Tom had scoffed seven years ago when a magazine editor suggested that one day rims would re/de-evolve to 40 inch wagon wheels. His friends had now gone a little too far to rub it in his face.
Any time you change the use of your home from its original plans, there are hoops you must jump through first. My last roommate/landlord had a slightly similar problem. He had an "Arizona room" which is an add-on that was a part of the house before he purchased it. He later enclosed the carport making it a garage, and one of the friendly neighbors sent an inspector to pay us a visit. He was told to submit plans for extending the existing walls of the carport, or face a fine. Another fine was given for not having submitted plans for the add-on, even though it was done by a previous owner. I learned (through his experience) to check before doing any major structural work on any house I may own in the future.
Nice detail work. I'll have to see how he made those. Must have access to a water jet cutter and more. Today I just completed a scrap metal dragon, I can imagine the large number of hours that had to go into each of those.
Now all kids can be part of the fantasy of growing up to be a Conan the Barbarian and riding their dinosaur around in a loincloth. I can imagine it now, gangs of the future battling for street supremacy while mounted on the back of their Velociraptors. And it started out so innocently! Seriously though, any kid would want one of those.
I had no idea I have been doing right by my brain this whole time. Perhaps the gray matter is taking extra nourishment at the expense of the wrists, eyes, and muscle atrophy brought on by hours spent on the net.
The Saturn V footage was stunning at that speed. My mind is boggling thinking of coming up with a material for the rocket nozzles that could transition from near ambient temperature to thousands of degrees in seconds, and remain intact. That's just one aspect of the thing, and it was built back when computing was still mostly a human function.
Oh, and anyone here ever heard the "I'm a Manatee" song by John Lithgow? Classic.
Wow. I sure am far down this list. I'd have to look through their selection of watches first if I were to actually win. I was just excited that I didn't let the contest time frame get away from me this time.
6 1/2. I knew one of the veggies that keeps coming back year after year, but not the other. I think Sumo wrestling would be an equally strong candidate for the sport question. Dweeb is also a word, albeit a slang term. My best guess for the unprocessed fruit/veggie was watermelon, because it is semi-rare to have anything made from it.

Is is just me, or did the explanatory captions go by way too fast? Not that I'm taking notes or anything.
