put her best foot forward.

Eagle Owl...serious adrenaline rush
Great photography..... this video shows an Eagle Owl attacking the camera
that's doing the recording. The slow-motion photography was shot at a film
speed of 1000 FPS.
Eagle Owls are native to Eurasia and are closely related to the Great
Horned
Owl (the one with the 'ears').
For flyers & bird watchers, this video is also an interesting study of the
owl's wing aerodynamics in very slow motion. Too bad the film stopped short
of the actual attack on the camera.....
To any prey, those outstretched claws must be a very daunting image in its
last few seconds of life!! Also check the focus in the eyes!!

Subject: The New Wine Taster
At a wine merchants, the regular taster died and the director started
looking for a new one to hire.
A drunkard with a ragged, dirty look came to apply for the position. The
director of the warehouse wondered how to send him away.
They gave him a glass to drink.
He tried it and said, "It's a Muscat , three Years old, grown on a north
slope, matured in steel containers". Low grade but acceptable.
"That's correct", said the boss.
Another glass.... "It's a cabernet, eight years old, a south-western
slope,
oak barrels, matured at 8 degrees. Requires three more years for finest
results.."
"Correct.."
A third glass...''It's a pinot blanc champagne, high grade and exclusive''
calmly said the drunk.
The director was astonished. He winked at his secretary to suggest
something.
She left the room, and came back in with a glass of urine.
The alcoholic tried it.
"It's a blonde, 26 years old, three months pregnant and if you don't give
me the job, I'll name the father!"

This is because the daft bastard torched his Sainsbury Local in Peckham and

So I'm at the bar and this little Chinese guy is stood at the side of me.
So I asked him "do you know martial arts like Kung Fu and Ju-Jitsu"?
He replied "NO" why you ask me that.
Is it because I'm Chinese?
I said "no, it's because your drinking my bloody beer".

Reno Accident....Information re P51 crash
Click here Click here Click here Click here Click here Click here

Galloping Ghost crash
Ok... here's the skinny on the accident....
A P-51 normally has two trim tabs.. One on each elevator...
This one had one and other one was fixed in place..
He was warned about the forces being put on that one tab. It failed..
He had at least a 10G load when the plane pitched up from the loss of the
trim tab and he went "nighty night" and probably never woke up.
====================================================================
In 1989 this type of thing happened to another pilot but he lived to tell
the story.
When flying a P-51 at 450+mph you need to have full nose down trim to keep
the plane level.
The elevator trim tab broke off and the aircraft immediately went in to a
10G climb, confirmed by the G-meter.
The pilot came to, from the sudden blackout and realized he had slipped
through the shoulder harness and was looking at the floor of the airplane.
He was able to reach the throttle and pull it back to slow down and was
able to recover and land.
=====================================================================
Fast forward to 2011
Photo one is the airplane taxiing, note the pilots head in the canopy.
Photo two is typical oil canning as a result of the tremendous torque these
engines put out at high power.
Photo three is a photo of GG upside down with a missing elevator trim tab.
Note all you see is the back of the pilots head indicating he is being
forced down in the c*ckpit.
Photo four is a view of the left side nose down with the tail wheel
extended and no view of the pilot. The tail wheel is held up by hydraulics
only with no mechanical uplock, thus indicating a high G-force causing it
to extend.
Photos five and six are from the left side prior to impact, note no view of
the pilot and the tail wheel extended.
Photo seven is the debris just after the crash. To the right of center
above the crowd it appears to be the wing with the leading edge down.
The people were mostly hit by chunks of concrete, asphalt and aircraft
debris. They were also hurt by the trampling of people getting out of the
way.

This is Crazy - So a new trend has EXPLODED in China's upper class where
people are transforming their pets into miniature versions of animals,
fairy's or just dying them crazy colors but Pandas seem to be a big hit and
obviously their favourite. It's become a huge industry and people are
spending THOUSANDS of dollars in professional hair dye, salon cuts,
clothing, accessories, you name it!
Poor dogs.
