Here’s a fantastic idea for a brand new computer game. Firstly, there’s this yellow blob (with a mouth) which has to roam round a maze swallowing little pills. Meanwhile, four ghosts (named Blinky, Pinky, Inkey, and of course, Clyde) are chasing you as you listen to a high-pitched wailing noise.

Ask A Republican
Ask a Republican – by Richard Martin (R-Ohio)
Hello! I often get asked questions about Republican policy by greasy-haired liberal hippies. Seattle was no exception in Sept of 2005. It was teeming with them. May God bless you and America.
Flying Snakes
Ever since I saw the Wizard of Oz as a youngster, I’ve been deathly afraid of flying monkeys. As an adult, I take solace in knowing that they are not real. A lot of animals can fly, even octopi (with help), but not monkeys.
Now I find out that there really are flying snakes. Not only can they just drop out of the sky, right on top of you, but they’re venomous.

“How fat is the dollar? And is a weak dollar really good?” Thats a very good question! The short answer is “I dunno.” The longer answer is “I really do not know.”
Spinach
Calorie for calorie, leafy green vegetables like spinach with its delicate texture and jade green color provide more nutrients than any other food.
For the first time, MIT researchers have incorporated a plant’s ability to convert sunlight to energy into a solid-state electronic “spinach sandwich” device that may one day power laptops and cell phones.

Aerospace Engineers
Within the broad category of “aerospace engineer“, there are structural analysts, thermal analysts, mechanical designers, electrical designers, environmental test engineers, orbital mechanics engineers, loads analysts, and probably half a dozen other specialties that I haven’t listed. There are software engineers, who write the software that either makes the space instrument take its measurements and return data to earth, or make control surfaces on planes respond to the pilots commands.
There are a lot of Aeronautical And Aerospace Engineering Colleges in the Us and abroad. Many have graduate programs. Where are all of these students going to get jobs?
Aerospace industry employment increased in 2005 after reaching a 50-year low a year earlier.
Aerospace Engineers work at places like Boeing, Rockwell Collins, and others
A high-strength aluminium alloy prepared by researchers in the US could significantly improve the performance of next-generation fighter aircraft, specifically the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Developed at AMES, the US Department of Defence laboratory run by Iowa State University, the aluminium-yttrium-nickel-cobalt alloy has the potential to replace heavier and costlier components of ‘cool’ sections of jet engines, such as in fan blades.
GE Transportation Aircraft Engines is the world’s leading manufacturer of large jet aircraft engines.
Today, Pratt & Whitney engines power nearly half of the world’s commercial fleet. Every few seconds – more than 20,000 times a day – a Pratt & Whitney-powered airliner takes flight somewhere in the world.
More Rolls-Royce engines [are] built in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world
