    Someone recently told me If you drop and fire a live round they will hit the ground at the same time. Sorry all I could think of.

    This is a good “mind-blower”, but it is only exactly true in a vacuum.

    Of more interest to me is a 4CD + blueray box set marking the 50th anniversary of Frank Zappa's Overnite Sensation out at the beginning of November.

    You can fit the entire U.S. population into its 30 NFL stadiums of you let people stand on the pitch and not just in the stands.
    So stadiums now hold 11 million people each? Probably your biggest error ever, off by two entire orders of magnitude plus some.

    Almost, indeed.

    Yep. On the mindblowing front, my claim is so near but so far.

    Almost mindblowing.
    Nevermind how he doubled the value of Twitter within 24 hours of buying it, rocket scientist Elon Musk is set to be the first person to land a manned electric car on Mars.

    The tilt and revolutions and orbit of the Earth are mindblowing. But these 24-hour long days in Summer at the equator are just relentless.

    A patent has already been taken out on "trioreo", a three channel audio system that will one day replace "stereo" if people should happen to evolve in a way that would make it necessary.
