Houston, we got us a problem here.
Chickens don't fly so good.
Their wings are considered vestigial.

'Vestigial' will be your word of the day....
..when your opponent is running 'packs' on you...
...your Schon with the Mezz shaft and the Moori tip (original) and your
Kamui chalk starts to feel extremely vestigial.:angry::o:angry::o

Okay so it's really not supposed to be a trick question. It's a truck load full of a 100 hummingbirds and they all take flight inside their cages. Now what?

Just make sure they're not canaries or stool pigeons....
...they'll rat you out to the guy working the scale....
...hmm...and pigeons are sometimes called 'flying rats.


..being a trucker is fraught with problems...:frown:

I stand by the fact that if all the (bird of choice) were in the air, for that moment, the scale would read less. This assumes one of the open-air trailers, and not one sealed such that it's a closed system.

Maybe you're going for the equal and opposite reaction angle, and the air from beating wings is pushing down while propelling the birds up. In a closed system, sealed completely, the scale wouldn't change the reading. You'd also have a lot of dead (bird of choice).

Alright, that's what I was going for. A closed system was what I should have described. The answer is it would weigh the same.

I remember a kid in 4th grade described something large as GiHugey. The class roared.

When we got bored at work we used to leave a candy dish full of Harry Potter's Bertie Botts Every flavored beans from Jelly Belly. Well there are Vomit flavored and Booger flavored, Dirt, Black Pepper mixed in with the good flavors so it was like Jelly Bean Roulette.

I'll never forget the grand daughter picked a delicious one then the Grandma wasn't so lucky. She said, "Well these don't taste good at all!"

Three of us were trying so hard not to laugh, My pits were sweating.
Anyone that's ever tasted those know they taste exactly as described.

That's classic. I've never been a jelly bean fan and I'm glad I wasn't. Certain tastes make me literally wanna Earl. If someone woulda slipped me some vomit flavor jelly beans I woulda literally vomitted.

On the weird words, my younger sister was the queen of made up words. A couple that stick out were woodishy for porcelain and a steak knife was once called a knife fork.

2-0 Mariners.

Lotsa pretty ladies in the stands.I think they must fly south in the winter because you just don't see near as much beauty here as you do in the summer.
 
When I buy my next house, I'm going to check with everyone in the neighborhood and see if the teenagers are lazy or not. There's no way I'd say no to a random teen knocking on my door and asking if I wanted him/her to mow my yard. I refuse to call a landscaping business; it's not really that big a deal. I gamble and win or lose hundreds at a time... I wouldn't mind paying one of the little bastards around here $50 to do my yard, but they have to put forth the effort.
 
5-1 Ms

Been watching TAR 20,SVB v Earl.It seams to me that Earls antics are an act that allows him to feign being sharked so he can slow play his opponent while not seaming to be slow-playing in the classic sense.Diabolical.

Maybe when Earl plays a challenge match he should be locked in a room with just the table and not another soul for his turn at the table.Just cameras and padded walls.Maybe 2-way mirrored windows so the fans can watch.Earls opponent can enter and leave when its his turn and Earl can just stay in the room.

Many Regards,
