Snow an Unstable Material...
"The Risk Management and Safety Department warns students of the dangers of building snow forts and tunnels in the piled snow. There is a very serious risk of snow collapsing, trapping and suffocating a student. Snow is an extremely unstable material. Fluctuating South Bend weather, and any shifts in the snow banks from snow removal vehicles further facilitate snow shifting and collapsing. Please use caution while enjoying the winter weather."
Abated Breath
I recently discovered that I did not know how to spell "bated" and in the process of looking up its correct spelling found this verse explaining the difference in Geoffrey Taylor's poem Cruel Clever Cat:
Sally, having swallowed cheese,
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.
Sally, having swallowed cheese,
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.
Moped vs. Pitbike
Not so good on the turns, but Devin's carefully built and tuned setup put out more power than the motorcycle. Isn't this track fantastic? I can't help but compare it to a sort of Brooklands for mopeds.
