From what I've read, one of the biggest problems with hydrogen is in the fuel cell. I guess if you crack one of them open in an accident it looks like another space shuttle exploding.

I would suppose that a LNG tank would be about the same.

BTW, love your new Avatar. Where'd you get the picture of Sandy???

Think Hindenberg.

Just did a google search for Slim Pickens and Dr. Strangelove. A movie in my top five of all time.

DOH! Just got it. Slow on the uptake tonight. Found it doing a search for right wing lunatics who redeem themselves only with their love for good audio equipment. I was gonna say I found it on a men only dating site, but I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Regards,

D-Ray

The 2 speed gear boxes they used were not all that strong. I think for 2010 they switched to a single speed. Have seen no reports on that yet.

Man, what I wouldn't have given to have been on the set of "Strangelove"....Classic movie, & just BEING AROUND Sellers, Slim, George C., James Earl, Sterling, & Kubrick...Aww, man ! You just KNOW it was an Extremely Large Time...James Earl was the "Kid" then, but I have a feeling he coulda held his own w/all of 'em...

Reptiles have feeling too, at least in the physical sense.

Think I'll just slither in the other room for a Heineken.

Ever since I've lost all that weight from the gastric bypass surgery back in Feb-125 LBS + & counting, I don't look like me no more, either...(grin)

Congrats on that. I lost 60 and found most of it again in the ice cream section.
