1 bell is not enough.

I'll need lots of them. To increase opportunities.

I'll need different kinds. To broaden prospects.


The big ones. To maximize awareness.

Strategically placed. To expand the playing field.

I'll be listening for that distant mating call.

I thought I read a few years ago digital camo was considered a huge failure and the military was abandoning it mainly because the grainy texture stood out in a natural environment Guess not.

It was called Project Cormorant I think, guess they worked the bugs out.

Ever wonder what it may sound like if a crowded room shouted your name?

Me neither. Until i saw this.

This is probably as close as I will ever get to experiencing unified acceptance.

I read this today on the Car and Driver site, and it made me laugh. It is such epically florid scenery-chewing prose. Kudos to Daniel Pund; it's his byline.

On the eighth day, God created Mid-Engined Corvette. Certain Mesoamerican cultures offered the still-beating hearts of human sacrifices to Mid-Engined Corvette. Medieval Europeans believed that Mid-Engined Corvette’s horn could cure all maladies. It is said that Kublai Khan kept in his personal zoo at Xanadu a Mid-Engined Corvette of exceptional splendor. The phrase “mid-engined Corvette” means “goat sucker” in Spanish, owing to the thing’s propensity to drink the blood of livestock. Inside the briefcase from Pulp Fiction? Mid-Engined Corvette.

Mid-Engined Corvette has always been with us, even when it totally didn’t exist. And short of a few concept vehicles over the decades, it has never existed beyond the realm of folklore, the occasional conspiracy theory, and the fever dreams of automotive journalists.

But as it is written, so it shall be. Mid-Engined Corvette is real, and you’ll see the official, genuine article next spring. And no, Chevy isn’t playing any games with the terminology: The engine will be bolted between the occupants and the rear wheels.

Anyway the next Vette will plant the loud unit in an unVettelike location. It looks every bit the globetrotting GT car. Like a Ferrari 458 with a heavier bone structure. I do wonder how much plumbing that radiator needs.

I have always wondered why the standard extraction glassware was called Soxhlet. The texts I had back in the day did not say. Thanks to the Internet, I was able to find out today. I was wondering if the name was Albanian; they do weird things with Xes and associated consonants. I was incorrect.

Franz von Soxhlet was a German with Belgian ancestry. Huh.
