There, see what I mean about no control. The word just popped out. No choice, no plan, just a product of your natural progression... The same as my words.

The difference is that my words, or in this case, word, are and is, accurate.

I can see how, if you look at this from a low angle, straight down the bars, might look like this, if there were ever a version in which the central black parts were much, much thinner.

Well, we all have our priorities which will differ from person to person.
I must comfess than my 21" CRT-monitor is a bit fuzzier than any of my three TFT-screens, but it serves its purpose well enough when I'm coding progammes. I've been planning on throwing it out, but I never seem to get my butt off to the store to buy a wide-screen replacement (which needs to have full HD resolution).
The CRT is a real electricity hog, drawing 100+ W.

Presently, I pay $0,21/KWh which I think sucks. A few years ago it was half that price.

What I thought was a little coincidental about your description was that both the Americans and the Germans actually built and tested flying wings during WWII. Some interesting pictures:

Horten-Gotha 229 Luftwaffe WWII

Northrop N M 1 aircraft WWII

Northrop XP 56 secret American fighter during WWII

Northrop XP 79 secret American plane during WWII

Northrop MX-324 Rocket research aircraft WWII

I think nutcase is gonna tell you that these incredible creations were merely natural progression If you can figure that out, more power to you. He obviously doesn't figure that mothers have a starring role in the fabrication of people out of foodstuff!


bngbuck

Thanks.

Also - I don't see a German cross on the Northrop photo, just the USAF emblem from the 1950s. This brings to mind - the Horton brothers working for Gotha made flying wing prototypes for Hitler's Luftwaffe in WWII one of which was pretty sophisticated and jet powered, but its a misnomer that Northrop wings were copied from them. Actually, despite appearances, the Northrop wings were not directly influenced from captured German planes and Jack Northrop solved the center-of-gravity balance and prop-extension shaft problems in his earlier wings before the Horton brothers did. Sometimes design solutions create similar appearances from two separate groups working on the same problems.

One other digression that filthy, Dr. Mabuse and few others might also know of or find interesting about "Jack" Northrop - aircraft designer and industrialist: His love of flying wing designs was honored by geologist Douglas A. Lawson who named the fossil of a giant tailless pterosaur "Quetzalcoatlus northropi" in honor of Northrop's tailless aircraft designs which resembled Quetzalcoatlus.

Yes - mothers create offspring (some of whom also become moms) and they in turn grow, learn and create new wonders, such as the three examples I posted.

Don't forget the Quetzalcoatlus Hortonii, Chip:
