This is such a cool gadget, an rc Millennium Falcon drone (though they say the flying capabilities of it is not as good as a regular drone):

(the flight demo starts at 7m 45s into the video)
And there's even a larger version, which I guess have even worse flying capabilities :oldbiggrin: :

How many days did it take to fire a steam before you could drive her?

I don't think it would take days unless it was stone cold from a complete overhaul and needed a complete systems check.

I saw a couple of videos of people being annoying with scammers, and I stumbled upon this one which I thought was very funny. The scam is a classic Nigerian advance-fee scam, and the guy is hilariously annoying, playing stupid and says funny things in the email conversation with the scammer. I laughed several times, and I also like his wonderful British accent :smile:.

Where is the post on this? Am I missing your German sense of humour again?
It's simply a quote from MIB (part 1) - admittedly sloppy arranged. I guess I would have been more careful if it had been my favorite agent F who had said it. Anyway: here is a probe of my strange sense of humor (I don't think it is German, it's more a mixture of Douglas Adams, Monty Python and Dadaism):

... number nine ... number nine ... number nine ...

I tried Back in the USSR on organ ... "I'm so tired" is also a good one: fits in my list above ...
... and I could have bet that Maxwell's Silver Hammer was on the White, too. Strange, it would have fit much better there than on Abbey Road.

Trying to think of the tracks. Cry baby cry on there? Loved that song, he was the master of that chromatic descending bass line.
Yeah Maxwell was pure macca making stuff up, John had troubles with that
