  7. The former heavyweight champion said that back in 2009 he was in a hotel room with seven prostitutes, a morphine drip in his arm, a pile of cocaine and a bottle of cognac I wanna party with this guy lol.
  8. Because at the end of the day it was more of a prototype then a production-line ready fighter. The cost of hand installing (or figuring out how to automate) and maintaing the heat tiles at the engine outlets as well as sculpting the airframe (amongst other things) made it an impractical solution to implement RW. I think everyone generally agrees it was the best in terms of RCS, high speed maneuverability, and the other performance criteria (all still classified). The thing was apparently mind-bogglingly fast. Also these things generally come down to political considerations as much as anything.
  9. And now a brain to go along with it lol.

  19. :D I agree Speed-it's socio-economic as much as anything. I'm from Jordan but spent about 20 years in the U.S. (NYC, Western Mass, DC, New Orleans-my favorite). P.S. The article was written by an Englishmen who just recently became naturalized after living in New York for 15 years. Take from that what you will lol. Here is an interview: http://collectedmiscellany.com/2003/11/an-interview-with-john-derbyshire/
  20. Just awesome 316AzLYfAzw#!
  21. I hear you. You, unlike the author of the article, are not extrapolating your specific, unfortunate, and obviously difficult situation to an entire segment of the population.
