just Car Econ One. I was thinking about your say-so
on kinetic energy (which is totally preposterous,
for engineers).

given the shock abosrbers,
what is the general trajectory of the little eagle on the hood --
can it be solved with the (linear) Hooke's law of springs?

I say, no;
why would you say, Yes -- Ford was wrong!

Ford was wrong -- and I have translated Einstein
from German to English & back, again;
I am the greatest Dingleberry!

on the wayside o' the transuniversal 'opedia de net,
I may not "go over" when the googolplex changes it front-end
to the newsgroups, but you can pretend that I just "gave up,
arguing with a fool."

although, I'm going to miss arguing with the confirmerists and
the denierists in alt.global-warming. (you, sir, are one
of the former .-)
