    FACT: ON A ZXR250C THE REAR SHOCK PRESSURE IS 980kPa (PRETTY MUCH A LITTLE LESS THAN THE ATMOSPHERE'S PRESSURE) OR 142 PSI.
    i'd like to see you survive in 980kPa - that's the pressure at about 1500m below sea level! atmophere pressure on an ISA standard day is 29.98 inches of mercury, or 1013.2 hectopascals. QNH in the waikato today was 1009 hPa, so performance of all internal combustion engines was down by about 1/2%

    edit: thats why the mech gods invented turbo's and mixture controls for planes :P

    Yeah I realised after winja posted his shit that I got the hectopascals mixed with kilopascals... I'll edit it so people don't keep making me look stupid

    HECTO NOT KILO YA MUNT TRISTAN



    ISA 1013.2hPa with a lapse rate of 1hPa per 30ft and ISA temp 15deg C with an temp lapse rate of 1.98deg C/1000ft...

    Guessing you are a pilot or something as well eh :P

    of course using the equation 96T/P it is easy to work out the number of feet per hectopascal in a column of air.

    (T is absolute temp and P is ambient px)

    methanol burns with an invisible flame. you only know you're on fire as the hairs on your arms/head start smoking, and inhaling the invisible flame is obviously pretty bad for you.

    In the making of the last batman movie (batman begins) while shooting on the streets of Chicago, a person accidentally crashed into the Batmobile.

    The driver was drunk, and said he hit the car in a state of panic, believing the batmobile to be an invading alien spacecraft.

    Dave Grohl (Ex-Nirvana drummer, Foo Fighters frontman) recorded the first FF's album himself. He played all the instruments.

    If it took eight men six weeks to walk a fortnight, how long would it take a quadraplegic Irishman, wearing boxing gloves, to take the lid off a 1kg jar of treacle?

    No. The answer is National Superannuation. Get it?
