    Well, that is technically "posting on an existing topic", I suppose. Not on the correct existing topic, but it's a start.

    Here's a myth for you... i figured if you take a full ro-mag generator (50 HP equivalent output), and hook up a capacitor worthy of the charge and a fuse box to feed off of (say Square D 120) x times whatever is scientifically necessary to power, say, a house, it should be possible to do so?! And if not, would it be possible to take a smaller-scale (mini-romag) generator & charge a car battery? This could be a good answer to the economy problem, I think...

    Mexican Standoff - In the movies, a Mexican standoff assumes each party's risk is equal and lethal, so Everyone has to back down. How about a breakdown of what would likely happen as you increase the scenario from 2 persons with guns pointed at each other to five people. The Myth suggests everybody dies (assuming perfect aim and instant death) So wouldn't you want to shoot first in a two person stand-off? And in a three person standoff; wouldn't you hope to be the second shooter and not the victim of the first shooter? Somebody start shootin' and figure this thing out!

    Roll Eyes Lol... I don't even think ALL-CAPS would've helped some people understand the original post.

    Well, on the plus side, I'd say Britt and his/her finance are well suited for each other: one believes you can be decapitated by a seat belt, the other can't follow simple instructions.

    you could be decapitated if you were sitting in an odd position during a really high speed wreck.
