totally parallel to each other. glue a polished copper disk on one end
and a disk with a 3 inch hole on the other. Make sure these disks are
aligned with a laser pointer or something. melt some salt so when it
cools it looks like a 4 inch dish about an inch thick. glue it onto
the hole. Attach your bolt style electrodes into the cavity. So the
whole thing looks like a regular laser but bigger. Pump out the air,
backfill with co2 laser gas at 100-400 torrs. Hoist this thing on top
of tree. You have one electrode at ground and the other has magnet
wire the end of this magnet wire is a rocket from estes or something.
when a storm comes around and the lightning is close you know what to
do. I read that a lightning strike contains over a billion joules of
energy!! just multiply that by the standard co2 conVersion efficiency
of 20% and you got yourself a laser that can make startrek captains
drool.
It this really going to work? Why make that dish out of salt? And hoisting the thing up on a tree and waiting for lightning to strike sounds kind of iffy... If will be really cool if it worked, though.

Talking about the bane of mankind, the scum of the earth, the most awful thing on the planet, yes, I mean Country and Western Music.. the current Mrs GT and I won a competition in one of the wife's magazines for an all expenses luxury hotel break at a really nice top quality hotel in York (which for you Americans and other geographically challenged types, is a lovely mediaval city in the north of England).

We turned up, were shown our room that had roll top bath, four poster bed etc, all very swish, we walked out to the bar and the hotel weas full of cowboys and even had one bloke dressed up as a cheyenne warrior.

There only happended to be a line dancing convention in the same hotel..

Cue lock roomdoor, order room service, drink mini-bar and HIDE!!!

Well, I just placed my avatar thread into semi retirement. So I thought I'd drop by and have a round of drinks with my friends. Thanks, for helping me make the avatar thread the success it was.

This doesn't mean I'm leaving the forums, just that I'm focusing my talents on more interesting things. Most of you know what that is!

Cheers!

Edit: ..and with this post I have been promoted to Captain! (Timing is everything!)

Good movie, Jake & Elwood rules.


But I tend to agree with GT regarding C & W music.

I hereby propose to rewrite Article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to:

No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention, exile or Country & Western Music.

mlmbd, clearly you have been duped.
Shania Twain would never allow herself to be sold.

:: Pulls out a small tablet, a beem connects from the device to the music programing system, a voice booms out in maniacle laughter, we will now play 100 hours of Old Crying in my beer, My baby done left me, pick up driving songs. If you turn it off the canttina will be blown from hear to kingdom come ::
