Caerus Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 What? That looks like some kind of retarded cyclocross-mtb breed.
HowellingWulf Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 On the Roam DVD there was a special feature from the Specialized R&D department. The designer - can't remember his name - builds suspension links out of Lego before doing them on a computer. Time to go play with my Lego sets methinks...Remember that. Will have to watch it again tonight.
HowellingWulf Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 I tried to get my kids interested in Lego, but they just weren't that keen, although we have used it to build some stuff for school projects. No yet, but it sometimes takes a while to change.I have to say that playing with Lego's from an early age had a big influence on my career choice in later years.
HowellingWulf Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Such incredible stuff, love going to see my one nephew and play with all his lego & toys. Has my avatar changed to the Spez lego bike jumping?If you mean this little guy, then yes, your avatar is shanana.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3664/3610693284_75c33150b1_z.jpg?zz=1

When I look at friends & family that I know played with lego/ mechano a lot, also seem to have been influenced as regard to their career choice

Do you think thats the age limit for playing with it "8- 28"?

The Drongo Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 So, imagine that the tunnel through the moon is 20 feet (7 meters) in diameter. Down one side is a ladder. If you were to climb down the ladder, what you would find is that your weight decreases. Gravity is caused by objects attracting one another with their mass (see Question 232). As you descend into the tunnel, more and more of the moon's mass is above you, so it attracts you upward. Once you climbed down to the center of the moon you would be weightless. The mass of the moon is all around you and attracting you equally, so it all cancels out and you would feel weightless. If you were to actually leap into the tunnel and allow yourself to fall, you would accelerate toward the center to a very high speed. Then you would zoom through the center and start decelerating. You would eventually stop when you reached the tunnel's lip on the other side of the moon, and then you would start falling back down the tunnel in the other direction. You would oscillate back and forth like this forever. If you could do this on earth, one amazing effect would be the ease of travel. The diameter of the earth is about 12,700 kilometers (7,800 miles). If you drilled the tunnel straight through the center and could create a vacuum inside, anything you dropped into the tunnel would reach the other side of the planet in just 42 minutes!
