Relativistic Helicopters
Steven den Beste, who knows, like, everything, explains why you can't build a helicopter whose rotor moves faster than the speed of light.
So you might as well stop trying now, and take up basket-weaving.
Motley Cow
Blog of the day is Motley Cow. Your host for this evening is Zarathustra2101. No, I don't know what happened to the previous 2100 Zarathustras.
I'm sure I've seen that cow roaming around Sydney, by the way, but right now I can't find an appropriate link. Bah!
Lileks Is All
What the audience could not possibly know was that I was absolutely, completely, soaking wet.
Lileks, of course.
And it's Natalie. Doh!
Four!
Five if you count Harvey.
And the BloggerPeople seem to have fixed the Mozilla problem. Either that, or it was an ephemeral phenomenon like rainbows and butterflies, only less pretty and more annoying. New Improved Blogger seems to be working well. Maybe it's time to monkey with my template so I can get the archives back up.
Of course, it will still eat your posts whenever it feels like it. Damn and blast!
