Roads...
So it turns out I may have been wrong about the whole plane thing. The 'it-would-fly-anyway-you-pillock' theory seems to have won the day. Can't always be right though can you?
I got really worried the other day about whether roads or pavements are the natural level of the Earth. I mean, to they dig-down to create roads or bulid up from the Earth to create paths!? And it so, where is all the Earth they move going from/coming too!?!
Althoug the worrying was stopped on Wednesday when Metal Hammer sent me a ext saying I have won a competition I entered by txt. Four tkts for Hammerfest thank you very much! I never win anything, apart from the odd tenner on the lottery. So its off to sunny Pontins (I know...) at the end of April. A festival in a hut. Now thats luxery!

So have been having this debate with my brother for the last day or so about somethign he saw on 'Mythbusters'. I don't normally have an issue with what these guys do - as far as I am concerned if they say something is true then thats the way it is! But with this one I am struggling:
If an plane is on a conveyor belt which matches the speed of the plane only in the opposite direction. Would the plane take off? The guys on MB (and my brother) say that it would, but I can't make this work in my head in any way shape or form! Surely the plane would stay still and therefore no air movement over the wings and no flight!?!
Of course, A saturday night of for my otherhalfs birthday may not be helping the thought process....

Starting Blogging
It funny how with 5 minutes left of your lunch break you decide that taking new things on is a good idea! Still, You tend to do these things, esp on a Friday and given that I have tomorrow off work then I think this counts...
