When I was a kid driving the gravel logging roads at night while drinking beer was considered normal teen behavior. One night a few of my friends were sipping Rainers and driving the mainline in my buddy's Camaro. They happened upon a deer traveling the same direction they were along the side of the road. They sped up and the deer sped up but they were faster so soon they were side by each. One of the gang commented that it might be entertaining to grab the deer's tail.

Quick as a bunny, the window was rolled down and the passenger seat volunteer reached out and grabbed the tail. WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!! The volunteer released the deer as the boys learned that a deer can mule kick with both hind feet while running.

And that's how those dents and scratches appeared on my buddy's Camaro door.

My brother and a few of his friends were out hunting once and on the way to the hunting spot (before the sun was up) they saw a deer on the side of the road so they pulled over and one guy got out with his rifle and shot the deer (I'm not here to discuss the morals/legality of it, I didn't/don't approve). The deer dropped in the gulley between the trees and the road, they hop back in the car and drive up there and get out and walk down to the deer, turns out the deer isn't dead and is trying to get up then, they see headlights down the road.

Given it was too early to be hunting and what they did was illegal and this deer is about to get up and run who knows where with a hole in him while this car is driving by they decided to take action! One of the guys literally jumped into the ditch and tackled the deer! He apparently got it back to the ground and then he laid there holding it down. The car coming down the road turned out to be a farmer in his truck and when he saw them he stopped in the road (luckily) and starts talking to my brother and one of the guys, who are now standing between the truck and the car (street side), meanwhile, their friend is wrestling a deer in the ditch on the other side of the car...:ROFLMAO:.

Eventually, the farmer drove away and they finished the job.
 
Maybe Mike will come clean up this mess...

Now, back on topic...and I hope it's a repost

how high will a pipe be in the air if it goes around the world at the equator and you add one extra twenty feet long joint of pipe?
It would buckle and sink into the ocean, but assuming it was adequately supported the pipe would be 38.376235653033262837272097443198" high, accounting for the 1/8" gap and the sticks are 20'-1" long. I'd just call it 38 3/8", I'm not that much for precision.

Reminds me of playing with my nephew when he was very young. He is well into genius IQ but even as a child was very literal minded. I asked him, "If there were ten birds on a wire and one decided to fly off how many birds are still on the wire?" The answer is ten of course, I didn't say any flew. After catching him on that I asked him, "OK, one flew off. Now how many are left?" The answer isn't nine. Everyone knows when one flies they all fly!

But when one flies and the others react and follow, there is a moment when the initial one is off the wire and the others remain.
