Me thinks that you are whatever you are doing at this very moment. What you have done in the past, and what you may do in the future, are irrelevant. I've driven a race car...yet I am not a race car driver. I may again drive a race car but I'll never be a race car driver, per se. I think too many people limit themselves with their self-classifications.

I've read that even small bouts of oxygen deprivation, ie. holding one's breath, can negatively effect the blood vessels of the eyes.

When it comes to an IQ test, is guessing right luck or are you subconsciously correct? I took an IQ test once and got all the pattern matching questions correct. I guessed at each one of them though. Had I guess at all of them and got up to or slightly higher than 50% correct then I would say that it is chance. Whereas I got them all right one could say that I was able to discern the right answer without actually being aware of why it was correct consciously. An innate ability as it were. The problem I have with IQ tests is that they also measure learned knowledge, vice just raw intellectual ability. If I don't know what a prime number is, and can't pick the next number in a sequence of prime numbers, it's not necessarily because I'm unintelligent. It's more that I'm uneducated. Likewise, if I can't complete an analogy containing the word 'mendacious' it isn't because I am unintelligent. I just didn't know what 'mendacious' means.

Yeah, sure you "bought" it.

God, Faf is an idiot. Humble people of England, please don't judge us all based on that idiot. We are not all so stupid as the great Fafalone.

VHS??? DVD my friend!

I recommend something containing maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate that is rich in glucose polymers and that is easily and quickly digested and absorbed.

I am willing to bet that those who attend church regularly enjoy a prolonged lifespan only because they typically do not partake in the types of risky behavior that might serve to shorten their lives. They don't smoke, drink, do drugs, drink and drive, etc.

Why cannot the big bang, evolution, and god all co-exist? Who is to say that the big bang and evolution are not the methods by which god created and continues to fine tune the universe? I personally don't believe this though. Whereas science and religion are comparable, with regards to the level of faith that is generally required, at least science consistently and constantly tries to prove itself. Religion is the opposite in that it tries to quell further investigation which would only uncover inconsistencies and promote doubt.

Is it a flat K&N or a conical? If it's the former, get a cold air induction kit with a conical filter. You will be amazed. It's good cheap horsepower and the car will have much better throttle response (not to mention gas mileage).

No, more horsepower doesn't necessarily mean higher top speed. It is certainly a good surface evaluator though. As the horsepower rating rises so too, usually, does the top speed. Though leary, I cannot definitively say that there is no way you achieved 142. A cold air induction kit with a conical filter might afford you the extra performance, over stock, to achieve that. By the way, if you haven't done that I wholeheartedly recommend that. I used a BBK cold air induction kit which came with a K&N conical filter. I think I paid about $125 for all of that. Also, change out your fuel pump with a stronger one. They put 30lb injectors in the Mustangs but the fuel pump is too weak to feed it at high speeds. A nice strong fuel pump will keep you going strong once in excess of 100mph. Look for a good tuning shop too. A good tune-up can yield you up to 30 more HP pretty cheaply. As for 180, I stand firm that no stock Mustang GT is capable of 180. Like I said, I had a 2001 supercharged Saleen, which is a supe'd up GT, and it only did about 160 tops. Maybe 165. To hit 180, either of these cars (Saleen or stock GT) would require significant work ($$$). You could maybe rebuild the engine, adding forged parts, and lowering the compression ration, so that you could use a nitro kit in conjunction with a supercharger. You are talking probably 15K easy for all that though. Don't get me wrong Faf, I share your need for speed. I've told a tall tail or two in my day too I couldn't let the 180 things slide though

My bad, you said 397 RWHP. So you must be putting down well over 450 at the crank. The new Cobra is only about 425.

Yes but you can get from A to B faster while still being safe.

Like I said, top speed is possible only in ideal conditions. Aside of the car being perfectly tuned, air temperature would have to be approx. 55F and dry, and road conditions would have to be perfect (smooth with no grade). As for the 180mph issue...NO! Your car cannot go that fast, limiter or not!!!!! Like I said earlier, Z06's don't even do 180mph. You don't start seeing speeds like that until Vipers and Lambourghinis. I had an '01 supercharged Saleen and that only did about 160 mph max. My C32, which has 350HP (90 more HP than you have) only does 165mph. Check out this URL. It gives the top speeds for many cars: http://www.car-videos.com/performance/top_speed.asp

I stand corrected. The limiter is certainly not set at 110mph. I remember having the Saleen up to about 120 one day. Whereas Mustang GT's only have a top speed between 139-142mph I'm fairly certain that it's not set to 150! And that is 139-142 under ideal conditions. I think I remember hearing that the limiter is set to 135. So, you still sticking with the story that you were doing 150 with the potential of going 180?

I had a supercharged Saleen and I ended up trading it in for a Mercedes C32. I loved the Saleen, and thought about trading it in for the new SVT Cobra, but ultimately I decided I needed something with 4 doors. The C32 is an AMG, and actually performs on par with (if not better than) the Saleen, so I went with that. I would have gone with the Cobra over an M3 though. As far as you beating the new Cobra in your Z....that guy probably didn't know how to drive. Your car sounds tight but the new Cobra is a beast.

STOP LYING Fafalone!!!! The limiter on a Mustang is set at 110mph...not 150mph!!! And your Mustang GT will never do 150mph....much less 180mph!!! A supercharged Saleen Mustang (S281), will only do 157mph tops. A new Z06, and I quote from Corvette's web page, "...a top speed that has exceeded over 170 mph on a test track."

I view the Matrix as being symbolic of our world today. You have a symbiotic relationship, between machines and humans, that is very similar to that which exists between government and the populace. The government, like the Matrix, attempts to lull us into believe in a reality that will facilitate their (the government's) needs. They feed off of us for their survival, afterall, and must convince us that it is a mutually beneficial relationship.

Off subject...but I like the quote Franklin

There are two ways of looking at this (referring to Twin A, B, and their clocks). You can note the time difference of the clocks upon Twin B's return and say that time itself slowed....Or you could postulate that Twin B's clock succumbed to some natural property, associated with travelling at speed x, which caused it to run slower. The latter seems to make much more sense then does the former. Think about how a clock works for a minute. It doesn't determine time by measuring anything tangible in which less or more of it will effect the reading of the clock. It is simply set to count at a certain increment. I would doubt the mechanics of such a device before I would presuppose that time itself had changed.

I'm using Mozilla (Redhat 9) and I got a timeout. I can't imagine Verisign could have it set up world-wide to do this. Maybe they have agreements with certain ISP's to route unregistered domain names to them?

Much like building on a shaky foundation. As you build up and up the foundation becomes less and less able to support the building. The foundation will eventually give way and bring the whole house down!

Not affended at all

Excellent deduction though Blike.

I thought about all the different possible methods of measurement (ie. scale, balance, water displacement, etc). The it occurred to me that though the contaminate pills weigh more they could be smaller, the same size, or larger than the other pills depending on their density. If they weigh more and are larger then less of them will fit in the bottle. Weight may not necessarily change. I think this is more a question to gauge problem solving methods. It doesn't seem to be reasonably answered with the given facts and guidelines.
