Do you get wetter when you run through the rain or when you just walk?

That's a really tricky one. Clothed or naked? If clothed, then the water will penetrate better if you're moving faster.

That aside, conider the two extremes:

1. The fastest speed - the Speed of Light

The rain will be effectively stationary as you travel through it, so you'll pass through a volume of rain-filled air the shape of your body times the distance you travel.

2. The slowest speed - the Speed of Software Development (or me getting out of bed)

You'll pass through way more rain this way as you'll pass through the same volume but much slower, hence get wetter.

Conclusion: take your clothes off and run like hell to stay as dry as possible.

Hahaha well done Royston!

Underwater shot from Miami FL.



Kinda bad visibility, and everything is much greener in real life. Need inspiration? Go diving!

I remember what happened, of course (which is saying something, given my lifestyle at the time) - I was just pondering on what might be her destiny and fortunes in the years since...

There are too many peanuts in a 'mixed nut' selections.

There are too many mixed nuts in a Bush administration.

Ahhh - Now that's more like it. More like what I'd anticipated.

For some, all roads lead to the same place no matter what.

While visiting England, George W. Bush is invited to tea with the Queen. He asks her what her leadership philosophy is. She says that it is to surround herself with intelligent people. He asks how she knows if they're intelligent.

"I do so by asking them the right questions," says the Queen. "Allow me to demonstrate."

She phones Tony Blair and says, "Mr. Prime Minister. Please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is it?"

Tony Blair responds, "It's me, ma'am."

"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says the Queen. She hangs up and says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?"

"Yes ma'am. Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"

Upon returning to Washington, he decides he'd better put the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to the test. He summons Jesse Helms to the White House and says, "Senator Helms, I wonder if you can answer a question for me."

"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"

"Uh, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Helms hems and haws and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back to you?" Bush agrees, and Helms leaves. He immediately calls a meeting of other senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Helms calls Colin Powell at the State Department and explains his problem.

"Now look here Colin Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and this child is not your brother, or your sister. Who is it?" Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course, you dumb ass."

Much relieved, Helms rushes back to the White House and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's Colin Powell!"
And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong, you dumb ass, It's Tony Blair!"

God loves me because I guessed the real true religion. I work hard and earn more than a hundred times what an African makes. Thats because I really do work a hundred times harder. If there's any problems in the world it's because other people don't see how wise me and my people are. You can see how they could be very jealous of me / us.

simple really, isn't it?

hubird - wondered if you're planning to use the MDD w/ multiple Scope cards in it? I'm pretty sure you'd already know about the space limitation, but just thought I'd resurface that tidbit.

Thinking over this, I realize you named it already: Scope cards.
Are the pro Scope cards bigger than the Pulsars?
Wishfull thinking the problem only appears with larger Scope cards

(great thread, never hijacking ).

Not sure about this.

Assuming the rain falls vertically then you also need to consider the exposed area. If walking slowly the exposed area will largely be restricted to the top of your head.

If you go fast you'll expose the top of your head as well as the entire front of your body.

I think the slower method may be more successful.

You'd need to factor in body shape as well, not to mention how big & funky your hairstyle is..

Now, back off topic, I'm off to play at the Gympie Muster this week - should be fun

....and finally, Carn the Crows

Well, as we all know, Bob Moog died, RIP.

As a mark of respect i changed my nick from notbobmoog to TomOberheimOnE.

Unfortunately, i've been advised that my new nick could also be regarded as being rather disrespectfull.

Enter.... BombBlairNext

bomb blair next...
whilst i have no regard for what ol' tone has done or not done for this country (and others) i still don't think bombing him is gonna do any good for anyone - in fact it would probably martyr him - and that would be even worse!!

I think George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Tom Wolfowitz and Tony Blair are really great people. I was so wrong before - I invited them round for tea and biscuits and they proved to me that they are really top chaps. We played backgammon and had a pleasant chinwag.
