Alright, with all this discussion regarding politicians and the like I want to point out an interesting truth that shows that the current leadership staff does not hold the patent on incompetence.
Did not a previous leadership pay around $10 million for NASA to invent a pen that would write in zero gravity? And an even greater feature with this pen is that you could write in 300 degrees Celsius!! Wow! Awesome. And what could you write when your body is surrounded by that much heat? "Help! I am turning into ashes!" Meanwhile, our fellow Russian astronauts conquered the challenge of not being able to document their missions by bringing a pencil.
Hmmm. What has Harvard, Princeton, and Yale been teaching all this time?

Ricke, The Cosmonauts didn't take their pencils outside of the ship, where they would freeze or get too hot and the lead would melt.  And, just to set the story straight, since we have been surrounded by numbers that sound good, but may in fact not bear any real relevance to the actual items. The pen cost $1.5 million to develop. NASA never paid a penny for it (development costs, they paid $2.95 per pen in quantity of 400 in 1967) Both the U.S. and Russians used it, and still do. It was made by Fisher and called the Fisher Space Pen, and you could buy them commercially as well. Still can: http://www.spacepen.com/http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.aspRegards Gary
I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

John,
I really want to apologize for some of the people on this forum, but I can't.
All I can say is that I don't have any problems with Canada or my Canadian neighbors. We're different countries with different views on issues, and that is the choice of the citizens of those countries.
I worry that some of the conversations that have come up are showing an increasing 'not invented here' sort of mentality.
In our country, the division between left and right is growing stronger every day. I've been in a thread where logical, fact based information is beaten down by 'you're just stupid because you're a xxxxxxxx, and you have lost your mind, and you don't.....' A lot of crap that 'civilized' people would never stand for. Unfortunately, I see the same thing in this forum, not only within our own country, but now, country versus country over the political views of one or another.
I would ask the question 'Why can't we just all get along?' but unfortunately, I know the answer to that, and I also know that it is not going to get any better, it's only going to get worse.
As a Bible believing, God fearing man, I find myself wondering if this is truly our end times. Since God has said that no one knows when Christ will return, I have no way of knowing, or even formulating a guess. But, I do know that if things continue such as I see them going here, but on a global scale, that we're either going to blow ourselves up, or it is the end of the world as we know it. The two might not be too far apart.
For the record, I know that if I survive until the return, then I will be in a better place, transformed with a new body. If I die first, I will arise with a new body. I do not wish to die, there is still work yet to be done, but I find myself looking at the world, and wondering how much more this planet can stand before it comes apart at the seams.
Gary

Most outrageous stories are urban-legend type things. Someone makes it up just to get people pissed. Like the Air Force's $1200 toliet seat.
And the MacDonald's hot coffee lawsuit. A jury didn't really give a woman $50,000,000 because she was so dumb she spilled coffee on herself. You can google up the real facts on it.

Rubberball, Have you ever seen that toilet seat? First, it's not the Air Force's, it's the Navy. Secondly, it fits inside of a P-3 Orion patrol aircraft. Thirdly, it's not the 'normal' toilet seat you would expect to find in your bathroom. It's an entire wall, seat and floor panel that goes from the top of the aircraft, down along the bulkhead, across the toilet, around, and then down to the floor. It is over 6' tall, 4' wide, and about 2' deep, and yes, does include the standard 'seat' part built in a part of the unit. "Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger was deep into a lengthy report before the Senate Armed Services Committee on the new Pentagon budget. He had just pointed out that the Department of Defense was the first to uncover such military expenditures as a $400 claw hammer and a $9,000 wrench when Maine's Republican Senator William Cohen said, "I'm fascinated to hear all this, but I'm told there's now a problem with a $600 toilet seat." This, Cohen deadpanned, "gives new meaning to the word throne." The item in question was not precisely a toilet seat but a corrosion- resistan t plastic case that fits over a toilet. It is used aboard the Navy's P-3C Orion antisubmarine planes. Republican Senator William Roth of Delaware, chairman of the Governmental Affairs Committee, which looks into suspected cost overruns, had been conducting an investigation of the accessory. Roth was tipped off by a contractor in Washington State who had been asked to bid on the toilet unit in January. When the contractor learned that Lockheed Corp. was charging $34,560 for 54 toilet covers, he wrote a letter to Roth contending that the units could be purchased at most trailer- home sales outlets for about $25. In a cable to the Pentagon last week, Lockheed President Lawrence Kitchen insisted that his company had made only a 13.4% profit on the units. Nevertheless, he eventually lowered the price of the covers to $100 apiece and gave the DOD a $29,165 refund. "This action is intended to put to rest an artificial issue," said Kitchen, "that detracts from the critically important ongoing review of the 1986 DOD budget." Senator Roth, on the other hand, might have felt he was getting to the bottom of the whole defense- spending issue. Read more: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,960748,00.html#ixzz0j6t0CwPn" I encourage you to make sure that you know what you're talking about before spouting off some figures that you're unaware of. *I*, for one, have seen the piece that they are talking about, and my father, having flown countless hours in the P-3 aircraft, probably has substantial 'interface' with such a device. Since people are fed 'tidbits' of information, or hear soundbites about something, and do not know the entire story, they spread this disinformation around, touting it to be 'the truth' and in fact, are often wrong and to those in the know, usually end up looking foolish. I present the true facts to you as an example of how throwing out information that can be easily checked can come back to haunt you, in the hopes that if you're going to make a statement like this, in the future, you at least see if it's accurate. Warmest regards, Gary

Pencils were used both by the Americans and the Russians and were a hazard inside the capsules because the lead broke off and would float around and get into the eyes and noses of the occupants and into the electrical components where it could cause shorts.
As Gary points out the information debunking this was already out there and the OP could have done a little research before making his post. I wish more people would do such before putting false information out there to make a point and then making others do the research for them.

Hi Keith,
Sometimes, I just like to have fun. Some recent posts have become very inflamatory lately. It was my goofy attempt at having fun to take away some of the heat that has recently arisen. It was my thought that if we could pull out some old hoaxes it would create a few laughs. My apologies to you all that did not take it that way.
I feel bad that somehow we arrived at this "us" versus "them" heat. It reminds me of a real life "Canadian Bacon" scene. Soon, there will be news stories of a lost American border patroller coming over the wire! (reference to the movie).
Anyway, I have never laughed louder than I did when I was able to watch the Red Green Show until they took it off the public station where I live. The whole cast is a complete crack up. I love the guy who owns the "Sewer and Septic Sucking Systems" business. Duct Tape Rules!!!
Thanks,
RickeG
P.S. "Blessed are the peacemakers... for they chall be called the sons of God."

Exactly what I mean - people oversimplify (or plain lie) to make a story sound outrageous.
I usually just lie to get out dumb stuff I did.

Rubber,
If I misconstrued your post, not seeing the humor, or sarcasm in it, I apologize. I thought it was a straight up post.

Amen, rharv. I have kept my stick on the ice ever since! Man, I was not sure what created the hilarious laughter out of me while watching Red and his hokey inventions. Was it that they were just plain funny? Or, was it that those ideas actually could work! I remember when he busted the floor board of his car, duct taped a jack where he was able to lift his car off the ground, turn it to its side, lower it, and drive out of that tight cramped parking spot. And he would do it from inside his car! I cannot go to the mall and not laugh thinking about the practicality of that idea! And it has been almost ten years since I have seen that! Humor is good medicine for the soul, while a contentious spirit dries up the bones! BTW, you can buy their shows on DVD. It's just way out of my price budget. Canadians much a whole lot more money than I do.

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound!
