Back when Fuel prices were low and emmisson levels were high

[orchy]

In a recent shop clean-up i found this photo taken back in '92, quite the power for the boat, cannot even imagine the fuel it must have guzzled.

Arrr Arrrr Arrrr!!!!

But, if you look at figures of emissions then, and now you also look at how they pull those numbers, you will see, clearly, that emissions are not much different now than what they were then. They take about 3 processes out of of the way they get the numbers now, than they did when emissions posted high, so they can claim a lower number.

Speed of Dark

The speed of Dark is faster than The Speed of light because The Light chases away the Darkness.

[Kev43V]

i beg to differ
the speed of the absence of light is exactly the same as the speed of light LOL
but i liked your reply

[mbowers]

I don't think that was photo shopped, I see that kind of stuff here in Tampa Bay occasionally...You always have a get home motor.....

[orchy]

No photo shop, it was taken in Wiarton Ontario back in '92 as you can see on the photo. There is a Poker run every year on lake Huron. This boat is just one of many there. The picture is deceiving as i assume it is a fairly long boat. I dont remember much as i was only 4.

The motors look too small to me. An OMC V-8 is almost 7 feet tall. That boat would have to be close to 30 feet long. Must be a deceiving picture.

But the big question ?? if your driving along at the speed of light, and you turn on your lights, will the do anything??? things I need to know

[Tom]

its real ... I believe the boat is a Wellcraft Scarab, probably 30' or so (note the "radar arch" that actually has a radar dome mounted on it) named "Real McCoy" ... yeah, it'll be a little thirsty!

Dark sucker theory.

I don't know how the conversation went from a gas guzzling boat, to these light theories. But I thought I'd enlighten (no pun intended) some of the nice readers here who have not heard of the Dark Sucker theory. Believe it or not, there are some folks out there who have not heard of it.

The Dark Sucker Theory

For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light,
but recent information has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don't
emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers.
The Dark Sucker Theory and the existence of dark suckers prove
that dark has mass and is heavier than light.
First, the basis of the Dark Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs
suck dark. For example, take the Dark Sucker in the room you are in.
There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The
larger the Dark Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark.
Dark Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck
dark than the ones in this room.
So with all things, Dark Suckers don't last forever. Once they are
full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot
on a full Dark Sucker.
A candle is a primitive Dark Sucker. A new candle has a white wick.
You can see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing
all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to
the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because
it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. One of the
disadvantages of these primitive Dark Suckers is their limited range.
There are also portable Dark Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't
handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage
Unit. When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied
or replaced before the portable Dark Sucker can operate again.
Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark Sucker, friction from
the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating
Dark Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel
into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a
great amount of heat and therefore it's not wise to touch an operating
candle.
Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below
the surface of the lake, you would see a lot of light. If you were to
slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and
darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This
is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the
lighter light floats at the top. The is why it is called light.
Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were
to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly
opened the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet.
But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave
the closet.
Next time you see an electric bulb, remember that it is a Dark Sucker.

I feel like a sucker for reading all of that

Here is what happens...

But the big question ?? if your driving along at the speed of light, and you turn on your lights, will the do anything??? things I need to know

What happens is, the bulb is producing light but the light cannot escape because you are traveling at the speed of light, so the pressure builds up in the bulb and then!..................

IT EXPLODES!

And you are hurled off in to eternity with a flash!

And check out this boat. 2000 HP!
