Dear all:

I recently bought an extremely rare three-seat barber's chair. I can get it to recline easily enough, but getting it upright again takes an inordinate amount of effort. Does anyone out there have the manual for it?

Bubba was elated. He had just found a way to combine an UpsideDown Margarita with the latest thrill ride "Gorrr, I Just Shyte Myself". Due to a lack of R&D funding and limited testing time, however, he discovered several unintended consequences, the most serious being that riders immediately starting suffering from dehydration after they filled their pants and barfed at the same time. The lawyers at Bendover Grynn and Barrett are investigating the potential for a juicy lawsuit.

At the mid point of the "cure for scared of heights" training, participants on the roller coaster exchange places with those operating the crane. Here we see the student midway throug the exchange process.

We're also testing some new alloys that claim to be able to withstand the extreme (finger) crush forces sometimes experienced by some ride components.

"Haven't lost one yet" and we've been able to proove beyond doubt that the peak grad forces used by Mythbusters is at least 50% below what is commonly achievable in this scenario.
