Apparently, chimps will laugh at things that aren't really funny as well, for social reasons.

either that or they have a 'twisted' sense of humour

thanks for sharing Zen

hmm trivia, quite well known but when Jimi Hendrix jammed with Eric Clapton, mr Clapton was said to have stopped playing & stood back to listen in amazement. mr Hendrix was once quoted as saying something like, Eric is the best guitarist around.. i forget the specifics sadly , but like the idea they had such mutual respect.
& of course when cream broke up, Jimi stopped his own live TV performance to play an impromptu & spirited version of 'sunshine of your love', much to the annoyance of those squares running the TV show

My great grandpa is buried in the same cemetery as Jimi Hendrix.

In 10th-century Burma, King Theinhko ate a farmer’s cucumbers without permission. The farmer killed the king and took the throne.

I love Feynman.

burmese farmers, it seems, don't take no cr@p..

apparently if a burmese fellow says to you 'i see your department store is open, even on weekends' it means you're 'flying low'

thanks Mdyar will watch now.

Katrina Mumaw, from Lancaster, California, is a United States Air Force Academy graduate. On July 12, 1994, at the age of eleven, she became the youngest person to pilot a Russian MIG-29 fighter jet and also the youngest to break the sound barrier. She first flew a Aero L-39 Albatros together with her instructor Vladimir Danilenko to prove she'd be able to handle the MIG safely. She satisfied the instructor and subsequently flew the MIG-29UB two-seat trainer to a speed of Mach 1.3 (940 mph).

She became interested in becoming a pilot when she met Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan at the age of three after one of their last test flights of the Rutan Voyager, the first plane to fly nonstop around the world without refueling. Her first flight as a passenger occurred when she was 5 and when she became aware of the Air Force Academy, she was determined to study there and although her admittance was delayed by a dental malocclusion she was eventually accepted. She graduated from the academy on May 31, 2006 with a bachelor's degree in behavioral science/human factors engineering.

Mumaw first started piloting by competing in mock air combats at the age of eight and she held the record for the most victories in mock dogfights. She was also the youngest person to pilot a BD-10 (a prototype of the aircraft seen in the James Bond movie Octopussy) in 1993.

Because of her records, Mumaw has appeared in print publications and television programs including Sports Illustrated and Ripley's Believe it or Not!.

I don't understand.... What does it mean?

This is for anyone who likes welding.

As you can see by the diagram of the MMA welding process, in black block capitals towards the bottom left of the picture, the component is clearly stated as the 'Base Metal'. Although this diagram and many diagrams like it (very often found in professional fabrication and welding textbooks and guides) call this the 'Base Metal', it is in fact technically called the Parent Metal.

What has that got to do with a department store being open on weekends?

Great guitar playing! I love the slapping at the start of the first video and the second video simply makes me want a steel stringed acoustic. Damn, I need a steel stringed acoustic!

On the topic of blues, I remember something once said by Seasick Steve about the differences between Tramps, Bums and Hobos.

* A tramp is a homeless person that will travel around and not look for work, usually supporting themself by begging and scavenging.

* A Bum is a homeless person that will not travel, and prefers to stay in one place and beg.

* A Hobo is a homeless person that travels around, looking for work.
