I refuse to believe (GET IT?) this is for real. It can't be. Just no. Wrong.

How come no one ever draws and quarters someone? They have people drawn and quartered all the time; but never hear anyone telling of doing it.

"I shall draw and quarter you!"
"I shall have you drawn and quartered!"

I must admit, having it done certainly sounds better. Wonder if there was ever anyone who claimed they would have it done, but then had to do it themselves? Now that would be embarrassing.

Lacerda did draw me once, but he never gave me any quarters.

I'm a big proponent of the old 'tar and feather' option.

Heh. Tar and feathers. Reminds me of my early years, standing too close to the freshly paved potholes at the corner in that long-ass boa I used to have.

I hate cramming for tests. I'm almost done, which is good, because my exam is on weds. After going over 430 practice questions and still having another 250 left, I'm starting to feel burned out.

From which orifice did you pull this nugget of wisdom?

It was a joke, but I did hear something on the news, whether it was true or not I do not know, but they were saying they weren't sure if they were his or not until he was convicted. But that was right after it happened.

Why do I have to go and get really sick the day before a non-refundable, non-resceduleable exam? I hate my immune system. I swear, it's out to get me.

Is it for a job or something? Why is it not reschedulable?

You can modify several brands of nail guns into fully functional automatic weapons (capable of firing standard ammunition)!

It's the Security+ exam and if you want to reschedule, you need to do it 24 hours in advance. I missed the cut by a few hours.

Gotta burn one, eh?

Canada has the most potheads! w00t!

That's awesome! Does anyone know roughly how hot the spark gap in an automotive sparkplug is?

12AX7 · « **Reply #2566 on:** July 11, 2007, 02:05:00 AM »

Not to be facetious.... click here
More specifically:

"Q: What is the operating temperature of a spark plug tip?

Whether a spark plug is installed in a lawn mower, boat, truck, or race car, the plug tip temperature must remain between 450° C and 850° C. If the tip temperature is below 450°C, the insulator area surrounding the center electrode will not be hot enough to burn off carbon and combustion chamber deposits. These deposits will accumulate and foul the plug gap, leading to a misfire. When the tip temperature exceeds 850°C, the ceramic around the tip will blister and the electrodes will melt. Preignition and detonation caused by the overheatede tip are likely to cause engine damage.
The borderline netween the fouling and operating regions (450°C) is called the spark plug self-cleaning region. This is the temperature at which the accumulated deposits burn off of the center insulator. A function of temperature only, the self-cleaning region has no relationship to spark quality or intensity."

Thanks a pile, I actually did google "spark plug temperature" and "spark plug temperature gap" a few times unsuccessfully. I guess this means I'll have to go back to the magnesium ignitor...

Probably so.

My sources say yes. Have you said anything like "Fuck Vista" recently?
