The message from Austin Shackles contains these words:
Only when they're bored stiff. I suggest a wind turbine placed about the parliaments of Europe to catch the updraught.
Howzat jbex then? I can spit a fair distance but can't see how dogs inna wheel would make the spit go farther.
The message from "Jamie Hart" contains these words:
If they taste as bad as they sound then you'll want to spit as far as you can.
Perhaps, but only if it was supercharged.
I remember many years ago learning that 1hp = 746 Watts. There, another bit of useless info put to good use!! Cheers ray.
