Why did we ever dig that hole under the Channel ?
Well first they tried to dig the hole through the channel but it kept filling up with water. There was also a plan to dig the hole over the channel, but fortunately the administrators were sacked before anyone tried to implement this.

But what happened to the plan to use a line of large catapults to fling people and goods back and forth across the channel?

[Hmm... maybe I need to get on the same page as everyone else...]

The plans were stopped because the catapults were not big enough.

How can we build bigger catapults?

Why fly die?

Fly fly here, and fly fly there
Where fly fly, the fly don't care.
Sometime fly will close both eye
And fly into wall; then fly just die.

(Bible story good to hear, Bible make man to God fear)

You mean, besides the legs that straddle the bun ? No, not much.

Have you ever seen a cow get bored of chewing the cud and just spitting the damn thing out and getting a life ?
 
  • #1,456
Yes, you could see in its eyes the occurrence of an original thought. Shortly thereafter it did break through the fence in search of greener pastures.

Why do they call it Animal Husbandry?

NN thought that (the wine) might provide some (vibration) "damping".

I grew up in Cognito, Texas. It's up in the panhandle by Lubbock.
