Ugh... There is a difference between physically having enough engine torque to pull a heavy trailered load and the tow vehicle having enough mass and tire contact area to maintain control stability. Undoubtedly, you can do the former with this Goldwing, but the mass of the vehicle being towed + trailer is a LOT higher than the motorcycle. If the trailer starts getting blown around in crosswinds, it could be very dangerous. This is a pretty stupid idea.
TYPO regarding the Star Spangled Banner tune: "Dedicated to the booze and babes-filled poetry of the Greek writer Anacreon, they composed a stirring, epic, and perhaps intentionally difficult-to-sing anthem for him in 1870."
OK, I posted my caption. That done, it's time to rag on the basic "art" at work here.
"Harrison has combined the legendary off-road vehicle with ‘Wild West’ wooden wheels to create a sculpture that is a mixture of art, engineering and motoring. For Harrison, the crux of the ‘Hummer’ is formed by both its ‘being’ and its afterlife."
Come on... the guy took a real off-the-lot production car and merely got a machine shop to make some hub adapters so that real wagon wheels (Amazon: www.amazon.com/Amish-Handcrafted-Authentic-Decorative-Hickory/dp/B0016AJ40A/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1224795475&sr=8-17) would temporarily bolt on the hubs for the show. That is a "sculpture" worthy of exhibit to the masses as serious art? It's a bit funny, I will admit, but in a farmshow (www.farmshow.com) kind of way. Actually, no, it's nt even up to their standards. Calling oneself a "sculptor" for such a project really stretched credulity a bit.
In 500 years will our descendants be able to see this alongside "the Elgin Marbles" in the British Museum? Ummmmm... maybe not.
Wait a minute... handguns are illegal in Britain. How could he have possibly killed her? They've got a peaceful kumbaya-humming land since the ban. Right?
Well, maybe not. Too bad she didn't have the right to properly arm herself for defense.
I'd have sent a letter back: "BLAH BLAH BLAH F-OFF! BLAH BLAH"
Something tells me that old Framingham State isn't quite at the standards of other New England institutions of higher learning, so you are going to be dealing with third tier students, alumni, and yes employees working on devising fund raising schemes.
The Adventure of the Bruce-Partington Plans was interesting both in that it centered around secret submarine plans and Sherlock's even-smarter brother Mycroft Holmes figured int he plot. It would have been a good one on this list.
Or how about any of the stories in the last series of stories, "The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes". The Casebook (1927) didn't come into the public domain (in teh US anyhow) until a couple of years ago, so the stories tend to be lesser known. They are also a little wackier [SPOILER ALERT!] including a story about a guy turning into a monkey from taking a drug derived from monkeys and another apart (seemingly anyhow) a vampire. Happy reading!
Pol x is correct. I wouldn't call that defection. He surrendered to the Americans and was taken prisoner. Essentially, he had the following following "opportunities":
1. Work for the Americans on missle technology in opposition to the Soviets. 2. Work for the Soviets on missle technology in oposition to the West. (He surrendered to the Americans to avoid the Soviets). 3. Be put on trial for war crimes for employing thousands of starving slave laborers (many of whom died) at Mittelwerk where Nazi V-2 rockets were produced.
By the time he surrendered, there was no longer any German government to defect from.
Oh, it's gonna be a lot worse for you than a a typical cheese burger. A typical cheeseburger has in addition to the meat, 1 slice of cheese between 2 pieces of bread (OK usually a roll but about the same amount of bread in any event). This badboy probably has 3 (at least 2) slices in EACH grilled cheese outer and the grilled cheese itself is well, grilled, which means frien in (usually) butter or some kind of oil.
Just the same, I'm psyched to make one. Looks yummy.
Geez, I had the smart ass "how can this be when the CIA wasn't formed until 1947" comment all typed up before I saw Lasse beat me by 3 hours. I really need to stop going to work during the daytime.

The date should be 1780....

Yes, Jeremy Brett did a fine Holmes. That was a nice series ... decent production values all around and ((usually) reasonably close to the stories.
It would have been great if Granada had produced adaptations of the entire "canon", but alas, Brett had to screw things up by dying. Bummer.
