"Planes"

Quite impressive really aren't they.

Getting a massive piece of metal to fly 30,000 thousand feet. I see lots of planes as the flight path for Glasgow Airport is right over my house... they're not too low or high... it's strange they look really small but hundreds of people are on them.

So that's today's lesson

Planes = Impressive

Yeah, I know where it is, I go to school near it, I can see it from the road near my house. But not as many planes there as there is in Johnston and Elderslie, or Neilston and Uplawmoor which are just over the Glennifer Braes from the airport.

Man, that thing is lethal, I tell ya! I suppose it might been a little my fault when I was told not to touch anything metal, but wasn't listening......

ahh the bernoulli effect/principle somehow more interesting than thermal and statistical physics or quantum physics.
Yet not as cool as playing with a Van Der Graff generator- electrifying stuff :)

i smell when spell

planes are proof that we are all uust brains i jars controoled by aliens.

planes are a bet to how stupid we are. if we beleive that pure pysic can make sommit' fly, then the one in the lab coat wins 20 gibloops. (alien currency)

i have been to the other side...

its pink.

Yeah there interesting.

The most fascinating thing about aircraft is how spectacularly dull the mathematics/physics behind it all is.

tsk.
