  2. Speaking of moving buildings has anyone ever seen the movie “Dark City”. It’s a sci-fi classic in my books. Not your typical sci-fi flick. Check it out if you haven’t and see an entire city change shape everynight….(say no more….nudge, nudge, blink, blink

    )

  6. Please stop showing clips for 1 and 2 seconds and then flashing back to Joanne. This may be some 25-year-old’s idea of what’s hip, but in the real world, it’s so irritating as to be disrespectful to viewers. Give us slowpokes enough time to take in what you are showing — say five or 10
    seconds? Surely that’s not too much to ask. :-)

    1. I’m sorry Parker, but this is just too unbareably irresistable:

      P.S.: You must discover the pause and rewind buttons there on your screen–unfortunately, there’s no way to pause my little animation here.

      If they took 5 or 10 secs to show everything the show would drag & run too long.

      See that little triangle thing? Click that for “play” (it turns into 2 vertical bars) click them for “pause”
      but in the real world, I just hit my space bar.

    \”Hey Drew, unplug that coil for me will ya\”

    This ain\’t the 4th dimension, guesses anyone?

    & the winner…….

    might get one of these?
    I shall miss watching Katrin even though I didn\’t understand a word she said. Rocketboom found a replacement commentator that made the show much better, maybe Ehrensenf will get lucky too.
    later people

      Oh oh oh, Mr. Kotter!!! Pick me, pick me!

      Looks like 3D rotation offsetting on the axis; much like a screw being turned. As you turn it, the screw moves forward on its axis. I think it\’s even called the screw theory.

      Owww, that hurt. Never mind how I remembered that; what the heck are you reading or doing to pull this out?!

        Watching that girl spiral triggered my \”twisted\” sense of humor \”Hey, she\’s getting screwed\” chuckle, (no porn intended) hence: the screw theory. You one smart mf CC!

    I thought the show as OK. I think it would have been cool to have Joanne explain what the hell a Tesla coil is and what, if anything, it does besides shoot cool looking sparks.

    Even been at ground zero of a lightning strike? It has happened to me three times. First time, I was running from my car at a rest stop in a shit-screaming thunderstorm, one of those ones where all you want to do is get off the road. I was headed for the shelter of the main rest area building. Ahead I saw a flagpole and a tree, and ran toward the tree, thinking that would be safer. I was maybe 30 feet from it when it took a direct hit.

    That was when I learned that lightning can be heard coming, for maybe a 20th of a second. I have friends who are scientists who say that’s not possible but I know what I heard, a whoosh right before the bang and flash. And I have heard it since. That day, I got hit with splinters but never stopped running. As I got to the building I encountered a fellow traveler, a biker who had pulled his cycle under an overhang right at the doorway. He was standing there puffing away on a nice fat doob and as I ran up he smiled, said, “Man, that was far out, you OK?” and offered it up, good-neighbor-of-the-road style. I must say it took the shakes out of my legs and restored my overly philosophical way of looking at things.

    After a trip or two like that, a Tesla coil loses some of its awesomeness, I guess.
