The answer is an obvious YES. I don't know how this thread got as big
as it did :^)

Because it is interesting, and evokes thought.

Obviously, the answer is not so obvious! What surprises me is that there are
more than TWO opinions!!! :-)
You would think that the airplane would either take off or it wouldn't!?!
Anyway, reading/participating in this
thread is much more interesting than reading the usual flames in various
newsgroups. It's surprising and refreshing
that this thread, with so many posts, hasn't (yet) degraded into a
flame-fest. )

Shockingly, no one has even called anyone a Nazi yet, nor has anyone
called me a troll for posting this and then departing for the weekend
without checking back to see if there were any replies. :-)

All right, dammit, you're a Nazi and a troll. And I'm taking off for a
couple of days. Satisfied?

It's one of those strange Usenet phenomena.

How do start a big argument on Usenet? Ask a simple question.

It would be fun to see this worked out on 'Mythbusters'.

How would wiring a treadmill up to explode solve anything? g
