It is because a certain power engine is not on line right now... so everything has really slowed down. When the majestic lump returns all will go back to nor...m....a...l............h ........i...........s...........i...............n...........p...........u................t..................................is (ooooo watch the hiccup there) i...s ..........ne............ed.............ed........ (note the repetition of the phrase ed ed )
Now that would have been a better idea jno! But knowing my luck, the cat would have walked over the keyboard whilst we were out & zapped it anyway, he, he!
LOL B00... elastic bands eh ? Now what other sorts of power drives do we have on here now.... I've got some cogs (aka gears) that the Ed can borrow if s/he needs them... I can also lay my grubby paws on a few coal smalls if required... lump or dust ? And as for wind power...well, see T's post on SciNews Weekly ! Solar power anybody ?
Can't believe you forgot Harold the Hamster Jugglering. All that furious legwork he's putting in on the wheel (which the elastic band is attached to) and he gets no recognition.
