Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #416

But, would it give them a competitive edge?
The answer, my friend, was blowin' in the wind.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #416

I've heard people complaining about computer fans louder than that (note: it was the complaining that was loud, the fans themselves were actually quite reasonable in my opinion).

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #416

It's a little late to be figuring how to cool down the pits in Disney*, but better late than never.

*or the gym at MARC.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #416

Ok, the first thought was "how much air can we push at 'ludicrous speed'?" The second was "did anybody bother to check what the max RPM before destruction specification might be?" Once they had their empirical data then it was a matter of burning some chalk to arrive at an equation that could render "ludicrous speed" from prop length and pitch knowing CIM free speed. Still waiting for that to be published.
When is face protection not enough?

"So if we build a fan that no one can see, can we use it to get better traction in Lunacy?"

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #416

You know, video editing technology has advanced quite a bit, so you never really can be sure of what you see..or don't see.

Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #416

The first tip for fans is to put a tip on them so you can see them as they spin. This must be done before they start spinning.

Update to my entry:

We all knew that 665's mentor was a Desk Pilot, but this crosses the line...
